We are officially halfway through the year, and that means it’s time for a little report on how my reading goals are going! While June was not a productive reading month at all, I’m still not all that behind! For the report, I’ll be showing all the books I’ve read so far. I’m not going to go into too much depth with them though, so if you’d like to see more about a particular book, you can click on the links to go to the review posts! Let’s get started!

All in all, I’m pretty satisfied with the way things are looking. I mean, this time last year I did not have this many books read, so this is an upgrade! Of course, I’m still a little behind, but I’m sure that will be fixed here soon. Again, you can click the links to see my brief reviews for the books (except for a couple in January, I don’t think I reviewed two of the short stories). But anyway, I’m hoping the next time I do a report I will have reached my reading goals.

How has your reading year been going? Let me know in the comments below!

God bless y’all and have a wonderful weekend!
