hello everyone! today i am going to be talking about all the books i read in june. i honestly didn’t read that many books this month, probably cause i started working for the summer so i’m just trying to balance it all. but, i still did read quite a few books, and i did like quite few books, which is really good honestly.
instructions for dancing by nicola yoon. this book comes out 4/5 stars. first off, thank you so much netgalley and penguin teen for an arc! but, honestly this book was just so cute and i honestly really really enjoyed this book. and the plot and the characters were just so well rounded and done so well, and also just having the dance was so well done i really liked it. and also just the romance was done so well and just it was so cute.
fat chance, charlie vega by crystal maldonado. i gave this book 3/5 stars. honestly this book had the potential to be good, but something was just missing from here, and like i think most of my problem was that the quality from the audio book was just so terrible. and like, there was just so much white noise, and it just annoyed the hell out of me. and i also feel like so much was happening, yet nothing happened. and also charlie was just so self centered it annoyed me.
fifteen hundred miles from the sun by Jonny Garza Villa. i gave this book 3/5 stars. thank you so much netgalley and skyscape for an arc of this book! honestly, this book just felt so long and slow, and i think it was probably since they had all this time were it was just time where they were just texting or dming each other. but, i also feel like the romance was just slow and i wish it was just better. and also more growth happened in real life and not so much just via text.
luck of the titanic by stacey lee. i gave this book 4/5 stars. honestly, the ending of this book was just so unexpected and it was just so insane i literally did not think it was going to play out that way whatsoever. but, this book was honestly so good and sad and it was honestly so crazy. i also think that this book had a little romance, which was honestly not the best plot point, but still good when it was here. and also just the whole family vibe was so amazing.
not my problem by Ciara Smythe. i gave this book 3/5 stars. this was honestly a good book and i honestly liked this book, but i feel like the whole book was very enemies to lovers, and i feel like the romance in here just didn’t work. since, i feel like they were enemies for so long, it just didn’t feel real once they actually got together and in the context it just did not make sense.
that weekend by Kara Thomas. i gave this book 3/5 stars. thank you so much netgalley and delacorte press for an arc of this book. i honestly wished i liked this book, since i feel like this book could have been so much better. but, also the whole incest could have been so much better if it didn’t happen. and i do feel like the romance in here was just so stupid and i wish they didn’t have it, but i guess the mystery was better.
hunting prince dracula by kerri maniscalo. i gave this book 5/5 stars. this was my third reread of this book, and i honestly loved it so much this time. like, i really loved thomas and audrey rose and their relationship and they were honestly so amazing.
twice shy by Sarah Hogle. i gave this book 3/5 stars. i honestly wished i liked this book more, but i feel like the best part of this book was just wesley’s social anxiety and it honestly made him seem so much more real than anything else. but, i also really liked the end of this book, like i feel like it wrapped up very well, but it was still very boring at some parts.
anyway, that is all for today! i honestly wish i read more books, since i had such a massive tbr, but i do feel like i’ve read some good books this month. but, i also think i will read more in july, which i think is going to be good.
