My TBR for June - I put a bunch of graphic novels on my list to start off the summer mostly. I‘m using the bisexual flag and I‘m excited because my hubby plans to come out as well to family on his birthday 🥰. We have a flag ordered for our house finally as well.

Happy opening day for #LLSGPS !

After crazy traveling for the past few days - a wedding out of town and then quickly back to my father‘s retirement party - I was happy to sit on my couch and open this lovely package from @TheAromaofBooks filled with so many fun goodies and sweet scents and two new books to enjoy over my summer break coming up! Thank you so much for swapping with me!

#litsylove @Deblovestoread

Deblovestoread Great box! Those books look intriguing. 3d
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! I hope you enjoy the goodies!!! So my phone ended up drowning this week while we were canoeing (whoops) so I can't take a picture of my package, but I love everything!! Thank you SO much!!! 3d
Bookgoil @TheAromaofBooks oh no! Sorry to hear about your phone! Glad you enjoyed your items!!!! 3d
TheAromaofBooks I haven't had my phone since Friday, and it's been oddly freeing 😂 But I am looking forward to having my pocket camera back!! 3d

Velvet Was the Night | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

I missed a book or two in this image and I can‘t figure out which ones 🧐. May is running away and I haven‘t even posted a wrap up of April. Not that I post much on here lately but I do like a good wrap up.

My faves in April would have to be Velvet was the Night, An Appetite for Miracles, and Unfamiliar just filled my little witchy needs.

Hope you all are reading some great books!

I prefer audio or print books, if I have to I will eread but it‘s my last choice. I use a lot of audio to do other things during my day. 🥰

@ozma.of.oz

Allylu I agree! I prefer audiobooks and print. It takes me forever to read an ebook and I like to crochet, do the laundry or dishes, or paint or sew while I listen to audiobooks. 😊💕📚🎧 2mo

The Scottish Boy | Alex De Campi
post image

Looks like I picked it up last month I read 27 books, a mix of graphic novels, manga and audiobooks!

My fave manga right now is Frieren not gonna lie, it‘s so fun and I love the characters.

Magical Boy parts 1 and 2 was amazing graphic novel wise, I loved the story, the journey Max took through it!
I also loved The Scottish Boy - it was very spicy!
Spell Bound - I love all of Lukens works!
A Strange and Stubborn Endurance
The Stolen Heir

Spell Bound | F.T. Lukens

Pickpick

If you love a good sunshine and grumpy duo this may be the queer book for you. I absolutely dove into Lukens new book knowing I would find a cast of intriguing characters and a plot that would pull me in. I loved how sweet Rook and Sun end up falling, the moments that really pulled them together in this book.
Definitely going to be one of my top favorite books of this year.

Not my most read in a month, I hit a little slump even with audio books, I had a bookfair going on and just felt like a busy month overall. Really enjoyed finishing off Sorry, Bro as well as A Wish Upon the Stars - cannot wait to dive into the short stories next 🥰. The Eidolon showed up in my mailbox and I had to read it and now I am dying for the next book in that series.

So a decent reading month just slower for me than usual.

Ocean's Echo | Everina Maxwell
post image

Sorry not sorry my first read of the year is the biggest best book of my month - I made a good choice. January was full of fun and interesting books I loved many more than just Ocean‘s Echo.

Crumbs Frizzy

Foul Lady Fortune

The Princess and the Scoundrel

The Keeper of Night was also amazing and I had fun rereading Little Thieves.

Different Kinds of Fruit

I read 28 books in January - my lowest number in a while but that‘s okay.

Soubhiville I will always buy Everina Maxwell‘s books. I loved this too. 4mo

Okay I‘m late like always. I had to pick 3 books for January because I read over 60 books that month and these were impossible to decide from. Heartstopper literally is so good - my fave GN series right now. So This is Ever After is such a perfect read - funny, romantic and queer and magical. Iron Widow was such a memorable read as well!
