Monthly Rewind: June 2019

B O O K S

During the month of June, I read 10 books. (Edit: I wrote this post after reading Jade War, thinking it was my last book of the month, but I ended up reading two more books 😂)

We Hunt the Flame | Amina’s Voice | All the Things We Never Said | Red, White & Royal Blue | Jade City

The Black Veins | Pan’s Labyrinth | Soul of the Sword | The Battle | Jade War

Late additions to the post: We Set The Dark on Fire & Two Can Keep A Secret

M U S I C

Look what God gave her | The Fifth Season | Chica | Grace | Cheok Cheok | Birthday | Who Do U Love? | Mad Max

A feature section to highlight my favourite posts from my fellow bloggers that were posted this month. 

  • 63 Prompts to Help You Write That Book Review! – Even though I’ve been blogging for a couple of years now, I always struggle to write a review. Some days I can’t force the words out of me and I can’t seem to say what I want about the read I’ve read. The lovely bloggers over at The Quiet Pond have made a huge post with prompts to help get the words rolling. I’ve used this while writing two reviews and I’ve seen the immense boost it has given. I found myself writing a lot more and thinking more deeply about my review in places that I would’ve otherwise missed.
  • The Perks & Pitfalls of Readathons: Are They Worth It? – A Discussion – I personally have a love/hate relationship with readathons. I’m only doing #YearOfTheAsian because it’s quite easy to handle. (Since a lot of authors that are on my TBR are Asian and the rules for the readathon are simple) I love Nyan’s discussion about readathons!
  • There Are No Small Parts in Jeanie Finlay’s ‘The Last Watch’ – A post that reflects on the final season of GOT. Despite whatever thoughts you have about the writing, getting to see the heart of the production was why I particularly loved The Last Watch documentary so much. Daisy, an old school friend who studied film, really summarises her the documentary really well!

That’s it for this month! Tell me what went on in YOUR life this month! What sort of things was important for you this month? New obsessions? New TV shows? Or book? Any new song recs (I’m always open to new music!)? Best books you read this month?

    As far as TV goes, I just finished the final season of Jessica Jones and about to watch Season 2 of a show called DARK. One of my fav songs is The Waves by Bastille.

    Happy July!

    1. Yes!! I hope you read Jade City soon! It’s so good 😭

      Dark is on Netflix, right? I think i scrolled past that the other day but I wasn’t in the mood for a series just yet. Will check that out when I can!

  2. Ahh you’ve read so many books this month, this is amazing! I really enjoyed Red, White and Royal Blue and The Black Veins and can’t wait to read We Hunt The Flame 🙂
    I hope you’re having a lovely July! <3
