I was approved for three books from Netgalley this week. Macmillian Audio really pulled through! Ordinary Monsters is the start of a new historical fantasy series. After reading and loving The Golem and the Jinni, I have been craving more historical fantasy, so I am curious to see what I think of this 672-page novel.
This Vicious Grace is one of my most anticipated releases of the year, so I was thrilled to be approved for this audio! All I know is that it is a debut fantasy with the bodyguard trope. Yes, please!
Acts of Violet is one of my five-star predictions for the year! I absolutely loved Oona Out of Order, so I am excited for another book from Margarita Montimore!
I downloaded two books from this month’s Libro.fm offerings for influencers, both of which are romance. I have already listened to Book Lovers, and, despite loving the beginning, I ended up having mixed feelings about it. More about that soon!
I have not read a lot of historical romance, but I am excited to try it, especially since I already know that I love Alexis Hall. A Lady for a Duke comes out later this month and I plan to listen to it once I am finished with Nettle and Bone. I can’t wait!
I received two physical ARCs from Penguin Canada this week, and I am equally excited about both! When We Fell Apart is a debut and, from what I understand, is a family drama. It follows a Korean American man who is searching for answers to his girlfriend’s death. I am curious to see what I think!
Every Summer After looks like the perfect beach read! I have been told it is a RomDram and is quite emotional. I am so ready for it!
I bought one book this week. I finally gave in to all the hype! I have not seen anyone give Lessons in Chemistry a bad review.

Ooh, Acts of Violet and Every Summer After are calling to me!
I’m so excited to both. I am tempted to start Every Summer After right now but trying to save it for the beach!
I was just approved for audio of Ordinary Monsters & This Vicious Grace too! I’m hoping to read both of them sometime this month, I’m really excited for This Vicious Grace especially!
Yes!! We have such similar taste. I love it! I agree-I have been so excited for This Vicious Grace!
I love it too, I’m always curious to see what you’re reading next bc I’m like hmm maybe I’ll like that too & should add that to my TBR 😂
Soke great books in the list. I hope you enjoy Lessons In Chemistry (I loved it!)
I’ve started it and it’s already fantastic!
I felt meh about Book Lovers. The worry banter is tiresome. Still like Beach Read the best!
Another friend just told me the exact same thing! I am going to have to pick up Beach Read this summer!
“Worry banter”?!?! What the? Dumb auto correct! I don’t even remember what I meant now! 😂 probably “witty banter”!
Hahaha I assumed that’s what you meant!
Fun stuff! Lessons in chemistry is on my TBR because the author is my age! Give me hope of getting published yet.
Ah that’s so amazing!
I loved both Every Summer After and Lessons in Chemistry, I hope you enjoy them both
Loving Lessons in Chemistry already!!
I’m very curious about Lessons in Chemistry and can’t wait to get a copy too. I’m also really looking forward to reading This Vicious Grace cos I’ve been seeing it everywhere on my feeds lately and the more I see it mentioned, the more I’m anticipating it 😍 I hope you enjoy all these books!
I’m loving Lessons in Chemistry so far!
I’ve been seeing This Vicious Grace everywhere as well. I am trying to keep my expectations in check. I’m just so excited about it!
Ooh, definitely intrigued by Ordinary Monsters. I think that one’s gonna have to go straight to the TBR List! 🙂
Doesn’t it sound good!? Can’t wait to start it!
