										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>2024 is half over and my reading has been just as voracious this year as last. I have read 116+ books this year and I&#8217;m going strong. Readers will know I only read MM romance, so here&#8217;s my MM Romance reading progress for the summer.</p>



<p>I&#8217;ve struggled through several duds and reviews are linked below. I plan to write more here on Fae&#8217;s Journal because, full transparency: I am broke and have had a summer of massive expenses, most of them unexpected. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Affiliate Links</h2>



<p>So with that, I plan to blog and shamelessly put affiliate links in the posts when applicable. I don&#8217;t know if it will help or if anything at all will come from it but it&#8217;s worth a shot, and what&#8217;s the worst that could happen?</p>



<p>The links won&#8217;t be obtrusive and it&#8217;ll always be about something I&#8217;m actually interested in. I have enough varied interests that I can link a lot of different types of things and potentially get some clicks.</p>



<p>I&#8217;m also designing a <a href="https://blog.faeriebell.com/2024/07/11/blank-journal-for-daily-journaling/">blank journal</a> or two to Amazon to try and sell. Things are just hella expensive these days and I need to try and side hustle a bit.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MM Romance Reading </h2>



<p>So first things first. I&#8217;ve been reading so much and I read exclusively on the Kindle app on my phone, it&#8217;s just so much easier for me. I subscribe to Kindle Unlimited. It&#8217;s one of the best investments a heavy reader such as myself could make. There are so many books to choose from, especially within the genre I read, MM Romance.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reading Nicknacks </h2>



<p>With Kindle Unlimited, I have nearly unlimited access to reading material. I have been in the market to buy a <a data-type="link" data-id="https://amzn.to/4bwLUOx" href="https://amzn.to/4bwLUOx">remote scroller for my phone</a> (and there is the link I talked about before)! It&#8217;s annoying when when I think I click to the next page and my phone doesn&#8217;t turn the page. </p>



<p>A remote scroller could be the answer to this, and using it might make for a more fluid reading experience. I use <a href="https://amzn.to/4eZ9HJF">one of these neck pillows</a> (don&#8217;t judge, it&#8217;s awesome) to hold the phone in front of my face while I am lying down to read. The only drawback is constantly having to turn the page. Finding a remote scroller that worked would be a game-changer.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dud from Target</h2>



<p>I say that because I bought one last week at Target from the dollar spot and it didn&#8217;t work to scroll in the Kindle App, it took pictures remotely just fine which resulted in some funny candid pictures being taken while I was trying to turn the page on my book. I am not sharing those, lol. </p>



<p>Anyway, I have a few books to review in the coming days: the Murphy Brothers series by Spencer Spears, and an ARC I am reading of Fighting the Flames Within by Casey Morales. I have read so many more I&#8217;ll have to go back and post some reviews for.</p>
