July 2022 wasn’t a big bookhaul for me and when we posted our hauls, I had already read three out of the 4 books I bought that month. Is that still how it is a year later? Let’s find out!
It Happened One Summer – Tessa Bailey
Read
Tessa Bailey is an author that’s hit or miss for me, but I really enjoyed It Happened One Summer. This was a fun summer read and it definitely lived up to its hype.
Nyxia Unleashed & Nyxia Uprising – Scott Reintgen
Read/Unread
So it’s a year later and I still haven’t taken a picture of Nyxia Uprising, haha. The first two books in this series had me hooked and I did start Nyxia Uprising. Apparently, I got distracted and haven’t finished the series yet. I should though, because I believe I was already pretty far into the book.
Every Summer After – Carley Fortune
Read
Every Summer After was a book I saw everywhere after it released. Hype surrounding a book can make expectations increase and that doesn’t always work. I flew through this book, but I can understand that some people didn’t like the ending. There were a few elements that I didn’t love, but all in all I enjoyed Every Summer After.
End Result:
Read: 3/4 – 75%
TBR: 1/4 – 25%

Last July is when I started sharing which audiobooks I spent my Audible credits on, so I finally have something to look back on! I got 2 new audiobooks in July 2022, but have I listened to both? Let’s take a look.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes – Suzanne Collins
read
Just like yesterday’s post this was another one where I got influenced by something I saw on TikTok haha. I love the Hunger Games and after seeing a couple videos talking about the prequel and the parallels with the main story I had to dive in. And I had to watch the movies again haha. This was an enjoyable read and I’m excited to see the movie.
A Master of Djinn – P. Djèli Clark
unread
I’m a bit ashamed that I haven’t listened to this one yet. The novella and short story in this world were amazing and I’m pretty sure I’m going to live this one. I did start the audiobook at some point but with the magic system it was a bit to difficult. Most of the fantasy books I go though via audiobooks are rereads or low fantasy stories. But since I’ve listened to a lot more since then, I should probably give it another try soon!
End Result:
Read: 1/2 – 50%
TBR: 1/2 – 50%
So that’s our looking back at our bookhaul for this month! Have you read any of these? What did you think? Let us know in the comments!
