Um… Oops! Yes, hello, it’s June and you are just now seeing April’s wrap-up because… I forgot. I had this in my “Drafts” but never scheduled it. I don’t know how or why that happened but hey… I gotta keep going with these!
Check out my previous wrap-ups and book hauls:

This theme might seem a bit vague but my interpretation is this: I immediately read a book and wanted more of either: 1) books within the same universe, 2) books by the same author, or 3) books with the same theme (i.e. enemies-to-lovers, childhood friends-to-lovers, dark fantasy, or the like).
So… Here we are. đ
Continue readingHappy June, friends! I can’t believe we’re practically halfway done with the year already. It hasn’t been a blazing 100 degrees where I live so I’m not quite convinced it’s summer yet. đ
I’ve got a few eARCs and physical ones to get through, which is a goal for June outside of reading queer books for Pride month!

When this landed in my inbox, it was the first time I’d heard of it. I was immediately drawn to the beautiful cover and I thought it would be a fun romp through a past summer with something a little more. …Well, I wasn’t wholly wrong but perhaps I went in with the wrong expectations?

This is my first foray into Stacey Lee’s writing, and let me tell you, she writes a story well! I’m eager to read her other works now and am a bit ashamed I waited so long to read something by her despite owning two of her backlist books.
Anyway, this post is not about feeling sorry for myself, so let’s move on, lol.

Look, yâall. My first Wibbroka book and I thought, âYes! Finally reading what everyone else has been saying are a great YA contemporary pair!â And the thing is⊠Maybe I just went into this one with a lot of expectation. Perhaps I should have started with their first book. Alas, I did no such thing.

Itâs really easy to participate: all you have to do is feature upcoming books youâre excited aboutâit doesnât necessarily have to release the next month. But for my own sanity, I try to feature books month-by-month.
Oh gosh, it’s been a few months since I’ve done one of these! It’s really a shame because I do love this weekly (monthly?) blog meme a lot. I fell of the train a bit back there but I’m trying hard to get back on and be consistent!
Anyway, here’s the past WoWs:
