oh man, so many favourite things.
Wow! This month was actually surprisingly good. A few review books in there, and then some books that I picked up on a whim and ended up adoring! For more info on the ones I reviewed, please click the links above :)
A few of the books that really took me by surprise were Nevernight by Jay Kristoff, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, and The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. I also adored Meadowland but I kind of expected to! The Essex Serpent I bought because quite a few of my favourite booktubers were singing its praises, and I felt like something a little different. It took me a while to really get into it, but it was so interesting and delightfully weird at times that I found myself completely drawn in. Nevernight I picked up at a store randomly - I originally decided not to buy a copy because Kristoff's Stormdancer books had kind of fallen a bit flat for me. I am so glad I changed my mind, though, because I absolutely adored Nevernight. It was so engrossing and fantastical, the character voices were fantastic, and even weeks after I have finished it I am still thinking about it. Finally, Six of Crows. This one was recommended over and over, but I wasn't sure. The sample on my kindle seemed alright but not amazing. And then I finally got my hands on a copy and absolutely gobbled it up. I am now among the thousands who are making grabby hands at the next book, due out on the 27th of September. (Huzzah!)
the first BookBathBox ever! I can't wait for the next one...
What are you reading at the moment? I am reading The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George partly because my mum lent it to me, and partly because I needed something a little softer and more lyrical to smooth my way into Spring. Do you have any books that make you think of Spring? Love to all who read!
