Books I Read in June

I’m trying to get back into reading a bit more because I’m pretty sure I only read like 3 books last year, and reading is what helps inspire my writing. I thought it might be fun to share what books I’ve been reading plus a few of my thoughts on them, starting with the books I read in June.

Kate in Waiting by Becky Albertali

I really enjoyed this book at the beginning, but once I began to realize how the book was going to end, I started to like it a little less. Kate and Andy’s dynamic was really fun and their “communal crushes” was interesting, if not a little weird. I just hated that Andy had to lie to her while she was still crushing on Matt. I do like the way it all turned out in the end; it was just a little painful to get there (and not in a fun way).

Love, Creekwood by Becky Albertali

I’m going to be completely honest here and admit that I didn’t actually finish reading this one. I don’t know if it was because it had been so long since I read the other books or because I didn’t like they style. I usually really like epistolary-type books, so it was probably the former. I just couldn’t get into it because I didn’t feel very close to their story.

In Deeper Waters by F.T. Lukens

In keeping with being honest, I have to say that it took me over half the book to really get into it. It felt like the story was too slow at first and then too rushed. Tal and Athlen’s journey felt really drawn out without actually drawing me in, and once we got to the good part where Tal was back home and everything was happening, it felt like it all happened too fast. I really enjoyed reading Tal’s interactions with his family, and their dynamic was so well written; I wish we had gotten to see more of that. And more of Athlen getting used to everything on land. Altogether, I really liked the book; it just left me wanting more, and I’m not sure if that was a good thing.

One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus

I actually read this book a few years ago, but I decided to reread it before reading the sequel. The ending was a total surprise back then, which is what I really love in a mystery novel. It wasn’t as fun reading it the second time around already know how it was going to end, but it was interesting to go back and notice some of the details that I hadn’t before.

Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

I love mystery novels, and this one was no different even though I was a little hesitant about the premise of this story at first. The book had me guessing the whole time, trying to figure out who Sawyer’s father is, and I even loved seeing her make friends and all the new revelations along the way. I like the way this story played out, so I’m not sure if I’m going to read the sequel.

Husband Material by Alexis Hall

I absolutely adored this book, and you can read my more in-depth review in this post if you want.

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

I tried reading this book a few years ago, but I barely made it 100 pages in before it triggered me so bad that I couldn’t open the book again. Now that I’m in a much better place, though, I was able to pick up the book again and read it in its entirety. The slowburn of this story nearly killed me. I’ll admit that I didn’t really care for the adventure aspect of this book (which means I probably won’t finish out this series) but I was really interested in how Monty and Percy’s relationship would play out. It hurt me deeply every time that they would come together just to be ripped apart again, and the only thing that kept me reading was the hope for a relatively happy ending where they would somehow work past their differences and end up together. So, I was very pleased with how this book ended.

As a little bonus, here are some the books that I’m going to try to read in July:

Recent Books I've Read and My Ratings and Reviews on them!!

- An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

4.5/5

I want to start off by saying I love faerie stories and fae/human romances. This book was really good I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the writing style and characters. The romance was good too but I did feel like at times it seemed a little rushed and corny. I usually don't have a problem with corny but in this book it kind of erked me a bit (got over it relatively fast) but still. I did end up enjoying the romance though. I also thought the plot or certain characters would've been a bit different especially the prince. I was expecting more of an aloofness and for a longer time etc, also for some reason to I also expected him to have long hair. But all in all It was a really good read, and I do recommend it!!

- Love, Creekwood by Becky Albertalli

5/5

Beck Albertalli can't do anything wrong when it comes to writing. I have yet to come across a book of hers I didn't love. I breezed through this in one setting, not only was it a quick read but also a great read. I love revisiting the Simonverse. I love revisiting these character's. You know I was a bit worried I wouldn't know how to feel since the whole novella is told from the perspectives of everyone in email form but I loved that as well too. My only problem . . . . . . . . . . How could it end that way!!!!!?????? Was Bram excited?? I imagine he was but I feel he might also feel a bit guilty since Simon loved Haverford so much. It was left kind of open ended in a way ( I thought so in a way anyways) and I need more!!!!

- The House In The Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

5/5

First book I read of 2023 and wow what a wonderful surprise this was!!! I went into this book not quite knowing how I would feel about it or if it would live up to the hype or not!? But OH BOY DID IT. Ugggghhh it was soooo good, throughout the book I was giggling, smiling, tearing up etc. I didn't want the book to end, and I think that's why I waited a few days after starting it, to pick it back up and finish it. It really is a great read, I would love a follow up novel to this, there's definitely potential for one!! Fingers crossed the author will think about one later on down the road??!! 🤞I think it would also be a great pick for a possible movie adaptation. If it is ever made into one I think Cameron Britton (Hazel - TUA) would be perfect for Linus Baker. He's my perfect fancast anyways. And Cherry Jones as Helen. I don't know who I would want casted for the other characters yet though.

#bookworm #i went through a long period of time not reading anything and having a ton of unread books in my room #finally started reading again #not that anyone cares or not but i just wanted to post about it to have #an enchantment of ravens #love creekwood #the house in the cerulean sea #possible spoilers?! #short review #rating #my reviews arent the best but then again im just becoming slowly used to putting any kind of book review out there. #its a work in progress #becky albertalli #margaret rogerson #tj klune

When Women Were Dragons Summary:

Back in the 1940s women first started turning into dragons. A wonderful exploration on how women are repressed, exploited, manipulated and abused. Also they turn into dragons and also they always were dragons.

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Summary:

Straight people should have to come out too. And the more awkward it is, the better. Simon Spier is sixteen and trying to work out who he is - and what he's looking for. But when one of his emails to the very distracting Blue falls into the wrong hands, things get all kinds of complicated. Because, for Simon, falling for Blue is a big deal ... It's a holy freaking huge awesome deal.

Hi! Would you ever consider drawing any of Becky Albertalli’s characters? I would love to see Imogen and Tessa or maybe Bram and Simon and I think you’d do a spectacular job!

Hello there! I’m so glad you asked—I actually have drawn artwork of Becky Albertalli’s characters, but I’ve just been completely derelict in my duty to cross post it everywhere, which is negligent of me and another piece of evidence in the argument that someone else should probably be in charge of my social media accounts. Lol

Here is Imogen and Tessa from Albertalli’s amazing book Imogen, Obviously:

So, funny story about this artwork: I had received Imogen, Obviously as an ARC from Becky after I’d left a comment on one of her posts about how excited I was for this book—primarily because “the discourse,” as it is referred to sort of sardonically in the book, still messes with my head when it comes to my own bisexuality. The more public my life becomes, the more I find myself discomfited by questions like “Am I still allowed to be queer if I’m in a straight passing marriage?” Or “Am I queer enough if, when people see me on the street or bump into me in the check-out line at Safeway, they don’t see a semiotically-dressed bisexual, but rather a slightly overwhelmed working mom in a cardigan and a pair of early-2000s capris?”

As soon as the book showed up, I devoured it, and like, I just can’t remember a book that made me feel so seen. Imogen, Obviously tackles queer purity culture so thoroughly and yet so compassionately, that I immediately picked up my stylus to draw Tessa and Imogen (even though I technically lacked the time to do the image as much justice as I would have otherwise like to have done) then posted it to Instagram and Twitter.

And holy smokes, Becky liked this pic so much, she retroactively commissioned the image so she could give out stickers of it on her book tour. She also granted me permission to sell the print in my Etsy shop (it’s not there yet, but soon!). 🥹

So that’s the story you didn’t ask for but which I had to share—because it looks like we both have an appreciation for Becky’s work in common and because I would love to spend more time drawing Imogen and Tessa or anyone from the Creekwood Series. Thank you so much for the ask and for your kind words about my art! 💕
