My pick for June is Murder By Memory. I wish the next one was available. Also, Who Will Save Your Soul? was crazy fun and gross. I picked up The Stand again and that is most of what I read in June. Still not finished, lol.
pickFast read! Sci-fi cozy mystery with humor, warmth, and flair—I gulped this one down in one day. Love it and can‘t wait for the next installment of Detective Dorothy Gentleman.
pick(2017) Here's a quick delicious story about young Benoit Mandelbrot, hiding with his Jewish family from the mid-20th century Make Germany Great Again crowd in Vichy France. It's a magic realist story in which math is magic -- which my math-loving heart knows to be true
pickI love when McGuire gives us the in-depth dive into characters we've already been introduced too.
She not only writes epic adventures with well love characters, but she so fluently adds such hard topics that I'm always amazed by her brilliance.
Another dazzling addition to the series.
I feel like I need to re-read them all... again.
pickAbsolutely fantastic version of sleeping beauty. I really love when authors take an existing fairytale and completely turn it on its head.
Nevermind the astonishing amount of cat hair. Bastet has been rolling around.
pickAva and Jules have true emotional issues they need to work through individually before they can mesh as a couple. One is a highly anxious person, and the other is free spirit. I related to both. I try not to get on people's nerves, but my impulsiveness just throws that goal out the window.
Any author could write about the trials of working through the pain of young love, but Nino Cipri set their work in the multiverse. So clever and cute.
so-soFound this one a bit disappointing. The first novella was delightful but the second one in the book was hard to finish. It was long, dark and depressing. Very unlike the Last Unicorn and not for a young audience.
Hi. 👋🏻
This is my new favorite song (“Tickle Me Pink” by Johnny Flynn).
He sings, “When nothing goes right and the future‘s dark as night, what you need is a sunny, sunny day.”
AMEN.

It‘s even (tangentially) book-related! I came to the music by way of writer, Robert MacFarlane.
Check it out if you like folksy stuff!
