Hello everyone!
June was my best reading month so far, clocking in at 11 books total – 7 graphic novels, 1 middle-grade, and 3 novels.
The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West. I LOVE Kasie West so I wasn’t surprised when I got completely obsessed with this story and the characters. Definitely recommend.
Save the Date by Morgan Matson. I really, really wanted to love this book but it was just a major snore-fest. I received an eARC of this book. Review here.
Lone Star Unicorn by Sloane Meyers. I really only read this to fulfill Book Battle criteria. Better than expected.
Riverdale volume one. Read this for Book Battle too. About as good as the TV show so…not great.
Sink or Swim (Whatever After #3) by Sarah Mlynowski. I really love this MG series but I found this one a bit less exciting than the others. Still a good read though!
The Stereotypical Freaks by Howard Shapiro. I received a digital copy of this book to review (it was released in 2012 but they want more reviews). I enjoyed it but I found the dialogue to be super irritating and juvenile. Review here.
Breaking Up is Hard to Do…But You Could’ve Done Better by Hilary Campbell. This was also a digital copy for review and I quite enjoyed it. I found myself chuckling at bits and feeling sad by other parts. I almost gave it 4 stars but I feel like there were problematic pieces that I couldn’t get past.
Sharky Malarkey by Megan Nicole Dong. I LOVED THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL SO MUCH. I want everyone to read it. I laughed so much throughout. There were real, relevant messages in with the hilarious drawings, and I thought it was beautifully done. (I received an eARC and I highly recommend everyone buy it when it comes out.)
Please Don’t Grab My P*ssy by Julie Young, Matt Harkins, and Laura Collins. I’m down for anything that has to do with what a disgusting person Tr*mp is, but this was disappointing. I thought it was boring and didn’t make me laugh or change my life in any way. But it was hella short, so whateves. Good boost for the GoodReads challenge. (I received an eARC.)
Lies we Tell our Kids by Brett Wagner. I…didn’t have any expectations but I was still somehow disappointed? I just thought this was highkey problematic and kind of gross. (I received a digital copy for review.)
Sister BFFs by Philippa Rice. I received an eARC of this and I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it. I was underwhelmed and pretty annoyed at the amount of bickering between the sisters. I guess sibling rivalry is funny to some people, but it’s definitely not my kind of comedy.
