Hello friends!

I hope you’re doing well! Today I’m bringing you my Wrap Up for the month of July – but keep your expectations low, because this wasn’t a great reading month. 

I think it’s fair to say that I’m going through a bit of a reading slump. Looking back, I can see how few things contributed to this, but to sum it up: I had a busy month and I wasn’t loving my TBR.

And I know I prepared my TBR right before the month started, but what that didn’t work out very well is that I tried to follow up with the series I’ve started and I just wasn’t in the mood to read them. I have a hard time reading the series because I get bored of reading the same story. So this month didn’t go exactly like I wanted.But in reality what really matters to me is not the amount of books I read or if I complete the TBR for the month – it’s simply to maintain the connection I have with books. Keeping the habit of reading books frequently is something I really want, so in the end that is all that matters.

So let’s move on and take a look at the books I read this past month:

1. Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner: 4.25/5⭐
2. The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich by Deya Muniz: 3.75/5⭐

You saw that well – I read only 2 books this month! One of them was planned and the other one was a random book I picked!

Starting with my only read book from my July TBR, I’ve read ”Crying in H Mart”! This was a very nice book that made me cry a lot. If you don’t know what it’s about, it’s essentially a memoir and the focus is on the author’s difficult relationship with her mother. They didn’t get along growing up, but when they slowly start to get along her mother gets very sick and dies in a very short time. It’s a very sad book, full of regret and what ifs, but to me it was an important read. I saw myself in this book and it made me reflect on what really matters in life. I definitely recommend this one!

The other book I read was the fun “The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich”! I was looking for something light to read, and I came across this one! I loved everything about this book: the art was very beautiful, the story was fun, and the cheese puns made it special. It was a nice book to pass time, and for that reason I liked it. It doesn’t have a big plot going on, but it was fun!

As usual, I’ll be posting the reviews for these books soon!
