Holy hell, how is it already July? That doesn't seem possible! I swear, each month this year is flying by faster than the one before it. Work has been keeping me very, very busy (often been at it 7 days a week in June), but I still managed to read 21 books in June. Many of them were short smut stories that were free (damn you, BookBub!), so....yeah, June was a very porn-ish month for me, haha. Dirty, dirty book porn. I officially christen June of 2015 to be my month of threesomes and BDSM.
This month was definitely quantity over quality. Only 4 books were really "damn, that was such a good book!" reads. I guess I'm in a bit of a reading slump right now! I haven't read a five star read in quite a while. Have any suggestions for me?

| Add to Goodreads New adult contemporary romance 3 stars. I think this was the lowest rating I've ever given a Halle book. I love her, but this book just didn't do it for me. It's a spin off of one of the characters in Love, In English and Love, In Spanish, and the character did better as a secondary. |

| Add to Goodreads Erotic dark romance. 3.5 stars. I was truly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It was fascinating. It's quite graphic, so proceed with caution if you're sensitive to abuse/rape. |

 |
| Add to Goodreads Paranormal erotica. 1 star. Short, short story. The award for the worst book I read all year goes to this tiny train wreck right here. And I read 50 Shades, so that's saying something. It was free is my only excuse.... |

Yay for a smutty month! Love those:) It's too bad only 4 out of the 21 books you read were winners though, hopefully July gives you a better ratio! It's been a while since I've had a 5 star rating too, I feel like a lot of us are in slumps at the moment:)
ReplyDeleteSorry it wasn't a great month with a few that just didn't wow you. However, you still rocked it! And as Jenny and Heidi say... YaY! for a slutty month! LOL
ReplyDeleteDang you were busy!!! And hmm I'll have to check a few of these out. I keep eye balling The Offer.
ReplyDeleteHoping you have to work less and read even more in July. Yes where is the year going to!
ReplyDeleteI hope you can slow things down at work and enjoy some free time in july ! Several of the novellas above are on my to-read list. There were 2 five-stars romances I read this year that really stood out : The deal by Elle Kennedy and Rise by Karina Bliss. Rise wasn't very smutty, but very sexy and a hell of a book that really surprised me and broke a few stereotypes !
