July 2024 Reading Wrap-Up, PLUS my One-Month on BookTube Anniversary

#ramble #wrapup

It’s my 1-month BookTube Anniversary, and what a busy month it has been! I managed to finish fifteen titles this month, which seems like a lot until you realize three of them are short story anthologies, two of them are novellas, and one additional is a novella + short story collection. So that leaves eight “full-length” books, of those one was non-fiction and the rest fiction.

Four of the books were advanced reader copies that I received from #netgalley, two were books that were part of my ongoing #splatterwestern project, and two were part of my ongoing #mynovellife project.

Some of these titles have/will have video reviews here on the channel which you can check out, and all have GoodReads reviews, linked below:

Please be patient with these early videos, I am not used to being on camera in this way and it will probably take a while for me to feel comfortable in this format!
