Reading Update + TBR!

Recently Finished

This was a crazy slow reading week, I only finished 1 book and am in the middle of 2 others.

1. Us (Him #2) by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really wanted a quick, steamy romance to balance out City of Girls. And this definitely fit that bill! This series is so precious and so steamy. I’m sad to see it end! This is a M/M new adult romance following hockey players. I really appreciated that this book tackled tough topics, especially homophobia and depression. This was a wonderful duology, I highly recommend it.

Currently Reading

1. City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert

I’m about 1/3 of the way through this and I’m really enjoying it. It is historical literary fiction though so I’m moving a lot slower through it than normal.

2. The Last of August (Charlotte Holmes #2) by Brittany Cavallaro

I picked this up on Hoopla on a whim because I wanted an audiobook and needed a romance break (especially with all the romance I’ll be reading next month!) I’m about a third through this as well.

What’s Next

My goal for this week is to knock out some arcs and library books I have that don’t fit into my June TBR(s) – because readathons.

1. The First Mistake by Sandie Jones (E-arc/Edelweiss+)

2. Something Like Gravity by Amber Smith (E-arc/Netgalley)

3. Royals by Rachel Hawkins (Physical/Library)
