A charming romance, with an unusual premise and characters, it was hard not to enjoy The Bride Test by Helen Hoang.
I hadn’t read anything by Helen Hoang before, although I have heard good things about her first novel, The Kiss Quotient. So, I started The Bride Test not really knowing what to expect. I was hoping for some romance, something light and fun to clear my head. It certainly lived up to expectations.

You wait and wait and then three come along at once.
This month, the same has happened with incredible books. June wasn’t lacking in great reads. I mean I read I read Daisy Jones & The Six and An American Marriage!
But I haven’t had a five star read in quite some time, and July delivered not one, but two! I was completely blown away by Dark Matter and it is now one of my favourite books I have ever read.
Then, the last book I read in July, The Heavens, came along and blew my mind all over again. I’m about to start the first book of August (Recursion) and so fingers crossed for a hat trick!
Here’s the wrap-up of all the books I read in July…
Hello everyone, welcome to my June reads round-up! Somehow things got even busier for me than last month and so I only managed to read 8 books in June. Perhaps this will be my new normal going forward?! That said I enjoyed everything I read and even found a couple of new favourites!
Genre wise I was mostly drawn to contemporary literary fiction, finding inspiration from the Women’s Prize Shortlist.
So here’s the list of each of the books I read in June…
It’s been a busy month for me, and unfortunately, that coincided with a lack of reading motivation. But I’m still proud to have read 9(ish) books this month, so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been!
What better way to spend the Summer, than by reading everything I can get my hands on. There are so many books on my Summer Reads list, it’s been hard to narrow down. So here are my Top 10 books on my Summer TBR, in no particular order…
