My Wrap Up:

This month my audiobook count was low compared to previous months because I had a business trip that got in the way of my normal listening. I still got through 7 audiobooks and completed two prompts.

Here is a link to this challenge shelf on Goodreads if you want to see all the reviews and the audiobook not featured below.

Finish/Start a Series in a Month

This month I listened to the Infernal War Saga by Hailey Turner. This was queer epic fantasy saga with magic, steampunk elements, siblings fighting for a throne, and over 20 POVs. It was amazing and I couldn’t stop listening once I started. I binged each of these in a day and a half.

My reviews for this series will be appearing on here next month, but if you want to read them now, check my Goodreads or StoryGraph.

Let there be Monsters 

For Let There Be Monsters, I ended up finishing my reread of the Call of Crows series by Shelly Laurenston, which features shifters, gods, and crazy characters. I also read The Librarian of Crooked Lane which has magic.
