June 2026 Book Blog Wrap-Up

Published on by Celeste9 Comments

This was a weird reading month (again). I feel like I did “worse” than last month. I had a lofty goal of reading a bunch of my physical books for Pride Month, but then fell off the wagon, so to speak. Between travelling, work distractions, gardening, and not really jiving with most of my reads, I kind of felt like I was in a little slump. But I still finished a few books, so I have a bit of a June 2026 Book Blog Wrap-Up for everyone. As usual, feel free to jump around to the various sections that interest you.

July 2026 Book Releases

Published on by Celeste6 Comments

I have about half as many books in my July 2026 Book Releases list compared to months past, like June’s list. Sure, there are others that piqued my interested, but these select few are ones that really piqued my interest. It could be there’s also a bit of a lull in fantasy book releases that interest me…or I just haven’t looked hard enough. But I think there’s still a good mix in this July 2026 book releases selection below.

June 2026 On My Radar

Published on by Celeste4 Comments

For the June 2026 On My Radar there were a couple of books for which I read multiple reviews. This doesn’t happen often, but I guess there were a few books that a good number of folks were interested in at the same time! Anyway, take a look at some of the posts I hopped over to this month. Maybe you’ll find something to add to your TBR!

WWW Wednesday

WWW Wednesday: June 24, 2026

I’ve been in a weird reading mood all month. I can’t seem to settle down to read. Perhaps one reason is most of the books I’ve picked up so far are kind of average, so I’m not super motivated to read them. The other reason is it’s gardening season and I was in Florida for a few days visiting friends and going to theme parks. I’m trying to stay out of a reading slump. It’s by pure determination that I even have a WWW Wednesday update!

WWW Wednesday was revived and hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. The idea is to answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses.
