What books/comics/mangas etc. Did you read in June?
Kept it pretty lowkey in June, read only two books: Loop by Koji Suzuki (3rd book in the Ring series) and Osamu Dazai’s recently translated The Flowers of Buffoonery.
I got sucked back into One Piece, the anime I sorta dropped, put on eternal hold
So I figured I’d start the manga and give it a go, it’s much more enjoyable ^^
I read the Cradle series by Will Wight. Lots of fun! Interesting magic system, fun progression as the main characters get more and more powerful through the books.
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
- The Boys from Biloxi
Michael Connelly:
- The black box
- The concrete blonde
- The last Coyote

Hopped around a few different genres but really enjoyed all the books I read in June:
- The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent
- The Strange by Nathan Ballingrud
- On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
- Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman
I read the Broadbent one! How did you like the second book compared to the first? I feel like the one thing that kinda fell flat is that every fight was described as the hardest fight ever, so when the last battle came the author was just rehashing those same descriptions.
Still, I enjoyed the story, and those books were far more well-written than most in the Romantacy genre.
I really enjoyed it! I’m not sure I liked it as much as the first one, I think the pacing in that one for me was a little bit better, but am excited to see what Broadbent writes next in that world. I’m newer to the Romantacy genre (have only read the ACOTAR series and Fourth Wing) but have already had a lot of fun with the books I’ve read so far.
I’ve re-read the first Harry Potter. It’s been so long since I last read it. I felt that it really wasn’t poorly written. Sure it’s a children’s book but i looked reading it. And I’ve started reading flatland
Are there people out there that say it’s poorly written? That’s just not the case at all. It’s a very well-writte book, and that really does help when you dive back in to re-read it after a while.
