The Summer I Turned Pretty (Summer, #1)

Jenny Han

Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

Question for Ereader Owners

So I've developed a little conundrum now that summer has rolled around. I've been using my phone for library-loaned ebooks and only been using physical loans when the ebook isn't available. I've noticed that when I read poolside, my phone tends to overheat (even when it's just sitting next to me unused). It's been consistently 90°F/32°C+ so I'm not surprised that I've run into this issue, but I obviously don't want to damage my phone. All this is just to ask: do ereaders overheat or get warm at all when used outdoors in higher temperatures? Double question: I can link Libby, and hence my library ebooks, to an ereader right? If the answers are no and yes respectively, I'm thinking this might be my solution, but I just wanted to get some more input. Thanks in advance and for reading this far!

this book is nostalgia-core

i loved this series growing up, so returning to it feels wildly nostalgic. i forgot absolutely everything that happens apparently

How do you use your PB shelves?

Do you have a neat sorting system? Is there a shelf you're particularly proud of? Do you also forget they exist? 😅

I forget to use them, my shelves are also very messy and most are private because you can't really rearrange the books on the shelf. I do have one for 'books other pagebound users recommended me' that I like having.

*for clarity, i mean the shelves in your library, not lists

The Truth About Forever

Sarah Dessen

That's what Macy has to look forward to while her boyfriend, Jason, is away at Brain Camp. Days will be spent at a boring job in the library, evenings will be filled with vocabulary drills for the SATs, and spare time will be passed with her mother, the two of them sharing a silent grief at the traumatic loss of Macy's father. But sometimes, unexpected things can happen—things such as the catering job at Wish, with its fun-loving, chaotic crew. Or her sister's project of renovating the neglected beach house, awakening long-buried memories. Things such as meeting Wes, a boy with a past, a taste for Truth-telling, and an amazing artistic talent, the kind of boy who could turn any girl's world upside down. As Macy ventures out of her shell, she begins to question her sheltered life.

I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies, #1)

Pittacus Lore

Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books--but we are real. Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. We have lived among you without you knowing. But they know. They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. They killed them all. I am Number Four. I am next.

The Jasmine Throne (The Burning Kingdoms, #1)

Tasha Suri

Author of Empire of Sand and Realm of Ash Tasha Suri's The Jasmine Throne, beginning a new trilogy set in a world inspired by the history and epics of India, in which a captive princess and a maidservant in possession of forbidden magic become unlikely allies on a dark journey to save their empire from the princess's traitor brother. Imprisoned by her dictator brother, Malini spends her days in isolation in the Hirana: an ancient temple that was once the source of the powerful, magical deathless waters — but is now little more than a decaying ruin. Priya is a maidservant, one among several who make the treacherous journey to the top of the Hirana every night to clean Malini’s chambers. She is happy to be an anonymous drudge, so long as it keeps anyone from guessing the dangerous secret she hides. But when Malini accidentally bears witness to Priya’s true nature, their destinies become irrevocably tangled. One is a vengeful princess seeking to depose her brother from his throne. The other is a priestess seeking to find her family. Together, they will change the fate of an empire.

3.5 / 5 ⭐️

ohhhhh lauren and her magical husband-generating attic. i feel that we’ve been through an ordeal together, lauren and i - her with her many alternate universes and the husbands within them, and me having to read about all the husbands.

i would have liked this book more if it had 20% fewer husbands. good lord! there were literally hundreds! i didn’t like lauren, not one bit, but i did find her decision-making entertaining. the middle is a slog, but the end is potentially worth it (depending on your taste).

i enjoyed this. i wouldn’t say i LOVED it, but i am impressed that it’s a debut. it was very well written, if a little boring. i especially liked the end of the book - that’s the only place where the story feels meaningful.

very groundhog day, serving time loop realness. i don’t know, that’s never been my favorite trope and i would say it’s done medium well here. i’m glad i stuck with it because i did like the ending, but i genuinely felt like there could have (should have?) been more of a point. what does lauren learn through this? what is up with the attic? i had many an unanswered question.

middling success! not my favorite, but it’ll do. 3 stars!

The Husbands

Holly Gramazio

An exuberant debut, The Husbands delights in how do we navigate life, love, and choice in a world of never-ending options? When Lauren returns home to her flat in London late one night, she is greeted at the door by her husband, Michael. There’s only one problem—she’s not married. She’s never seen this man before in her life. But according to her friends, her much-improved decor, and the photos on her phone, they’ve been together for years. As Lauren tries to puzzle out how she could be married to someone she can’t remember meeting, Michael goes to the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place, a new man emerges, and a new, slightly altered life re-forms around her. Realizing that her attic is creating an infinite supply of husbands, Lauren confronts the question: If swapping lives is as easy as changing a lightbulb, how do you know you’ve taken the right path? When do you stop trying to do better and start actually living?
