july round-up

July was a really slow month. I wasn’t in the mood to read novels but I did read lots of manga. So I’m including those in my round-up too because I would love to talk more about manga too~

1. One Piece by Eiichiro Oda

Rating: 5/5 stars
Ongoing Series

I love One Piece. It’s on my top 3 favorite mangas of all time for a reason. It brings me on the best journeys each time I read it. This took a while but it was so worth it. My review of the ongoing series will be out soon~

2. Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet by Yamamori Mika

Rating: 5/5 stars
Completed Series

I liked this ending much more than the mangaka’s previous work (might reread that too). This is one more my favorite slice-of-life rom-com shoujos :)) It just ended and now the extra chapters are being released! I’m hoping there’s a wedding chapter hehe


I was in the middle of 2 books when July ended so I decided to name them as well! I hope I’ll actually finish them soon :))

1. A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E.Schwab

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I’ve been in the middle of this book forever (like a year). I love the start already (like LOVE) — from the plot to the characters to the setting. But it’s been a really slow read for me. This month I managed ton get quite far into the book, further then I’ve ever been and I hope to finish it soon!

2. The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

This is a reread but I can’t remember the last time I actually read The Heroes of Olympus series. I finished the Percy Jackson series again last year but never got to its sequel so I’m really happy to have the time and motivation to do so now!


That’s all for July 2019! Let me know what books you read in the last month or any you are currently reading 🙂

7. More Than Forever by Jay McLean

Rating: 4.5/5 stars
My review for More Than Forever will be out soon!


I was really into New Adult books this month! From fantasy to contemporary romances, I was just delving into any NA books that I could get my hands on!

If you saw my May/June TBR post, you might realise that I haven’t actually read any of the books on my TBR. I tried so hard to get through A Study of Charlotte but I DNF it in the end. And I’m still trudging through A Darker Shade of Magic! I won’t give up on ADSOM for sure so maybe you’ll still see it in my next TBR for July/August – See you then!

may round-up

This month I read 5 books. Considering that I’m still in some kind of a reading slump it’s something I’m proud of!

5. Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

Rating: 5/5 stars
Check out my review for this amazing book on Friday 31st May 2019!


From my ratings, you can tell I loved these month’s books quite a lot. If I didn’t enjoy them I would have dropped them really quickly due to my reading slump. If I could only choose one book to reread I would always choose Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston so do pick that up if you can 🙂
