Some bloggers review every book they read. Me? Not so much. I really have to feel like I have something to say about a book, for better or worse. And I have to feel like I can say that in more than three sentences.
This year, I've been getting into Gifs. I think Tumblr have something to do with that, but I rather not look too closely at it. Anyways, I've decided that at the end of every month, I'm going to sum up the books I read but didn't review using a gif.

So, let's begin!
1. Dark Currents by Lindsay Buroker (4 stars)
2. Whiskey Rebellion by Liliana Hart (4 stars)
3. Romancing the Duke by Tessa Dare (4 stars)
4. Unclaimed & Unraveled by Courtney Milan (4 stars each)
5. Scandal with a Prince by Nicole Burnham (4 stars)

I actually had a great reading month! Almost all the books I read were around 4 stars and highly enjoyable. They may have not been extraordinary and didn't make me want to review them, but I enjoyed every second.
How was your reading month?
