5 Stars:
I finally got around to finishing A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas and I enjoyed it quite a lot. I have to say the ending blew me away completely. It has me very excited for the next book in the series. I am currently am in line to get it from my library so I can read it at the beach without ruining my copy.
4 Stars:
Another book I got to during the month of June is The Seafarer’s Kiss by Julia Ember. I read this short book in a single day and I was very invested in the main character. This is a LGBTQ+ retelling/twist between Ursula from the little mermaids childhood and Norse mythology. This book would have easily been a 5 stars, but there was a scene that happened between our main character and her love interest that made me a little uncomfortable. Even with that small scene I adored this book.
The first book I finished in June was It by Stephen King. This huge tome that is over 1000 pages was totally worth it. It was creepy and intriguing, it has me very excited for the remake that is coming out later this year.
Some of this book I loved, the other parts I did not enjoy at all. I enjoyed all the nods to other words such as Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and more. But, this book just rubbed me the wrong way sometimes. I just got angry at it, not at the characters. I found myself thinking, “Why? There was no reason for this!” Beginning is great, then ending is amazing, but the middle falls a little flat. If you can push yourself through the middle of the book you are golden!

Bookish Luna 
Omg, I love the cover of The Seafarer’s Kiss!
And, I reaaally need to start reading A Court of Thorns and Roses! Everybody’s giving 5 stars to this series!
I didn’t read much this month because I was travelling. Only 2 books: A Monster Calls,
by Patrick Ness (beautiful novel!), and Siege and Storms, 2nd book of the Grisha Trilogy. (I LOVE this series so bad!)
It’s always a pleasure to read your blog, Luna, so I nominated you for this award: https://audreywritesabroad.com/2017/06/30/keep-it-fresh-award/

Aw, thank you for the nomination! I read the Grisha Trilogy a while ago and really enjoyed the series. I actually gave my copies to a friend by dropping the books on her desk at work and saying; “You need to read this” and walked away. She came to me a week later and loved it too.
