Holiday Wrap Up

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.
