I have to say that June is off to a wonderful start. I was a little bit worried on how my reading would go because at the end of May I powered through The Stand. I really feared it was going to put me into a slump, but that was not the case! So far, I have not done such a great job at sticking to me June TBR, which you can view here:June TBR | 2019, but I am really enjoying the books I picked up. I even found a new favorite and might just end up in my top books of 2019. Only time will tell. Anyway, here are the books I have read so far this month!
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I wish I had read this sooner. The characters were fun, the story thought provoking in a way, and all around a great read I read within 3 days. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the works of the two authors, but also someone looking for an end of the world story with some interesting characters.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
re-read May 29th-June 8th/Spoilers Ahead
Just as intense as the first time I read it, things are starting to get very real and dangerous. The one thing that really stands out to me in this book is how each character reacts to the news at the end of the book. How The Order just jumps back into their ways so seamlessly. I also love that Harry gave the twins that money to start their shop, seriously heart warming after all the bad that has happened.
The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have to admit, I did not have very high hopes for this book. The main reason being I read The Scarlet Letter and hated it. I thought it was the writing style. Turns out it was just the story itself. I felt like this was very well written and I really enjoyed a bit of a peek into life during this time period, but also a look into a family and their home with a bit of a mystery at some points and a curse thrown in for good measure.
So I just started reading The Woman in the Dark by Vanessa Savage, which is my buddy read this month. I am really excited to see how dark this thriller/mystery gets. I feel like it has the potential to be a psychological thriller, but maybe also a ghost story of sorts? I am really looking forward to read more of it. Also, can I just say. I know we are not meant to judge a book by its cover, but that cover just makes me want to know what in the world is going on in this house!

I liked it a lot. I still have to write my review, but I gave it 4 stars. I wasn’t thrilled with the ending, but I’ll get into that if I can do it without spoilers in my review. But it was still really good and I recommend it. I really enjoy Katie’s writing and humor.

Oh wonderful to hear it got 4 stars from you. I will keep an eye out for the review. Endings are so important to me, if I don’t like the ending it tends to ruin it all for me. I wish that wasn’t the case.

It can definitely happen. This ending wasn’t bad at all. I just felt one thing was “fixed” too quickly. I would have liked a little bit more. But it was still a good ending for the book.

That is good to hear, but I can relate to feeling like something is fixed to quickly. Not enough to make you mad, but enough to make up unhappy about it.
