My June-July wrap up
Date: 02.08.22
Last two months I haven’t focused on reading. But I read a total of 12 books in those two months. There are some books I absolutely love and some I just like. ( How I give my rating)
My wrap up (June) list:
- Just a bit wrecked
- Cinder
- The gravity of us
- Headcase
- Given vol I
- King of Iron Hearts
Just a bit wrecked by Alessandra Hazard
Quote: “I’ve been out for nearly twenty years, Drew,” he said quietly, looking at his car. “I’m not going back into the closet for you—for anyone. I’m not going to be your dirty little secret and live a lie while you act like we’re nothing to each other in public. I’m too damn old for this shit.”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cinder by Marie Sexton
Quote: “Cinder.” Except that wasn’t technically correct. Cinder was my surname, and it was what my aunt and cousins called me. Nobody called me by my first name. “Eldon.” He raised his eyebrows at me. “Well, which is it?” “It’s Eldon Cinder.” “It’s wonderful to meet you, Eldon,” he said. “I’m Augustus Alexandre Kornelius Xavier Redmond.” He laughed. “But you know that now, don’t you?”

The gravity of us by Brittany C. Cherry
Quote: “Feel less.” I breathed out. “Don’t allow others to drive your emotions in such a way. Shut it off.” “Shut off my feelings?” I nodded. “I can’t,” she argued, still crying. Her hands fell over her heart, and she shook her head back and forth. “This is who I am. I am the girl who feels everything.” I could tell that was true. She was the girl who felt everything, and I was the man who felt nothing at all. “Then the world will do its best to make you nothing,” I told her. “The more feelings you give, the more they’ll take from you. Trust me. Pull yourself together.”

Headcase by Onley James
Quote: Asa smiled. “I keep my thinking thoughts to myself.” “Your what?” “Noah says, ‘Those are thinking thoughts, not speaking thoughts.”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Given vol 1 by Natsuki KizuQuote: “IF YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF IT, WHY DO YOU HAVE A GIBSON SEMI.”

King of Iron Hearts by Giana Darling
Quote: “My best friend didn’t speak with words But everything he ever told me With his eyes and his actions Taught me I was worthy of love.”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

- Just a bit Shameless
Stolen heir by Sophie Lark
Quote: “I was a corpse when I met you, Nessa,” he says. “No breath. No heart. No life. I felt nothing. I cared about nothing. Then I saw you, and you woke me up inside. I was such a fool at first. I was so numb that I thought that spark must be hatred. If I was a normal person, I would have realized it was love. Love at first sight. From the second I laid eyes on you.” He takes the ring out of the box and holds it up. The diamond sparkles as brightly as ever in its antique setting.”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bound by Honor by Cora Reilly
Quote: “Love is something girls hope for when they don’t know better, something women long for when they lie awake at night, and something they’ll only ever get from their children. Men don’t have time for such notions.”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sweet Temptation by Cora Reilly
Quote: “I hugged Daniele tightly to my chest, not sure why he needed my closeness but more than willing to give it to him. “Mom,” he whispered. I froze. Cassio tensed, his eyes tumultuous as he watched. Was Daniele thinking of Gaia? Missing her? I pulled back slowly. Daniele looked down at my chin. “Can I call you mom?” I choked and tears sprang into my eyes at his unexpected request.”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ivan by Sophie Lark
Quote: “I always wanted a brother. Now I have too many to count. And I have something else—a man who makes my heart clench up every time he walks in the room.”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover
Quote: “I don’t have to know anything about your past to know you’re a good person. I can tell by your actions. I can tell by the way you treat me. Why would it matter what kind of family you have, or how rich you are, or what the people in your past meant to you before I showed up?”
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just a bit Shameless by Alessandra Hazard
Quote: “He felt a weird pull towards the boy, a base need to have him that wasn’t sexual. Sammy had a unique ability to make him feel fond, amused, fiercely protective—and possessive.”
