JUNE WRAP-UP

 So here are all the books I read last month! I read a total of 8 books. 

  1. Witch Hat Atelier Volume 8 by Kamome Shirahama-Well, this is obviously a sequel that is several books into the story. All I can say is it's still a masterpiece. 5 stars
  2. You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson-a YA contemporary novel about a girl named Liz who wants to go to a prestigious college to be in their orchestra and then go to medical school. But she didn't get the financial aid she applied for, so she decides to join the race to become prom queen and get a scholarship. She falls in love with another one of the contestants, a girl named Mack. 5 stars
  3. Witch Hat Atelier Volume 9 by Kamome Shirahama-The reason this one got half a point off was because of one chapter I didn't read in this book. But there was a content warning in the beginning and it even said you didn't have to read that chapter in order to understand the rest of the story. Other than that, great sequel! 4.5 stars
  4. Witch Hat Atelier Volume 10 by Kamome Shirahama- again, I loved it. I am looking forward to volume 11, whenever it comes out! 5 stars
  5. Sheets by Brenna Thummler- YA graphic novel of an unpopular girl named Marjorie who runs her family's laundromat, and befriends a ghost after the ghost scares away a shady businessman who wants to tear down her family business. 3 stars
  6. Bone Volume 7 by Jeff Smith- great sequel. That is all you need to know. 5 stars
  7. Bone Volume 8 by Jeff Smith- I can't believe this is the second to last book! I will be reading the last volume this month. 5 stars
  8. Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan- a YA fantasy novel inspired by Chinese folklore. Xingyin is the daughter of the moon goddess, Chang'e, and her mother has been imprisoned by the Celestial Emperor for drinking an immortality elixer that was meant for Xingyin's father, a mortal who slayed a bunch of sunbirds. When the Celestial Emperor senses Xingyin's magical powers, she decides to go out into the world and find a way to save her mother from imprisonment. She ends up befriending Liwei, the Celestial Kingdom's prince, and Wezhi, a captain of the Royal Army, and becomes a skilled archer in the army. 5 stars

Well, it seems like I had a mostly positive reading month! 

How did your reading go in June?

The Baker and The Bard Review

Image
  A cozy little fantasy adventure with queer representation! The Baker and the Bard by Fern Haught follows two friends, Juniper and Hadley. They work at a bakery and sometimes perform at an inn. One day their boss at the bakery sends them on a mission to get some glowing oyster mushrooms in a big forest for a big order a rich customer places. The friends get notice that several crops nearby are failing. They find out the cause is because of giant caterpillars that belong to a fey (fairy) named Thistle. It turns out, the fey caterpillars have some problems of their own. Juniper and Hadley find a way to help Thistle and get the mushrooms they need for the bakery. I gave it 5 stars. It's such a simple, but magical story! I think this book is perfect if you're in the mood for some adventure but with not very high stakes. Kind of like Legends and Lattes! There is also queer rep in this book. Hadley and Thistle are nonbinary, and Juniper and Hadley become a Sapphic couple.

I Started Reading the Call the Name of the Night manga series!

Image
  I hope this becomes a new favorite series! Call the Name of the Night by Tama Mitsuboshi is about Mira--a girl with a rare condition where everytime she gets anxious, everything around her gets engulfed in darkness and it scares people. She is currently living with a doctor and magician named Rei, who is researching her rare condition and will maybe find a cure for it. Mira's daily life with Rei is rather chill: she usually reads books, helps Rei with cooking, plays with little shadow creatures,  and hangs out in the garden.  One day, an old, rather sketchy acquaintance of Rei's names Cartos comes to visit, and Mira ends up learning something about herself she never knew.  So far, I am loving this!  I gave this first volume 5 stars .  I love the heartwarming magical cottagecore vibes and the gorgeous pictures. it's like a more chill version of Witch Hat Atelier, in my opinion.  I also love the dynamic between Mira and Rei! I have a feeling Cartos will continue being a so

Favorite Childhood Online Games

Did you play any of these as a kid? I don't play on any of the ones that require an account anymore (plus Club Penguin no longer exists and my Webkinz account expired a long time ago), but the other ones I still play once in a while! 1. Webkinz-   I still have all 50 of my Webkinz (the stuffed animals in real life, I mean)!  Webkinz was everything to me all throughout elementary school.  2. Club Penguin- I played this one mostly in fourth and fifth grade (ages 9-10). It was a lot of fun! Although it was way more fun if you were a member (which I wasn't).  3. Poptropica- I always made my character look like me. Did you know the creator of this game is also the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid ? 4. Funbrain- My favorites on here were the swinging game, the one where a guy runs on logs, Mighty Girl/Guy, and the Star Climber. They also had some online books, like Tess's Tree and the earliest draft of Wimpy Kid . 5. AddictingGames- well, I mostly played Red Remover on here. At one
