june reading wrap up 

I love your reading wrap ups so much! You articulate your thoughts so well. Much love, have a fabulous July! Xx

yesssss ❤ someone who also didn’t enjoy Powerless! It was so overhyped.

definitely give happy place and funny story a go by emily henry! i haven't read beach read, but book lovers felt quite lacklustre for me compared to happy place and funny story! would be interested to hear your thoughts

I think you should read Letters from a Stoic by Seneca. It’s a philosophy book but it’s not very long at all and super easy to understand. It also rly suits ur vibe which is why I’d recommend to u. It’s just a rly eye-opening and introspective book which left me feeling super peaceful after every read 😊

Oh my god, that's exactly how I felt about Powerless!!! I couldn't continue reading it after 150 pages, I got too annoyed over the same thing being over-explained in two different POVs, and when I got to the name of the elites in the trials, I couldn't move on!! Like the main character is Paedyn, but then the rest are called John and Brian? Pls!! Put some effort in! I am not a fan of Emily Henry, I read People We Meet on Vacation and really disliked it, and I couldn't get myself to try any of her other titles. I think there's like 6 so far now, and I did hear that Book Lovers is the best one, so I am tentatively intrigued (some point... in the future). If you want more neuro-divergency (and chronic illness) representation in romance books, then I recommend Chloe Liese - particularly her Bergman Brothers series. I think she does things very respectfully and kindly, and the books hit the right mixture of funny and steamy, while not relying too heavily on typical romance narrative tropes. Hannah Bonam-Young is one of my newest favourite authors in that department as well, and her romance is sooo realistic and so loving and swoony (it features some heavy topics though!).
