As I did a separate holiday TBR I thought I would do a separate holiday wrap up too. Also, this way my monthly wrap up shouldn't be as long as it would be if I put everything together. So lets kick off with all the books I read whilst I was away.
I was away for two weeks and whilst I was there I managed to read nearly 8 books! I'm really pleased with this as I felt that I managed to make a dent in the pile of books on my kindle. I managed to read 3 physical books and 5 kindle books, 3 of which were NetGalley eArcs. So overall a really successful couple of weeks reading! I have listed the summaries below from highest rated to lowest rated. I aim to review all the books I've read so I will link them alongside once I have done so.

Review - to come
I actually finished this one when I got back but I got about 75% of the way through when I was away so I'm counting it.
So there we have it these are all of the books I read whilst I was away. Which ones have you read if any and what did you think? I would love to discuss these with you in the comments.
all new to me books - thanx for the post
ReplyDeleteThe only one I've heard of before is Ready Player One. I'll have to look into some of these.
ReplyDeleteI read some pretty good thrillers so if that's sometime you like to read then definitely look them up 😊
DeleteHide and seek and I know where she is look like intense thrillers!
ReplyDelete8 books in two weeks is really impressive! Sounds like a great vacation.
