Daughter of the Pirate King (4) & Daughter of the Siren Queen (4) – This was a fun, quick series to read while I walked on the treadmill in July.
Iron Rose (4) – O’Bryan’s debut Beauty and the Beast retelling was fantastic.
House of Flame and Shadow (4) – I did not have high hopes for this but I ended up being entertained.

4 & 5 Star Reads

When the Moon Hatched – This is definitely in the running to be my favorite book of the year. It feels like this year’s Fourth Wing.

Firefly Lane – Kristin Hannah destroyed me in the middle of the night while I was on vacation. I’d watched the first season of the TV series, but the book hits so much harder.

I was so excited to read two new High Republic releases in June, and I was fully immersed in When the Moon Hatched. Orlando, a Biography was my classic pick of the month. I finished listening to the Graphic Audio versions of ACOTAR with ACOSF this month. I read Tell Me Lies so I could then watch the TV series, but the book was way better. Almost all my reads this month were 4-5 stars, so it was a good reading month!
