Here are my top picks for July!
- 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! - 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! - 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! - 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! - 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!
