So, I thought that I didn't really read that many books...until I realized that I had my Goodreads shelf organized wrong... It is safe to say then that I am slowly coming out of my reading slump. I sat that even though I still felt like I had a bit of a slow month, and that is because in the odd mood to watch some movies.
I do like watching movies but I have a hard time sitting down and focusing on only the movie. Sometimes multitasking does not work in your favour. I have also been playing Horizon Zero Dawn (finally), and that is taking up the majority of my time because it is an open-world game with lots to do.
That being said, I would consider this a successful reading month by the fact alone that I read, or technically listened to, two massive books. I also got through some ARCs which is always a good thing.
On to the statistics!
I read a total of 10 books, 1 novella, 1 anthology, and 4 volumes of manga this month for a total of 16 books and roughly 5,708 pages.
I ended up DNFing 4 books this month all more or less because I either was just not getting into the book or the setup was so bad that I couldn't get myself to keep reading. Here are all the books, and one manga, that I ended up putting down.
Blood Blockade Battlefront (Kekkai Sensen) Vol.1 by Yasuhiro Nightow
Widow's Welcome by D.K. Fields
The Nesting by C.J. Cooke
