Windfall | Jennifer E. Smith

4/5 stars.

I couldn't really bring myself to give this book a poor rating, even though the later half of it was a bit hard to swallow. It's not terribly fun sitting through a book featuring a girl being unrequitedly in love with a guy who isn't good for/to her, with me shouting at her all the while to just move on. Otherwise, the characters were wonderful, the style was great, and the plot was cute.

A Million Junes | Emily Henry

5/5 stars!

This book took me entirely by surprise! As a retelling of Romeo and Juliet, I expected melodrama and a laughably avoidable tragedy. What I got was a heartbreaking look into the effects of long term grief and loss, set in a world filled with mysterious magic and well rounded characters, and a sweet romance to top the cake! I highly recommend this gorgeous book.

Flame in the Mist | Rene Ahdieh

3/5 stars.

A book with a lot of potential that was half baked. I wanted more about Jukai forest, the yokai, the members of the Black Clan, and more evidence that Mariko is actually as clever as everyone says she is. Even the style of the book suggests sentences were removed from it in chunks. Nothing is followed through with and everything, especially the romance, is rushed. Hoping the sequel is better.

5/5 ⭐️!

I originally meant to read this book and then watch the show but I think I'm good. Aside from Fahrenheit 451, this is definitely the most terrifying dystopian I've read.

Howl's Moving Castle is one of my all time favorite books, and the movie is one of my all time favorite movies! I can't think of one as better than the other. They are so unique and beautiful and fun!

"Who was this girl who thumbed her nose at two kingdoms and did as she pleased?" p. 36

The Remnant Chronicles is one of my favorite fantasy series ever! Fantastic characters, lots of tension, a gripping romance, mystery and adventure and magic! Someday I'll have to reread this series. Until then, I'll just admire these gorgeous covers.

Strange the Dreamer | Laini Taylor

"'The library knows it's own mind,' Old Master Hyrrokkin told him, leading him back up the secret stairs. 'When it steals a boy, we let it keep him." p. 16

If I were a book, I would be Strange the Dreamer. Everything I love was poured into this wonderful journey. It is this month's book club book, and I've already read it, but I am so excited to read it all over again.

EchoLogical Have you read the Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor? 7y
Wilderheart13 @EchoLogical I read the first couple pages and it didn't catch my interest. I've heard some people love and some people hate it, haha. 7y
EchoLogical @Wilderheart13 I love it so much! Lol. I have ordained Karou as my spirit animal so that I can call Akiva and Zuzana as my people. Lol 7y

Another beautiful June release! Now that this month is on its way out, I'm having fun looking back on the books that came out these past few weeks. I still need to read all of them. 🙈

So my dear friend Megu had to make a bargain with me. She would read Strange the Dreamer before any other book if I finally stopped procrastinating and finished A Court of Wings and Ruin. I'M SO SCARED. 🙈 But here I go, to finish this thing.

Two spies are tasked with making the same girl fall in love with them so they can report her secrets to the company that has kept them imprisoned their whole lives, but they end up falling for each other instead! I feel like this book had sooooooo much potential, but the dialogue was very wooden, making character interactions mostly unnatural and hard to invest in. That's my main complaint I think, but the worldbuilding was also a bit thin. 2/5
