Top Books of July

Here are my top picks for July!

  1. If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
    I really, really enjoyed this book. It was so beautifully written and I loved the prose. 10 years ago, Oliver was arrested for a crime he didn’t commit. Now, the detective who arrested him is curious for his side of the story. The book is mostly told from the lens of Oliver from 10 years ago, though we do get to see him in the future as well. I loved this book as well as the ending and I totally recommend it to you!
  2. Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
    This book was amazing and so well written, especially the world-building! Alex isn’t the average Dante for the Lethe society in Yale, but her ability to see Grays (ghosts) makes her the only option. The plot of the story was incredible and progressed quickly and with enough plot twists to fully capture the reader. It was an incredible story!
  3. The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich by Deya Muniz
    This was such a cute graphic novel and I loved the art style! I also loved the vibe of the story- everyone and all the kingdoms were named after different cheeses. Lady Camembert doesn’t want to marry, so she moves to a different town and disguises herself. But when one of the royals catches her attention, she has to keep up the disguise. I adored this book and I loved the ending! It’s a great read!
  4. Big Nate novel series by Lincoln Peirce
    This was another light read! It was the classic Big Nate comics, but in more of a novel style with a full plot. I loved getting to read through these books as they were super fun and light-hearted to read. I totally recommend these books for a quick and easy read!
  5. Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo
    This book was so beautiful and illustrated love incredibly well! It also tackled feeling out of place in a new land. I loved the different perspectives- one of Lily in the time period of the book, one of her mother/father, and one of her aunt. It was so nice to read and the ending was very well written! I really enjoyed this book!

My Top Books of June

  1. I Was Born For This by Alice Oseman
    I really enjoyed this book! Angel’s whole life revolves around The Ark, an insanely popular band. Jimmy used to love being in the band, but recently everything is just overwhelming. The two meet by chance at first, but eventually they learn from each other and find new lives. I really enjoyed this book!
  2. Improbable Magic for Cynical Witches by Kate Scelsa
    This book was so cute! Eleanor isn’t used to being happy or having good things, especially after what happened last year. But when she meets Pix, she finds herself being open to a new life with magic. This book was so sweet and I loved the plot and the characters!
  3. Basil and Oregano by Melissa Capriglione
    This book was gorgeous! I loved the illustrations as well as the plot. Basil is such a sweet character and incredibly relatable! I loved learning about her adventures in (magic) culinary school as well as her adventures with her friends. It was a great book!
  4. Big Nate books by Lincoln Peirce
    Recently, I’ve been reading more relaxed/not as serious books and the Big Nate series is one of my favorites! Nate is just trying to have a fun time- at school and with his friends, but something tends to go wrong…though he’ll have a blast along the way. It was a super fun read!
  5. Out of the Blue by Jason June
    This book was perfectly sweet! Crest is a merman and so, to fulfill their quest, they must go to Earth and help a human. Sean agrees to get Crest’s help and the two embark on a spectacular journey. I really loved the characters in this book as well as the ending. It was a great book!
