My June Wrap Up! 

Lord of the Rings is the only series that I put ahead of The Dark Tower. I have to say, it is so cool reading his other books that connect to the series. So Good!!!

Hi 👋 happy reading to you! I hope ur July reads are good too!! 🎥🦋🎼🎬

So awesome to hear about your Discworld journey. I did the same thing you're doing which is reading from publication order after reading a couple out of order!

Enjoyed this wrap up from you! I read The Priory Of The Orange Tree in June and loved it, heading back to WoT this month!

I also started Discword chronologically with 1 and 2 and I absolutely loved them! I don't get why so many think the color of magic is a bad book, it's one of my favorite of the series

In June everything I read were absolute BANGERS: *Fantasy* Dresden Files 12: Changes - Plus the short story "Aftermath" False Sun - R Scott Bakker (short story) *Historical-Fantasy* The Lions of Al-Rassan - Guy Gavriel Kay - Did I become a Kay stan? Yes I did cuz this beat Changes for my favourite book of the month. Strong contender for my book of the year. *Sci-Fi* Elder Race - Adrian Tchaikovsky (novella) - Well, I'm officially a fan now. Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegot Though sadly I am starting to get Fantasy series burnout so I'm gonna pause the Fantasy series I currently have ongoing for a while except maybe Long Price Quartet. But right now I need more standalones.

I read 6 books in June, which was better than I expected because one of those books was the Crippled God by Steven Erikson. It was pretty good. I also read Salem's Lot, Knife of Dreams, Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett and a book called Ariadne by Jennifer Saint. I can't decide if I like Salem's Lot or Crippled God for my book of the month.

I recently got The Gunslinger and I'm not sure when I'm going to start it but I'm looking forward to reading The Dark Tower. Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Your description of it vaguely reminded me of a sci-fi series I'm reading now called Deathstalker. It takes sci-fi tropes and dials everything up to 11. It's nuts!

I wasn't a huge fan of the first two Discworld books either as opposed to Mort and Guards Guards. I hope you enjoy Wizard and Glass next month Alex- great wrap up. I need to get to The Gentleman Bastards soon.

Glad you enjoyed the wastelands it's one of my favorite books in the series 😃

I felt the same way about RSURS but I'm still wanting to read Republic of Thieves. I started Crown of Swords, but the audiobook got returned to the library. It just showed up again so I'm going to try to finish that in July.

I get what you are saying about the Dark Tower books Not being encassed inside one book. I still think out of all them (except the last one, cause I am not done) I still think the Drawing of the Three was my favorite cause it felt like you got some resolution. I think the wolves of the Calla is similar. Plot points are still moving, but there is a whole story inside of it. I didn't care for the fourth one, so I am curious to see how you like it, though I think my opinion is pretty unpopular.

I think in one of the author notes in the dark tower, King mentions it took a lot out of him to focus on the dark tower story. Good observation on that bc you’re right it is unique! I’ve been reading Junji Ito’s manga. Uzumaki is my fav of the three I’ve read so far.

Wastelands is my favorite dystopian book I've read so far. Just came back to the Dark Tower and read Wind Through The Keyhole.

My favorite books in june are Dolores Claiborne by Stephen king this book is definitely one of kings best work i also rewatched the movie adaptation and it still holds Over the top by Johnathan van ness their memoir They never learn by Layne Fargo this book definitely reminds me of films like promising young women M.f.a starring Francesca Eastwood and ms. 45 starring zoe lund

In a lot of ways Red Seas Under Red Skies is my favourite of the three but if we're talking in terms of how it's paced, easily my least favourite of the three though I was grateful Lynch was less reliant on flashbacks.

I started in on Discworld in what's apparently publication order, and I've been having a great time with it. I've been going through the old audiobooks with a very dry, British narrator, and I feel like it suits the writing superbly. Favorite read in June was absolutely Starfighters of Adumar. Possibly now my favorite X-wing book.

I've tried Discworld over and over and over and never made it past ten pages before giving up. I guess the style isn't for me. I really wish it was!

Here's what I read in june Dolores Claiborne by Stephen king Over the top by Johnathan van ness their memoir Small fry by lisa Brennen jobs Will by will Smith his memoir The fires of heaven by Robert Jordan She gets the girl by Rachel lippincott and alyson Derrick Paybacks a witch by lana Harper Realm of ash by tasha suri The pariah by Anthony ryan Nettle and bone by t kingfisher The invisible life of addie larue Shadows edge by Brent weeks They never learn by Layne Fargo Shipped by angie Harmon This woven kingdom by tahereh mafi Homeland by r.a salvatore

In June, I've finished The hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy, Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling (ended up to be the favorite of the month), Games of state by Jeff Rovin ans started Patriot Games by Tom Clancy (I think it will out there in the fav pile for July)

YAAAAAAS which Baldur's Gate did you play? And same with pirates and seafaring....just not my jam
