I‘m trying something new by making a summer reads pile! So these are my picks for June and July. Will this work out? Probably not… but these are the books that I‘ve been itching to pick up and for some reason never do. So once I finish my current read, I‘ll be picking away at this!
pickI didn‘t particularly like Caraval, but I really enjoyed this one! A tale of seeking love with a slight Cinderella colour, with plenty of plot twists and an endearing anti-hero at its heart. The story is reasonably fast-paced and engaging, and Evangeline‘s voice is appealing and lively. The Magnificent North just oozes fairytale magic, and I‘m keen to see what happens next!
pickPatricia Briggs has a really compelling way of telling a story that I really appreciate — and this was no exception. An extension of the Mercy Thompson universe, this story hits the ground running and never really slows down. Werewolf politics, ancient history, dark witches, mysterious murders — it‘s all a rollercoaster that comes to a relatively satisfying conclusion. Will definitely read more in this series.
Lovin‘ this trilogy series!!! Lots of twists and turns and dire consequences for the main characters. Has me on the edge of my seat wanting to find if everyone will get what they desire before time runs out.
Listening to the #audiobook on #hoopla!
pickA short, delightful, and inventive trip back to the world of Holly Black‘s Folk of the Air series!
pickThis whimsical, warm-hearted, wonder-filled fantasy is full of found family, grumpy x grumpy romance, old spell books, the magic of home—and one conniving fox! Sangu Mandanna is a sorceress of cozy, steamy romantasy with heart and I will happily follow her to the warm hearth and unexpected lemon tea showers of Batty Hole Inn—and beyond!
pickThis is a soft pick only because the first 40% was rather boring. I bailed at that point but picked it up again. Glad I did. Loved the narrators in the audio book. I‘ll add the sequel to my wish list.
📷 Pic (not mine)is a Game of Thrones-themed pub in Scotland. This is how I imagined the village pub in the novel.
I started this expecting it not to live up to the hype, honestly. I'm 100 pages in and so far, I'm LOVING it.
so-so
