Summer Book Haul ✨ [50+ new books, so many thrillers!]

But, A Short Stay in Hell ended up becoming a new favorite five-star book for me.

But unfortunately, this one only ended up being around like three stars for me. Like, I thought it was okay, but it was definitely not my favorite from Taylor Jenkins Reed, which is so unfortunate.

Like the book Cinder, for example, is like one of my favorites.

And because this is one of my favorite romance books that I've read this year, I just really wanted to own a copy.

They also sent a copy of The Next Chapter, which this is a romance from the same author as Just as You Are, which is a queer romance that I read probably last year or the year before that I really liked.

I was so sure that I was not going to like Lights Out and then I really loved it.

Mayfly was one that I didn't really care for, but this is one that I thought might be more up my alley cuz this one involves this like virus kind of like pandemic apocalyptic kind of a situation that I think sounds kind of fun.

I've seen a lot of people compare this one to Notes on an Execution, which that's one of my favorite books of all time.

And you know, John Fram is the author of The Brightlands, which is like one of my favorite horror books of all time.

This one says it's You've Got Mail meets The Hating Game, which The Hating Game is like one of my all-time favorites, so that definitely pulled me in right away.

I'm probably going to be unhauling The Stepford Wives very soon because this one just didn't really work for me.

But, you know, I did realize that this is the same author as To All the Boys I've Loved Before, which I actually did really enjoy those books many years ago when I was younger.

I've just been so curious about this one because of how much I loved Yellowface.
