June 27: Mid-Year Check-In
Prompts: Now that we’re halfway through the year, let’s check in! How has your reading year been so far? What reading/blogging achievements are you most proud of? Looking forward, is there anything you want to change up for the rest of the year?
**********
How has your reading year been so far?
I feel like I’ve read some really entertaining books this year so far. But I also feel like I’ve been reading way too much this year compared to last year.
What reading/blogging achievements are you most proud of?
I think I’m just proud that I’m keeping up with my netgalley arc list and on top of posting on my blog.
Looking forward, is there anything you want to change up for the rest of the year?
No, there isn’t anything I’m going to try and change for the rest of the year. I am finding making my monthly wrap up youtube videos kind of hard to keep up with. But maybe because I went on vacation this month and I’m trying to get back into the groove of things. I wish I was still on vacation!
June Topics:
June 2: Pride Month Book Recs!
Prompts: Happy Pride Month! To celebrate, we’d love to hear about your favourite LGBTQIA+ books, why you love them, and what books you’d recommend for a summer Pride reading list. Are there any new releases you’re looking forward to reading this Pride Month?
June 13: Traveling for Literature
Prompts: Many books are inspired by real-life settings. Have you ever visited places inspired by books you’ve read? What places are on your bucketlist? If you could visit any fictional setting come to life, where would you go?
June 20: All About Audiobooks (Jillian @ Jillian the Bookish Butterfly)
Prompts: Do you like to read audiobooks? Where do you typically get audiobooks? Do you have any favorite narrators, or platforms for listening to them? Do you find it easy to access audiobooks, or can it be more challenging compared to ebooks and physical books?

Past Midnight Book Reviews & More 
Great post!
I actually scheduled the Mid Year Freak Out Tag for today, unaware of this topic being this week’s LTB one!
I just had to double check when I posted my Mid Year Freak Out post also!
I wish I was still on vacation too! 🤭 But I think you’ve been doing an incredible job with posting on the blog — and posting so many reviews as well! It’s amazing! ✨ I hope the rest of your reading year is great, Yolanda, and that you discover many more entertaining books! Thanks for joining LTB this week 🙂
We love vacations! I have way too many July arcs 😅 which is why I have so many review posts. August will be quieter but I have a lot for September too! Wish they could have spread out the publishing a bit more lol…I barely have any arcs for November.
Wishing I was still on vacation😀😀. It’s so much better than real life
Yes! So much better!
