Jessie's June Books

So I did really, really good at not buying books in June. It was weird. I mean I bought some -- I'm not a saint -- but it was way way down from what I usually bring in. See?

Bought:

A Crown for Cold Silver by Alex Marshall -- so this has had mixed reviews but I love the title, the tagline ("it was all going so well, right up until he massacre") and there's a bisexual female general. Sold.

The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes - I've already read this and it is goddamn fantastic. Cults + The Girl With No Hands + great writing.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han - I have this as an ARC but the time was right for a physical copy.

Sent:

What We Left Behind by Robin Talley --- thank you Harlequin Teen!
Mistletoe and Mr. Right by Lyla Payne --- thank you Bloomsbury!
A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston --- thank you Christina Reads YA!
First & Then by Emma Mills --- thank you MacMillan!
Avelynn by Marissa Campbell --- thank you St. Martin's Griffin!

Gifted:

ARC of Froi of the Exiles by Melina Marchetta --- thank you Lili for adding to my Marchetta collection <3
Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman --- HOLY SHIT GUYS READ THIS RIGHT NOW OK OK

Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley
Talon by Julie Kagawa 

gifted by Lyn along with TWO awesome gifts -- a Tootless figurine and a dragon neckalce. I haven't taken the neckalce off and Tootless stands guard on my computer.

Thank you my lovely friend for your care package <3

Say Goodnight Gracie by Julie Reece Deaver--- So I made poor Lindsey read Jellicoe Road and I am pretty sure this book is her revenge.

A History of Glitter and Blood by Hannnah Moskowitz - this was a generous gift from Christina of Christina Reads YA! I love this author's unique style and am really curious to see what she does with fairies.
