Weekly Update: June 25-July 1

    Hello hello! Somehow it's the weekend again and here I am posting a day late... It's been a really great week for me, though. I posted my first review in over a month, received a super exciting ARC request, and, more importantly, actually finished a book! I also got mostly caught up on my self-paced summer math course, which, let me tell you, has been much more difficult than anticipated. It's hard to keep yourself accountable with something like that! Stay motivated, friends.

    Let's talk about what I read this week! Unfortunately, I ended up DNFing the two sci-fi novels I was going to read. I did, however, get through Julie Otsuka's The Buddha in the Attic and gave it a whopping five stars. Check out my full review here.

    Next week I'm going to try and get in everything that I meant to read earlier in the month and didn't. Here's the books that includes:

• Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong

• I'll be starting this one today! I'm thinking it'll be a bittersweet kind of story, so I'm looking forward to it.

• Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

• My third AAPI pick, Everything I Never Told You, is about a Chinese-American family in 1970s small-town Ohio. It's received loads of awards and good reviews. I'm anticipating another four or five star review with this one!

• The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas

• I haven't read a true romance in quite a while, and this book is wildly popular on Bookstagram! I love the cover too.

    I'll also be starting Prodigy by Marie Lu, but I probably won't finish that one.

    In other tbr-related news, my July tbr is starting to come together, and it's looking exciting- a few ARCs, a romance novel, finishing the Legend trilogy, and starting Crescent City. Fun times!

    That's all I have for this week. Stay safe and healthy, my friends.

    Sending happy thoughts, good vibes, and chapters that don't end in cliffhangers!

Love,

Gurlaffe
