Hello and welcome to my mid-month reading check in! While this post it a tad bit earlier than normal. I wanted to post it now so I can really focus on books I am writing full reviews on in the second half of the year. So far this month I have already read some pretty awesome books and I really can’t wait to pick up a few more before the end of 2020. Anyway, here are my mini reviews for the books I have read so far this month.
The Wedding from Hell by J.R. WardMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
As always, J.R. Ward is a great romance writer.

The Blade Between by Sam J. MillerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
*Book given via netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
Overall, I think the author created a really rich history for this town that really lent itself to the plot and structure of the story. I think the author is a talented writer and I plan on giving his other works a try as well. I really enjoyed the use of the paranormal and really elevated this story into an engaging and unique horror. I feel like if this book sounds interesting to you, you should give it a go.

You Can’t Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain by Phoebe RobinsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Phoebe talked about many large topics such as feminism and race. This book is filled with wit, truth, and personal stories. The author is truly talented when it comes to talking about deep and complex topics, but balancing it with her sense of humor. Both I really appreciated. I need to find her stuff on a streaming service and also pick up her other book ASAP.

The Changeling by Victor LaValleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book ended up being so much more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be. It was beautifully written and surprising. I expected the story to be one thing, but it transformed into something magically different in the best way possible. I really enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotions this book put my through as a reader as well as a family legend that ties into myths.

As of right now I am in the middle of two books. The first is A Promised Land by Barack Obama and the second is Royal Holiday by Jasmine Gullory. I am 5% into A Promised Land and I am enjoying it, I am reading while listening along with the audiobook that is read by Obama, so it has a lot of his personality in it. Royal Holiday is also really good, I am about 10% into that story and I am really loving the set up for this holiday romantic story.

Thanks so much Misty! I am honestly surprised I read as much as I have. I think it comes down to bringing my ereader to work again and reading on my lunch to decompress a bit. What book did you recently finish and which ones are you planning on finishing?

It took me almost a month but I finally finished Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco and I really enjoyed it. The book I’m going to be finishing today is Song of Susannah by Stephen King it’s the 6th book in the Dark Tower series.

I am glad you ended up enjoying the book you spent so much time with. I am still on book two of the Dark Tower Series. I really need to get my butt in gear in that regard.

I was enjoying it when I was reading it it took me so long to get through it because I haven’t been reading all that much the past several months. I hope when you get back to the series you enjoy it.
