Emma L Adams features heavily on my ereader at the moment though I haven’t actually tried any of her books. She always has great covers!
She sure has great covers and so far I enjoyed her books 🙂

I knew you read all these, of course, since I see the reviews, but wow, seeing them all together looks great. I’m doing pretty good on this particular challenge, too. It wasn’t supposed to be my focus for the year since I wanted to get to my older ones, but I’ve enjoyed the variety of the older and new releases to keep my reading interest.
Good luck with the next quarter, Lola.

That’s one of the reasons why I like doing these posts, all those covers next to each other look so great.
Glad to hear you’re doing good with this challenge as well :). I read some older books (18 to be precise) as well, but I think the majority was new releases so far.
Wow, you had a very productive 6 months Lola! And those new releases you’ve read sounds great, and the covers really catchy. I’m eyeing Emma Adams, I think I have one of her books in my TBR but I doubt if it’s Alight.

It’s great to see how many new releases I read these past 3 months.
I’ve read quite some of Emma L Adams’s books and so far enjoyed them all :).
WTG, on completing the new release challenge. Several look great. I’ve completed my goal for the New Release challenge as well and am close an many others. Have a great weekend!

I didn’t guess I would’ve completed it by now already, but I just go on and see how many more I can read :).
Nice you also completed this challenge already and are close to finish many others as well.
I’m close to completing a few of my reading challenges too. And, I’ll continue and see how many over I go. ^_^

It’s always fun to see how far you’ll get even if you already made your goal :).
Great job on the challenge! Faerie Hunt looks pretty good, and I thought Missing was a good read. The Summer of Bad Ideas looks fun too even though it’s a middle grade.

I am happy to be doing so well on this one. Missing was a good one. The Summer of Bad Ideas was a good summer-y MG read.
Great job! I’m really only paying attention to my Goodreads challenge and I’m doing great on that, so I’m excited.

I only joined this challenge, coyer and then the goodreads one. I think I am ahead on the Goodreads challenge so far :).
Nicely done! Hope you find some fun ones for the second half of the year!

Thanks :). I hope the second half year will bring some more good new releases.
Good for you on your reading challenges!!! So many books you have read, that is awesome.

It’s nice to look back and see how much I read so far 🙂

You got my book in right at the end! And I just realized, too, that I’m the only 5-star on the list. So honored. <3
S. J. Pajonas recently posted…Sunday Update – July 2, 2017
Yes I finished it just in time to still have it count for this month :).
And yes it’s indeed the only 5 star among these. I did read one other 5 star last month, but that wasn’t a new release.
I only gave a total of 3 books a 5 star this year so far :).
