July was a bit of a slow month for me. I was on vacation the first week and got a lot read. Then back to work and my baby and I got sick, and well, it all just stopped. But here’s what I read, loved, and hated!


Sweet Dreams Bake Shop by J.A. Whiting
Review here.
Cute cozy mystery. Three stars. Just isn’t my favorite genre.

Amid Stars and Darkness by Chani Lynn Feener
Review here.
Great start to this space trilogy! It was one of my recommendations for the upcoming Book Battle!

Ice Cream Murder by Leighann Dobbs
Review here.
Another cutsey cozy mystery. A lot of our Book Battle criteria were food themed, so a lot of cozy mysteries this month.

Double Stuffed by Farrah Paige
My least favorite book this month. I didn’t review it. The plot had promise – baker forced to go on a reality baking competition and falls in love with producers. But the language – like meat stick. I just couldn’t.

Between Frost and Fury by Chani Lynn Feener
Great second installment to the Xenith trilogy! I was so glad I already had book 3 – that cliffhanger!

Within Ash and Stardust by Chani Lynn Feener
My first blog tour! See it here!
The reason I binged this whole trilogy this month. I absolutely loved it! Review on the blog tour post.

Final Girls by Riley Sager
Review here.
Such a twisty mystery! I LOVED it! Can’t wait to read more from Mr. Sager.

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Review here.
Probably my favorite book I read this month. I want to live in this universe! Ugh this was just such an adorable novel!


Karamo by Karamo Brown
I love getting to read all the Fab 5’s memoirs! He gave great advice on emotional growth and how to handle problems. My favorite chapter was about the Queer Eye casting process!

Contagion by Teri Terry
Review to come!
I just finished this book today and I loved it! I was graciously provided an ARC. It was a page turner and I want to read book two!
Be sure to check out my August TBR! It’s a doozy!
Until next time…
