Books I Read in June // magical realism + spooky stories

I wasn't super impressed with a darker shade of magic so I was little bit hesitant to see what I would think of the gathering of shadows

the gathering of Shadows it was honestly just fun this was just a really fun book from start to finish

my favorite read of the month was definitely after dark by Murakami it's got added to my favorites shelf of all time

one thing I need to compliment probably first is the atmosphere the atmosphere is so good so thick I just loved it

another book I'll briefly talk about that I enjoyed a lot because I just found it very entertaining and the audiobook was really well done with death on the Nile by Agatha Christie

drive your plow over the bones of the Dead is very interesting it's a book that makes you think about the issue so much and think about who we give voices to who is allowed to speak the way that we perceive violence who can perpetrate violence the way that crime is mitad and then the way that committed crime is analyzed in regards to gender and speciesism and animals

a lot of these stories are very they'll start one way and then she'll very subtly insert one line that absolutely crushes you and changes the whole I don't know putting put together hits of the story and it's just so it was so good it was really good

this was just so incredibly disappointing the writing was a sloppy mess the construction the plot was a sloppy mess there's so many things that don't line up don't make any sense aren't properly explained

I do I did give it three stars because I learned a lot I found myself learning new facts about the war and everything like that but I think one of the main probably the main problem I have with this nonfiction book was that it focused so much on individual generals and their lives and their heroics

I thought the fantasy and everything that it embodied and everything that it like took on and tried to do was so interesting this system is so cool so well done I loved every single character in here and I'm just I gave it four and a half stars insane I cannot wait to read the next one

in terms of the romance I didn't really enjoy it like it was a little cutesy they obviously communicate by a sticky notes from us of this book which is really interesting

this is a very long thoroughly detailed really well done nonfiction book about the Vietnam War

I really ended up liking this I gave it four stars I would really like to find the next volume because this was just so much fun it was so fun

even though I didn't personally click with this novel and really engage with it in a way that I wanted to as much a city of girls I still really found it really fascinating and gave it three and a half stars
