June Really Disappointed Me | June Wrap Up, Haul, and Unhaul

Sharing my thoughts on all the books I read in June, several of which were very disappointing. Lots of recent released romances didn't live up to the hype. Also see the books I hauled and unhauled this month.

I think of enemies to lovers like a spectrum with subcategories: -true enemies to lovers (what you mentioned) -rivals to lovers -hate to love, etc.

[@BecxReadz]

@@books4everafter I wouldn't even classify them as rivals cause they're not on opposite sides of a fight. Hate to love is even pushing it cause they don't hate one another enough. It's mild annoyance to love.

[@books4everafter]

Yeah, Ocean of Sin and Starlight agree with everything you said.

[@BecxReadz]

@@books4everafter what a shame cause it's a stunning book

[@books4everafter]

The Veiled Kingdom sounds so good!

[@books4everafter]

Did I order the gold foiled editions when Holly Renee restocked her site?.....yes, yes I did 😂

[@BecxReadz]

@@books4everafter it was a fun time

[@BecxReadz]

@@books4everafter haha they really are the only editions you should buy. 😃

[@books4everafter]

@@BecxReadz they are so pretty 🤗

[@tammieweaver5436]

Cool book

[@tibbarasden]

I didn't love Leather and Lark as much as Butcher and Blackbird, but I still really enjoyed it, especially Ethel. I can see where you are coming from with the giggling, and the song did make me cringe a bit. My two favorites from the month were Good Different by Meg Eden Kuyatt. It is a middle grade told in verse. The autism rep was fantastic. I also really loved Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. It is a historical fiction about the leper colony on Moloka'i and takes place from the 1890s all the way through 1970. The author did really well blending real history with fictional characters.

[@BecxReadz]

Oooh both of your faves sound good. I'm glad I'm not alone in cringing at the singing lol

[@AliDoisRead]

The Veiled Kingdom cover 😍 I’m very curious about Masquerade because I’m a sucker for Persephone/Hades inspired books 👀 but lol they always end up being 2-3 star reads 😫 I have been seeing some tragic reviews of Leather and Lark and IM SCARED 😅 🪴

[@BecxReadz]

@AliDoisRead just know Masquerade is very very very very loose hades and persephone

[@pardonthisbookaddict]

I read 1 Holly Renee and didn’t like it, but I’m increasingly become interested in Veiled Kingdom. 🌿

[@BecxReadz]

Me too, I've only read 2 of her books now. This one seems to be getting good feedback

[@tammieweaver5436]

Last one so cool wish I can find books like that. Is it a romance?

[@BecxReadz]

@@tammieweaver5436 yes it is

[@happily_ever_april]

but the only reason dacre doesn't kill her and try to help her is because his dad and her made a deal to help his kingdom. he definitely hates her but grows to wanting her. and enemy kingdoms. I dunno, I consider it.

[@BecxReadz]

@@happily_ever_april lol whatever works for ya

[@zeeybooknook]

🪴🪴 I am now very curious about Ocean of Sin and Starlight since KH is so well loved and I have yet to read anything by her (too many books/authors/ ,not enough time in the day) .

[@BecxReadz]

She has soooo many books to choose from so when you try her I hope you find one you love

[@michellesreadingshelf]

I really want to read veiled kingdom but I get angry about cliffhangers. 🫢 maybe I wait for the next book and binge them. Thanks for the wrap up! Good luck in July! 🎉

[@BecxReadz]

Oh if you're not a fan of cliffhangers I definitely suggest waiting cause that Cliffhanger was rude
