I was really hoping to get this post out last weekend, but I couldn’t quite finish off what would have been the 15th book on this list in time! Maybe if I had been pretty close to the end I would have been able to review it anyway, but I wasn’t even close enough to really feel comfortable doing that yet. Luckily, I finished it off just a day or two later so it meant I could keep on track with this series! I still find that I’m reading a little more slowly than I would like, but I do seem to be on an upward trend in terms of my page count per month. I’m hoping to be able to pick up the pace just a tiny bit through the rest of the year because I have an absolute ton of books that I want to get to soon! It’s getting to a point where it’s getting difficult to choose what to read next because I have so many that I’m so excited for. It’s times like these were reading seasonally both helps and hinders me in a way, and I also have to keep choosing which goals to prioritize. I do find this year has been quite a mixed bag overall. I’m generally enjoying the majority of what I’m reading, but I also don’t quite feel like I’ve found very many favourites yet either! At least that makes it a little easier to come up with a variety of adjectives to use in these reviews, but I’m hoping to find lots more new favourites soon. As always, if anyone would like a little more detail about my thoughts on any of these posts, feel free to ask or check out my Recent Reads series, where I cover some of the books I’ve read a bit more thoroughly.
