2023 READING CHALLENGE | WHAT I'VE READ IN JUNE

What another great month of reading. Three out of seven reads I've read have been for book tours. I'm involved in a good few more tours for July too. I've mainly read fantasy this month but there are a few other genres too.




Seat 97 by Tony Bassett 
Seat 97 is a gripping crime/thriller/ mystery. You can read the book tour for this one here. Definitely was a brilliant read that I reccomend to anyone who is into this genre. 




The point where the ocean ends by Siobhan Murphy 
A beautiful and moving read, the story takes you through the life of Kerensa who in current times is middle aged and at a crossroads in life. The story also shares her past where we get to go on her travels with her and see how love, loss and her travels have shaped her life. For more on this beautiful read you can find my book tour post here.



The Greatest Love Story Ever Told By Suzy K Quinn 
The funniest, happiest, saddest, happiest romantic comedy you will ever read. With a small twist! This is the last of the booktours this month and can be found here.



Mirror Mirror 
Part of the Twisted Tails books this one is of course based on snow white. I really enjoyed this retelling where instead of snow white eating the poisoned apple, the Prince does. Whilst snow white is ready to fight the evil queen and take back control of the country.


Straight on till morning
Wendy takes passage to Neverland with Captain Hook in return for giving him Peter's shadow. But when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land, it's up to the Wendy and Tinkerbell to save Peter Pan-and his world.



A whole new world 
What if Jafar was the first one to summon the Genie? When Jafar steals the Genie’s lamp, he uses his first two wishes to become sultan and the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Agrabah lives in fear, waiting for his third and final wish.To stop the power-mad ruler, Aladdin and the deposed Princess Jasmine must unite the people of Agrabah in rebellion. But soon their fight for freedom threatens to tear the kingdom apart in a costly civil war.



A monster calls by Patrick Ness

Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother first fell ill, ever since she started the treatments that don't quite seem to be working. But tonight is different. Tonight, when he wakes, there's a visitor at his window. It's ancient, elemental, a force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth. Patrick Ness takes the final idea of the late, award-winning writer Siobhan Dowd and weaves an extraordinary and heartbreaking tale of mischief, healing and above all, the courage it takes to survive.
