“Mary Craven didn‘t think about death until the day it knocked politely on her bedroom door and invited itself in.”

Next up! This all-female retelling of The Secret Garden with and Indigenous perspective has been on my TBR for too long. There‘s a queer element too, making it the perfect June read.

Please share your favorite Summer read!!! Of all time or so far since Memorial Day!!
I have to say my reading choices have been stellar this season!

My favorite very Summer themed would be Jane Austen‘s goes to Hollywood and Elizabeth of East Hampton

I am currently about an hour south of Hollywood! I loved this version of Sense and Sensibility! A really fun retelling with some original storylines as well as still recognizable to Austen fans.

I've heard contrasting opinions about this book, but in the end l decided to get it.

I've read another book by Vo (Sirena Song), veereery strange. But l liked it for that very reason. So, let's see how it goes.

What do you think?
Have you read it?

I think this is my third reread. I love it so much. Narrator is so great

a different take on the classic Jane Eyre story.

As a fan of the original, I wanted to give this a go. It's interesting and funny at times. I personally prefer Jane on the original than this. She doesnt seem quite as strong. The plot is clever and a fun more supernatural twist on the classic. The ending was good if a little strange at the end but tied it off well. If I'm honest though I still prefer the original. 3*

The Women of Troy (Women of Troy 2), by Pat Barker (2021)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: As the victorious Greek armies are stranded by impossible winds and tensions rise in the camps, the enslaved women of Troy ponder what comes.

Review: I was blown away by the first book in this series, and the sequel did not disappoint. Cont.
