July Reading Wrap-Up
Hi friends! I wasn’t sure if I was going to do a July reading wrap-up. I did not have a good month at all. Life got a little crazy and it still hasn’t settled properly. However, I wanted to get back into blogging for August, so here we are.
Let’s get into my July reading wrap-up!

July Reading Wrap-Up: What I Read in July
As I said, July was terrible. My parents were sick, I couldn’t live at home for a while, and I moved into my own apartment. I was either too stressed or anxious to read, so I struggled. Here are some of the books I read in July.
It Ends in Fire by Andrew Shvarts
This book was one of my most anticipated books of the year, and I was a little disappointed. Overall I felt like we were told all of the important things, not shown. I did like the magic system, and I wish we delved deeper into it.
You can read my full review for It Ends in Fire below!
The Ravens by Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige
I really enjoyed The Ravens. It made me nostalgic for my own university days and I loved the magic system. I’ll be posting a review later this week, so keep an eye out for that.
Tales from the Hinterland by Melissa Albert
I received a copy of Tales from the Hinterland from Penguin Random House SA. I enjoyed some of the stories more than others. This is a nice addition to the Hinterland series, and I would recommend it if you love fairytales. My full review will be coming soon!
Witches Steeped in Gold by Ciannon Smart
This book. I am so disappointed in this book.
Witches Steeped in Gold was our Read Better Book Club pick, and probably my most disappointing book of the year. I have a lot of things to say, so review to come soon.
And that’s my July reading wrap-up! Not my best month. I also didn’t receive or request any ARCs in July, which I’m proud of. I did buy a bunch of books though, so let’s take a look.

I also read the Ravens and Witches Steeped in Gold. Not my favorites but let’s hope August is a better reading month😂
Ravens sounds intriguing. Need to look it up on Goodreads. I kind of wanted to read Witches steeped in gold but after seeing so many mixed reviews I am in two minds about it.
Hey, sorry to know about your parents. But I hope you have an infinitely better August. And I’m so curious to know more of your thoughts on Witches Steeped in Gold. It so trending these days.
the ravens sounds good!
I can’t wait to read your review for the Ravens since it’s one of my most anticipated release this year! 😀
I’ve been looking through your posts and see so many books that I’m interested in, or that I’ve read and loved. I’d love to keep up with your opinions on all of them, so I’m following now 🙂
