This might be the best dedication I've ever seen.
pickI loved this "post-happily ever after" story about Cinderella's stepsisters. It's a feminist story of finding your own happy ending instead of the one society thinks you should have. It's so different from other fairy tale inspired books I've read.

There was a pop up book shop at Bike in Coffee this morning. I bought the tagged book.
Waiting for a book reading and signing. Very excited for this book!

Seems like everybody has done or is doing this. So consider yourself tagged if you want to play!
pickCaspian dramatically "died" when I leaned the book against him. ?
A fantastic collection of short stories. I enjoyed them all. They're dark and gritty and so very good.

Thanks for the tag @erinreads! Have you been tagged yet @annamatopoetry?
I think you all would appreciate my new tee shirt from Out of Print!
I never noticed this bench outside my library before. ❤️
My #BOTM picks! So happy they've been incorporating lighter titles into the selections since my brain is having trouble with more serious reads this year.
Ursula Vernon and Alan Steele during the GoH presentation. Ben Bova was sitting in front of me so bonus!
At Bubonicon and bought art and books.
pickI loved The Poet X and knew I had to read this one. It's in prose but still lyrical. Full of heart. I loved her first one more but this was still good.
pickI read this while I was in Vegas last weekend and it was super fun, quick, and cute. It made me really miss the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Also there's one rather steamy sex scene which I reached while in the shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel. 😳
My friend borrowed it and I didn't take a picture. So screenshot from #botm instead.
so-soI was all about a genderqueer Cinderella retelling. There was some really interesting plot points but it didn't quite come together for me. Also having Cyn end up with their stepsisters was a bit too close to incest for my taste.
Audiobooking at the gym.
New in! I'd honestly forgotten I'd made a #BookOutlet order. Whoops.

We're just going to ignore my massive #botm backlog to read and order more for August. Okay? Okay.
Also, Maryland girl here. I had to pick Well Met! So many fond memories of the Maryland Renaissance Festival. I miss it now that I live far away. 😭
My library books are due back Monday so cramming! I finished the tagged book (it was cute... 3 stars) and starting Girl Gone Viral tonight!

Audiospinning! I'm almost done with this audiobook and I am so sad. This book feels like an ending.
pickI loved this! It's a YA Roman Holiday retelling with a K-pop star and a paparazzi that had some surprising depth about happiness and following your dreams. I'll definitely be checking out her other books.
Keeping my hurt foot elevated and reading this Roman Holiday-inspired YA.
When your used book store has an environmental window display and half the books used to be yours. 😂
Blackout for #bookwormbingo! Thanks for sharing @EclecticReaders!
