Best of the Month: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman ★★★★
This is one Gaiman that I’ve always wanted to read but had just never got around to it. I loved it. I also loved realizing just how many fantasy novels clearly got the inspiration from this.
Least Favorite: The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert ★★★
I really loved the beginning of this one but it kind of lost me near the end. I’m still not sure how to put my dislike into words. YA just hasn’t been my thing as of late so I’m sure others will adoe it.
Biggest Surprise: The Rules of Magic (Practical Magic #2) by Alice Hoffman ★★★★
This was a surprise mainly because of the surprise of its release. Sometimes you never know you need a book until you’ve got it in your hands. 🙂
Biggest Disappointment: The Boy on the Bridge (The Hungry Plague #2) by M.R. Carey ★★★
The Girl with All the Gifts was one of my favorites when I read it way back in 2014. This was also a surprise sequel release but one that I definitely could have done without.

I’m really bummed to hear The Hazel Wood was disappointing, but happy you loved The Rules of Magic! 8 books is great, I just can’t manage that many anymore until I’m done volunteering with my daughter’s $#@*&%$# choir, lol. (Soon! Only 5 months to go!)

Only 5 months. lol Yeah, I work about 65 hours a week lately so 8 books is probably an insane amount when I really think about it.

I adored The Rules of Magic. I swear there was magic worked into the pages because I couldn’t put it down and really couldn’t explain why. 8 books rocks!

It was a magical read. I never knew I wanted a backstory of that family but I’m glad we got it.
