You can’t outrun love. Taylor and Marianna were each other’s whole world – best friends, running partners, practically sisters – until Marianna moved away and Taylor promptly ghosted her. When the former best friends turned rivals end up on the same cross-country team three years later, everything is a competition… and a reminder of old feelings, as well as blossoming new ones. Marianna runs because she’s angry. The oldest child of a single mother, she knows all about responsibility – for her siblings, at her part-time job. She just has to stay focused and be faster than the past nipping at her heels if she wants to secure a new, brighter future. With or without Taylor. Taylor runs to prove herself. The only child of a Division 1 athlete, she’s no stranger to high expectations. With enough effort, she knows she can immortalize herself with a state record and make her parents proud. Then, she can discover her own passion. She definitely doesn’t have time to untangle her feelings towards Mari. Can this pair figure out a way to work together before their past catches up with them?

I don't know exactly what I'm gonna do yet (I KNOW it doesn't have to be the same every week. But my brain does not! It likes routines!), but today I've got my June wrap up and a look forward at some books I hope to pick up in July. (Books marked with a \* were gifted to me and books marked with a ^ I was paid to read.)\\ \\ For June reads, it's no surprise that all my faves (starred) were books I read for Pride Reading Bingo.

(Ish...you know how that mood reading life goes.)\\ \\ \\ \\ **MOSS'D IN SPACE\* - This is the July Found Family Book Club pick!**\\ \\ CHAOS\* - This space romance series is a fave of mine and I've been saving this latest installment for when I needed a treat.\\ \\ MAKE ME BETTER\* - Gailey is a fave author and normally I would have gobbled this up by now but for some reason I thought it was a fall release and therefore I didn't prioritize the ARC. Whoops!\\ \\ BLACK SALT QUEEN\* - I've been meaning to read this fantasy about royalty, romance, and betrayal for awhile and the sequel recently came out so I better get to it!\\ \\ I LOVE YOU DON'T DIE\* - I'd intended to read this for Pride Bingo and didn't get there. I adored Song's debut CHLORINE and am looking forward to more of that.\\ \\ THIS PRINCESS KILLS MONSTERS\* - Another Pride Bingo fail. I've been very into cozy, comedic fantasy lately so I'm ready to wrap myself up in this one.\\ \\ OUT OF STEP, INTO YOU\* - The last of my Pride Bingo intendeds. I thought Burch's debut YA novel a few years ago was seriously underrated, so watch out for me yelling about this one soon.\\ \\ **Books I'm carrying over from June:** My current reads are Love In A F-cked Up World by Dean Spade and Coldwire\* by Chloe Gong.\\ \\ **Other miscellaneous July reads:** I run an in-person book club that reads spicy books and I our July pick is The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, which will be a reread for me. I also read the first chapter of Murder In The Dressing Room\* by Holly Star yesterday. There will be other audiobooks because I can't commute without them, but I haven't picked any yet.\\ \\ Is that a packed enough TBR for you or what!\\ \\ Join for free or login](https://caseythereader.binderybooks.com/item/RjgobKuiwId4ySBsPVwi/) [June Wrap Up + July Hopefuls](https://caseythereader.binderybooks.com/item/RjgobKuiwId4ySBsPVwi/) * * * 26 books 4 [ofpagesandprint\\ \\ Dahlia\\ \\ • Jun 26](https://ofpagesandprint.binderybooks.com/) Join for free [To continue the Pride Month celebration all year long, I wanted to share some of the amazing queer books on my TBR!
