pickI did not realize this was part of a trilogy. So I read the last book first! This is a wordless picture book about a child who draws a door and escapes into an adventure. Her father goes after her and rescues her from some bad men. The background artwork throughout the book is beautiful and I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the trilogy.
pick#12Booksof2025 June / Book 6 : a short novella that packs a punch. Sounds like the author's newest novel too, so I guess I should go check that out!

An easy pick for June! Truly one of the strangest books I've ever read, but I was all in for this medieval sapphic cannibalism horror where one of the main villains is a crack in the wall. #12booksof2025 @TheEllieMo
pickI finished Fourth Wing today.
Dragon riding school. Confusing politics. Interesting characters. A good amount of spice. And the last page?
WOW. I‘m impressed!

#12booksof2025 Didn‘t have any best of the year books in June. I started the Soulless series on audio & loved it. Just a fun story with adventure & romance. I‘ve listened to 3 of 5 in the series & will finish it next year. @TheEllieMo
Mini book haul with a gift card I got for Christmas! One for business and one for pleasure 😁
The Great Lakes states have been battered with high winds, snow, sleet & freezing rain for the past two days but I‘ve been fortunate in not losing power and having a warm home. This pic is near me, on the southern shore of Lake Ontario where waves are currently at 35 feet. Looking out at the lake between two ice-encrusted posts. Photo from meteorologist Eric Snitl.
June‘s pick is Naomi Novik‘s collection of short stories! From an atmospheric dark fairy tale, to the short story that eventually became Spinning Silver, to Dragon Rider Elizabeth Bennet, there was not a single miss in this collection for me!
