June’s Best Books:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Ariadne by Jennifer Saint<\/a>
    This is a book about Ariadne, a figure in Greek mythology. This tells her story, from a young girl to an older mother. I loved reading about her feelings and the way that she grew, both in personality and in her knowledge. She’s such a true character and I love the way that we also get Phaedra’s (Ariadne’s sister) view as well.
    <\/li>
  2. The Cursed Carnival and other Calamities by Rick Riordan<\/a>
    This is a series of short stories from the Rick Riordan Presents authors as well as Rick Riordan. Each character faces a problem and they work together to solve them. There are also little mentions of other stories in some of them and that just makes it so much more fun. I also really love the diversity in the books.
    <\/li>
  3. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo<\/a>
    This is the first book in the Shadow and Bone trilogy, the first series in the Grishaverse. Alina is such a brave character and I love the way she faces her problems. The fantasy element is perfect and I really like the way everything plays together. All the characters are well shaped and I can’t wait to read more about all of them in the next two books.
    <\/li>
  4. Drum Roll, Please by Lisa Jenn Bigelow<\/a>
    This is a book about family and finding your voice. I love how Melly navigates throughout the confusions of her life and the ways she overcomes her challenges. I also love the LGBT+ content and how it adds to the story. This is such a great book!
    <\/li>
  5. The Stolen Prince of Cloudburst by Jaclyn Moriarty<\/a>
    This is part of a series, but you can read each book like standalones. This book is about Esther, an often-forgotten middle child. I love the way the story is conveyed and how we get a great sense of who Esther is. I also really like the connections to the other previous stories. This book is so fun and I really enjoyed the humor and liveliness of the book. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
