Well, another month of reading has come to an end. July was a busy month, so I didn't read as much as I wanted. I also had a few more migraines this month, and reading can be difficult when your head is pounding, your eyes hurt, and you just want to sit in a dark room. 

2025 Reading Goal~ 125 Books

I've read 90 books so far this year. Good reads says I'm 17 books ahead of schedule this year, so I may exceed my goal. 

Here's how my book recap goes. 

~I have included pictures if I have them and have provided links to them on Amazon so you can find out more about the books before you buy or check them out at your local library. 

~ If I left a more detailed review for a book, I'll include the link under the book so you can check it out. I leave reviews for books I really like or have received for reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, and this blog. 

~If I receive a preview book, I'll include the release date for you.

~ Each book will have a rating in bold. I rate each book with a numbered star.

The rating system I use is as follows ~

*5 This book was amazing! I couldn't put it down. I loved the book so much that I either bought the book or planned to buy it to add to my ever-growing collection so I could reread it. 

*4 This means the book is definitely worth reading. I really enjoyed the book. I liked it, but not enough to buy it and add it to my collection. 

*3 This book was good. It wasn't the best book I've read, but I did enjoy it. I wouldn't need to read it again. 

*2 This book was okay. I finished it, but had to force myself to. I probably didn't like the plot or the characters. The story just didn't work for me. 

*1 This means I didn't like the book at all, and I couldn't finish it.

Here are this month's books~

1. Dangerous Pursuit by Bethany Rosa   3***

An age-gap erotic romance. The characters were okay. The story was predictable. I won't continue with the series. 

2. Summer in Sweetbriar Cove by Meloday Grace   5*****

I really enjoyed this small-town spicy romance story and enjoyed meeting the characters. 

3. Love at Wild Harbor by Grace Worthington   4****

A chocolate shop, a fixer-upper, three sisters, and the small town boy returns home. A sweet love story comes to life. 

4. One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune   5*****

Good things happen at the lake, at least that's what Alice's grandmother says. This is the perfect read for summer. 

5. The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and Facts by Dr. Mary Claire Haver   4****

A great book for those of us dealing with all the craziness that comes with perimenopause and menopause.

6. All For You by Meloday Grace   4****

This is the second book in the Sweetbirat Cove series.

7. Sam the Guardian Angel by Lis Luwia   4****

This book is perfect for teaching little ones about their Guardian Angel and the importance of Mass. 

8. Jesus Enters Jerusalem by Jane Fryer   3***

This book retells the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem.

9. The Week That Led to Easter by Joanne Larrison   3***

This book retells the story of Holy Week and Jesus' crucifixion. 

10. A Week to Remember by Ruth O'Leary   5*****

I loved this story about three Irish women on the journey of a lifetime. I enjoyed the book so well that I plan on reading more from this author. 

11. Possessive by Willow Winters   3***

Unrequited love, maybe? I read it. It was okay. A quick read, but it wasn't really a great story. 

 Well, that's it for today! Stay tuned for my August reads. I'll get them posted in the first week of September. I have some good ones I've started!
