June Faves & July TBR

Here's what we loved in June and what is on the top of our TBR piles for July! Tell us your faves of June and what you plan to read in July!

JUNE FAVORITES

Jana's Pick

Ivory and Bone
Prehistoric fantasy is something totally new and exciting for me! I've been thinking about this one a lot since I read it. Read my review here.

God I just love Taylor Jenkins Reid's books soooo much. They always make me think about stuff! This one absolutely gripped me and honestly I felt like a wishbone being pulled into two directions. I mean, what would you do if you lost the love of your life in a plan crash, finally moved on many years later to be engaged to someone you really love and then your husband is found many years later and comes back into your life??? YEAH. I loved this book. I loved how the story was told. It was beautiful and heart-wrenching.  


Daisy's Pick

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
This was AMAZING and everything I wanted and then some.


Lori's Pick

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
I loved reading about the war women fought during World War II.  One sister joins the French Resistance and the other fights to keep her daughter and herself alive.  Lovely, lovely story.


Lauren's Pick 

I loved this both. I can never get enough sci-fi in my life, but this one blew me away. I even convinced the boyfriend to read it and he loved it!


JULY TBR

Jana's Pick

The Beauty of Darkness (The Remnant Chronicles, #3)
I'm SO excited to start this one! I love this trilogy, and I can't wait to read the final book. I was one of the lucky ones to receive a galley, so I'm going to jump in in time for the blog tour spot I'm hosting on my personal blog this month. :)

This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab
This summer I plan to finally read Victoria Schwab's books!!! I have owned The Archived since it was published along with many others but there's so much hype involving this author that I am always so scared to start!! BUT THIS SUMMER IT WILL HAPPEN.


Daisy's Pick

The Rose and the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh
OBVIOUSLY I should already be reading this. So I'm going to start right after typing this up, I'm so excited because OMG THE ENDING of The Wrath and the Dawn!!


Julia's Pick

And I Darken by Kiersten White
I haven't been reading much at all lately, but this book looks really interesting. I am sort of in love with the badass cover. Maybe I'll actually find time this month to sit outside and devour it. :)


Lori's Pick

Under Magnolia: A Southern Memoir by Frances Mayes
Honestly, I have been reading a lot of great fiction this summer and I have loved that.  So I just want to read something that it a bit different, but still has the feel of great writing.


Lauren's Pick

So... I've already started this book... and I'm scared. This book has actually creeped me out enough that I had nightmares one night that were semi-related. I mean, The Exorcist was a good horror book, but this one... whew. DON'T READ ALONE.

  6. We'd love it if you guys came to #ReadSavannah September 18 in Savannah GA! Based on what I see here there's definitely gonna be some authors you'll love on our panels and our keynote is Liane Moriarty! The unique thing about this event is the accessibility to the authors. They'll be there to talk to, to get books signed and to take pics with. I can't get the link to work but if you google "She Reads #ReadSavannah" or "Modern Mrs Darcy #ReadSavannah" you should be able to get to the link to learn more/register. If any of you decide to come, please contact us at She Reads and let us know. We are having a meet and greet with authors and attendees on Saturday and would love to know you're there.
