OK, I am very behind on all reviews as I read this book in May but never reviewed it & just finished the second book in the series that I was reading for June‘s #Roll100

Overall, I liked this book although it could be shorter. I also for some reason thought it was lighter/more humorous (not sure why) & it‘s pretty dark. I didn‘t like the ending but it did make me read the next book. I did like the LGBTQ representation.

Stopped at page 38 - tried to give it a go longer, but was not enjoying. Been on my shelves for far too long, so I‘ll add this to the donation pile…off to find a new home. #roll100

Space opera with lots of battles and politics. I love the series.

This has been on my TBR for quite a while, and I finally picked it up on the recommendation of my teen. While it drags a bit in the middle, I did enjoy the connections to Chinese and Japanese history as well as the conflict between the desire for power and revenge and maintaining one's humanity (a theme that seems timeless and especially relevant in the US at the moment, especially the warning against dehumanizing one's opponents).

I FINALLY read this one that‘s been on my shelf for years. It was just ok. I had it figured out early on but it was a quick read and good enough to keep me reading till the end.

4✨ A family that is looking for religious freedom from a King that the parents already left their hometown for. We look at the preparation and more of the reason behind the dangerous journey before even starting on the Mayflower. Then the dangers and hardships they faced at sea. I liked the focus of their faith and more of a feel of what this might have been like from a child‘s POV. My issue with the book is it follows her brother John not her.

This started strong but at the 40% point it is feeling very repetitive, my mind is wandering and I‘m just bored. Also the love interest is just blah. DNF #hailthebail also a #roll100 off the TBR

So, I‘m very behind in reviews for June & procrastination has continued its hold on me but until I get them done, here‘s my June recap. Work, life, a dead Kindle & family visits mean I didn‘t get as much read as I wanted, but I ended up finishing 12 books + 3 more in process.

I did manage to finish books for #SundayBuddyRead #NancyDrewBR #EBBR #BobWhiteBuddies #FictionalTravel #SeasonalCozies #CampLitsy2025 #AuthorAMonth & 2 #Roll100 books ⬇️
