So this month was also another month where I didn't meet my average reading goal - another five novels read, though I was hoping to read six. However, June was a busy month at both work and outside of work (hello, birthday adventures). I am pretty proud, though, because we got to June 20 and I was just finishing up my second book of the month (The Poisoned City, which I struggled through a bit) - so I honestly thought I wouldn't even get to five, but I pushed through the end of the month and knocked out three more for a total of five for June. So, see below what I read, how I starred it and feel free to check out the full reviews if you haven't already.




*The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager ★★★★☆
POPSUGAR Reading Challenge Prompt: N/A
Brief synopsis: When Emma was 13, she got the chance to go to Camp Nightingale, or "Camp Rich Bitch" as many called it, and room with three older girls who took her under their wing. Then they went missing, all of them in Dogwood cabin except her. The girls were never found. Now, 15 years later, Emma paints them hidden in dark forests. She just can't seem to escape her past, especially once Franny - owner of Camp Nightingale - invites Emma back to the camp for a re-opening, where she can teach the campers how to paint. She goes back, because perhaps returning will help her find closure, or maybe help her figure out what happened to her cabin-mates. But something weird's going on at Camp Nightingale, and she wants to find out what before it's too late.
