Still need to get these done. Sorry ladies! Life is busy Ill try after I wake up today

Laura:

1. humour/ comedy
I loved this book, it made it actually laugh out loud. Each chapter is a different adventure but they flow together well.

2. Nature
on your tbr, comes out this month and has a nature looking cover

3. Star wars day is May 4 so sci-fi recs or long running series
15 books is a long running series in my books. These are fun UF. How can you not love a sentient house!


Elena:

1. humour/ comedy
out this month, on your tbr and just sounds like a lot of fun

2. Nature
on your tbr, nature cover plus takes place surrounded by national forrest

3. Star wars day is May 4 so sci-fi recs or long running series
12 books and counting is also a long running series. Good books, they do need better editing but are worth dealing with some grammatical and spelling errors. Its set in a small town in Austrailia, werewolf reservations, wild magic and just magic in general.

MacKenzie:

1. humour/ comedy
funny trilogy with an MC who just wants to be able to eat food and watch tv but keeps getting forced into doing things. Plus there is a talking cat and he is amazing.
on your tbr, sounds like a romcom

2. Nature
on your tbr, nature looking cover

3. Star wars day is May 4 so sci-fi recs or long running series
15 books is a long running series in my books. These are fun UF. How can you not love a sentient house! Adding this for your recs too as Im pretty sure the series is on KU
manga tends to run long and Im quite enjoying this series. Think you would too.

Brittany, thanks a lot for the picks :) I'll choose something later and also post picks a bit later too.

Thank you for the picks Brittany! I think I;ll try if I can get my hands on the Paradise problem!

Here are yours:


Brittany

nature themes and an interesting high fantasy duology

this is a standalone, also nature themes and I loved it!

I actually really loved this it was so cute and actually humorous!

Elena

super cute and funny as well

sort of nature themed and really like this series!

I'm just going to recommend this to all of you this month!

Mackenzie

really funny and sort of nature themed

interesting premise, and nature themed .

I'm just going to recommend this to all of you this month!

Thanks Laura!
I forgot that Funny Story had come out so I went and put a hold on it, ~26 week wait though!
If my hold for River Enchanted comes in Ill read that!

Finally I got to the picks :)

Brittany:
- I've recently started reading this lovely manga, it's so funny, cute and light.
- magical story with beautiful language, lots of nature, it's also asian fantasy.
- I haven't read the book yet, but that description looks really intense, fresh and interesting. I think you should love it.

Laura:
- I've read several series by the author and think this one is her best so far, though not finished yet.
- I remember loving the first book, this one should be at leas descent, the description sounds nice.
- very unusual book, but also interesting and I remember I really enjoyed the narrative.

Mackenzie:
- I'll second this one, the whole series it delightfully funny, light and with some nature.
- the author is good in creating magical worlds and cosy, atmospheric stories, the book also rises pretty interesting topics. I think you might love it.
- insanely good asian fantasy, it's pretty heavy on the plot and culture, which makes it not an easy read, but worth it 100%.

Thanks Elena! Im on a long hold for Five Broken Blades but I cant wait to read it when I finally can!

Also as the summer tends to be busy, I was thinking of doing every other month with these til fall. So doing them in July and September and then back to monthly. What do you all think? If you want them every month Ill still put them up I just cant promise Ill be around to do picks.

I'm fine with skipping months as my summer is going to be pretty busy too.

Yes sounds good to me!

Perfect!

That sounds good to me as well. sorry for the late picks, we had just finished our performances of The Sound Of Music (which went AMAZING!!!), but here are some picks that you all might find interesting:

Brittany

•Funny Feelings by Tarah Dewitt: This book was just so fun and definitely a rom-com at heart

• What We Harvest by Ann Fraistat: The concept for this book was so interesting and also involves nature.

• The Cure Chronicles by K.A. Riley: This is a sci-fi series that kept me hooked!

Elena

• The Co-Op by Tarah Dewitt: This was so cute with some humor here and there. Definitely a good read.

• Bone Crier's Moon by Kathryn Purdie: This cover is beautiful and definitely involves nature.

• Zodiac Academy by Caroline Peckham: This is a long series with so much chaos. I had fun with them!

Laura

• Butcher and Blackbird by Brynne Weaver for comedy. I head this one was hilarious, but definitely check trigger warnings.

• When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker: I feel like this book would have such a nature feel to it based on the cover.

• The Dark Tower series by Stephen King: This series is 8 books long and looks interesting!


I think I will go with Undead Life (I'm trusting you Brittany!!!) But I really need a series I can commit to in the summer! If I stop by the book store I'll be sure to buy Funny Story and The Poppy War because both look soo good.

Mackenzie I hope you love it! Ive found the series a lot of fun on audio.
Glad to hear Sound of Music went well! Were you performing in it? If so as who?

I was Frau Schmidt in the performance. It was a blast!!

My hold came in really early for Five Broken Blades so I am going to start that today!


Great to hear the performance was a blast Mackenzie!

I did read Five Broken Blades and I loved it. Definitely recommend and cannot wait for book 2 to come out

@Brittany I'm happy you loved Five Broken Blades, now I want to read it even more :)

@Laura Thanks for recommending Funny Story. I loved it! Authors books for me were like a rollercoaster, some I liked, the others did not. But there was no perfect book. And finally I found one :) Perfect summer romance with a little bit of everything.
