I'm officially on vacation!
I love anything related to mermaids, pirates, and sea life! Plus there's glitter on the cover so...
My last book for the #summerflingread in the category of Beach Read (we classified that loosely as a regular Beach read or one where stuff takes place in the sea or on the beach).
Feel free to join the Life & Lit Facebook book group. We're currently voting on the August book!
pickHmmm... 3.5/5 ⭐
It's a solid divergent+hunger games mash up but it's by no means original.
I wish there would've been more of a development of the government + plague cover ups. The content of it that did exist was good but kept getting overshadowed by the romance. The romance was underdeveloped and super insta-love (which I hate). I also wished for more time spent comparing the poor groups vs. the government + the protests.

Switching to this for the Star-Crossed Lovers category of the #summerflingread challenge. It's been on my TBR for like a year. I really liked Lu's The Young Elite but everyone says this series is better so I'm very eager to start it.
I desperately want to reread this one so I am using it as my Star-Crossed Lives category for the #summerflingread. Sadly, a co-worker is currently borrowing my physical copy so I'm audiobooking this one! I'm curious how or if the novella Wandfasted will influence this one.
On to my next read for the #summerflingread
My book for the Online Romance category of the #summerflingread challenge.
Finished number 4! Only 3 left to go!
✔️One True pairing: Alex & Eliza
✔️Decade Old: Good Omens
✔️Friendship Goals: The Raven Boys
✔️LGBTQ+ Romance: The Seafarer's Kiss
I've enjoyed all of them but The Raven Boys has been my least favourite
Up next is probably Online Romance: Life in Outer Space

Day off work? Beautiful weather? Nagging dogs?
Reading time in the yard
This cover alone is enough to give it a go but I'm also reading it for the #summerflingread challenge in the LGBTQ+ Romance category
Challenge is being run by the Life & Lit Facebook book club with @NovelDescent @howlinglibraries and @Conqueringpageswithtea
so-soI was quite underwhelmed by this book. It was hyped so much and it fell so flat. It picked up near the end and there's good potential for the sequel (which I will give a chance). I have a really hard time saying a book is good because the very end gets interesting. By the time things started picking up, I was just exhausted with the characters. Just wanted it to finish up. Even the magic was written quite boringly...
