DNF:
Illusionarium by Heather Dixon and Trusting Liam by Molly McAdams - Check out my "It's Not You, It's Me" post as to why this book didn't work for me.
1. Favorite Book Read This Month: The Secret Life of Violet Grant by Beatriz Williams is my favorite book of the month. I love historical fiction and Williams writes such interesting characters. I can't wait to read her latest novel this summer as well.
2. Biggest Surprise: I thoroughly enjoyed Ross Poldark. If you like historical fiction, this book shouldn't be missed. I can see why it is so popular after all these years. Keep your eyes out for my review this month and also an amazing giveaway!
3. Biggest Disappointment: Rook by Sharon Cameron really didn't "wow" me. It ended up just being a "meh" kind of book for me. I was able to finish it, but I struggled. My review will be posted next week.
4. Favorite Post: My 2015 Picks for Best Beach Reads and My Summer Reading List
5. My Favorite Part of June: My family vacation was by far my favorite part of June. Lazy days at the beach will always be my favorite as well as spending more time with my family. A perfect combination.
I hope you guys had a great June! Thanks for visiting,
I will have to look for the novel Ross Poldark. I just caught up on episode one and I really it. Of course the star is Aidan Turner which doesn't hurt!
ReplyDeleteI think you would really like the novel. It reminds me so much of Jane Austen, except from a guy's perspective. I agree...Aidan Turner isn't so bad. haha. He's pretty swoon worthy. :) I'm glad you are liking it! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteGAH! I so want to read The Secret Life of Violet Grant! Why is my TBR list getting so long, Christina?!? I'm so ready for vacation next week; I may not talk to Jonathan the entire time - ha! Great reading month!
ReplyDeleteI love Beatriz Williams' novels, so I definitely wasn't disappointed by Violet Grant...such a great story! haha. I try to get caught up on my reading during vacation as well. It's the best! Have a great day, Tara and thanks for visiting!
