  1. I loved Book Lovers! It was my first Emily Henry book so I'm excited to read more of hers.

  2. I wanted to like Sea of Tranquility so much more than I did. I can't remember if I DNF'd or ended up finishing. If I didn't finish, I did make it over halfway before giving up.

    1. It's definitely one of those books where my opinion is based on the whole experience.

  3. I am a big Henry fan. It's great to see you enjoying her novels so much. My first Henry book was The Love That Split the World. It, and a Million Junes, were both standouts from her YA catalog

  6. I also loved Ninth House and Beach Read! Such diverse books, but both excellent! The rest of your books I haven't read, but will try to take a closer look.

    Happy Tuesday!

  8. Yes!!! Amina was SUCH a surprise for me because pirate/boat things usually bore me to tears. But I trusted in Chakraborty and wasn't disappointed 🥰

    1. Yes!! I really need to read her Daevabad trilogy.

  9. Chlorine is one I want to try, and I've heard so many good things about that first one as well.

  10. BOOK LOVERS is a fun read! It's spicier than I was expecting, but otherwise, I really liked it.

    Happy TTT!

  11. Amina Al-Sirafi is one of my favourites from this year so far too. I read Ninth House a few years back and I liked it but it's not my favourite Bardugo. I want to read Hell Bent, but I'm going to need to find a detailed plot synopsis for Ninth House first because I remember basically nothing that happened!

    1. My read of Ninth House was a reread for that very reason!
