Books read in June
Jul. 1st, 2022 11:16 amA sapphic book: Crier's War by Nina Varela (May 29-June 1)
Two books set in twin towns, aka "sister cities" (1): The Ghost Ship of Brooklyn: An Untold Story of the American Revolution by Robert P. Watson (June 2-6)
Two books set in twin towns, aka "sister cities" (2): The Fire Court by Andrew Taylor (June 7-12). I really liked this passage: "She was lying on her back, she knew, on her own bed in her own bedchamber. If she opened her eyes she would see the canopy above her, blue and silver, silk embroidery; the bed was in its summer clothing; the winter curtains and canopy were made of much heavier material..." OMG the bed was in its summer clothing!! Love it haha
A book with a palindromic title: One by One by Ruth Ware (June 13-16). It was pretty obvious who the killer was, but still an intriguing locked in mystery!
A book with a tiger on the cover or "tiger" in the title: The Burning Page by Genevieve Cogman (June 17-22)
A book whose title begins with the last letter of your previous read: Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson (June 23-26)
A book with a misleading title: I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid (June 27-28). What a twist at the end!
A book with a character on the ace spectrum: Artificial Condition by Martha Wells (June 29). OMG I love Murderbot, it is so funny and relatable ("interacting meant talking, and eye contact. I could already feel my performance capacity dropping." Yup :P). Murderbot said it had "less than null interest" in sex, so it is definitely ace :P
( the topics )
I think this was my best reading month in a long time! I'm definitely not enjoying covid (too much coughing!!), but it has been good for reading. :P I wish I could at least go on my balcony, but the smoke has been too bad for that. I'd hate to see what covid is like without being vaccinated. D: I just have to keep thinking "stick it," like Cherry..that usually makes my resolve stronger lol
30. Do we control technology or is technology controlling us? Both lol
July 1. We're halfway through the year (give or take a few days). What are you looking forward to in the coming months? The fair, Golden Days, etc
