A look back at my June reading…

DG Reads

I really cannot believe that June is already ending... and the fact that it means the year is going to be half over in a matter of hours is just mind blowing! The end of June also marks the end of my first three months on Bookstagram and my first month with this blog! It… Continue reading A look back at my June reading…

ON WRITING: A MEMOIR OF THE CRAFT by Stephen King

DG Reads

Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stephen King is an author that my dad introduced me to many years ago (possibly at an earlier age than one might generally think Stephen King reading to be suitable). Even now we discuss when he has a new book coming out and whether or not each of us has read… Continue reading ON WRITING: A MEMOIR OF THE CRAFT by Stephen King

DARK MATTER by Blake Crouch

DG Reads

Rating: 4.5 / 5 DARK MATTER by Blake Crouch is a book I had seen pop up on bookstagram a few times with recommendations, but it hadn't made it onto my TBR just yet. When it was selected for the June book for #notyomamasbookclub hosted by @downtogetthefiction and @kraysbookclub on Instagram, I decided to give… Continue reading DARK MATTER by Blake Crouch

FRONT DESK by Kelly Yang

DG Reads

Rating: 4 / 5 I don't read a lot of children's' literature which probably isn't too surprising since I don't actually have any children (and my furry kid doesn't really care to have me read to her - the voices coming from my audiobooks are already a little questionable). That said, the #readingwomenmonth bingo board… Continue reading FRONT DESK by Kelly Yang

Rating: 4 / 5 SORRY I’M LATE, I DIDN’T WANT TO COME: ONE INTROVERT’S YEAR OF SAYING YES by Jessica Pan firstly has an amazing title that caught my attention!

WAR OF THE WORLDS by H.G. Wells

In a recent readathon, one of the prompts for the team competition was to read a book on a certain page of your TBR on Goodreads. When I checked my TBR, most of the… Continue reading WAR OF THE WORLDS by H.G. Wells
