This is the second part of my reading over the summer. Hip hip hooray for the end of summer! Reading Stats for July This month had some really good books for me.  Books Read in July 2025   The Survivor Wants to Die at the End  by Adam Silvera ★★★★★ This was a good addition to the story so far. I wish that the book they kept referring to was real!    Dear Hero  by Hope Bolinger ★★★☆☆ This story was told through text messages. It was fascinating that they kept texting different group chats and creating new ones constantly. Cute story.    The New Recruit Vol. 01  by Moscareto ★★★★☆ I love a good manhwa. I'll eat it up every time.   The Infinity Courts  by Akemi Bowman ★★★☆☆ Interesting concepts but the internal struggles in Nami got old real quick.   When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Kelley ★★★★★ I want to read this again for the first time. Historical, romance, and fantasy all in one....

I am on a quest to Read and Reduce my TBR list! I will pick out a few books at a time to give my attention to and decide if my passion for the book burns bright or has fizzled out.
