July 2025 Wrap-Up

July by far was probably my best reading month this year. It was nice to be on break from school and just read for pleasure. In July I re-read Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and finally picked up the sequel, Iron Flame. I did really enjoy both and was happy to be in that world. 

Another memorable read was One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune. It is a sequel to Every Summer After, which focuses on Charlie. Carley Fortune is definitely a favorite author at this point. I have read all four novel that she has out, and I am looking forward to re-reading them in summertime.

Finally, Rose in Chains by Julie Soto was surprisingly good. This book started out as a Drameone fanfic. I personally never shipped Draco and Hermione so was not sure if the book would work for me. I had a great time reading it and now, a month later, I still think about it. I will definitely be reading the sequel and am already looking forward to re-reading it. I would say the rest of the books I read were just OK and not worth a separate mention.
