5. Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

Rating: 5/5 stars
Check out my review for this amazing book on Friday 31st May 2019!

From my ratings, you can tell I loved these month’s books quite a lot. If I didn’t enjoy them I would have dropped them really quickly due to my reading slump. If I could only choose one book to reread I would always choose Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston so do pick that up if you can 🙂

tbr: may/june 2019

I thought it would be most appropriate to begin this blog with hope. Hence, my first post will have to be a list of the books that I definitely want to read by June 2019.

1. A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab

I’ve been trying to read ADSOM since 2018 but I never got past the first 100 pages. I know it’s a good book and I’m in love with everything already (from the writing to the characters and the world building) but I can never read it fast enough so here’s hoping that I’ll finish it by June 2019.

2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

I recently finished Carry On by the same author and since the books have a little bit of connection I decided to give Fangirl a reread. I’m quite excited because I’ve been in the mood for some sweet contemporaries.

3. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I’ve attempted to read Illuminae for a really long time but the epub file always crashes my phone and alas there was finally a copy available at the library which I quickly snatched up. I should at least finish Illuminae given that it is due pretty soon.

4. A Study of Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro

I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about this book but I saw it at the library and it seemed interesting enough so I do have hope. At the very least, I’m sure it will be an adorable read (plus a touch of mystery).

My TBR will probably change rapidly and I may update this list as I see fit. Or I might just post a round-up at the end of May and June and see which adventures I’ve delved into during each month.
