The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenni Han (Summer #1)

Image
I never read To All The Boys I Loved Before, I must have missed the hype, but one thing is for sure, this author can write. Each sentence flows into another perfectly, the story becomes alive before your eyes and pretty soon you cannot help but fall in love with all of the characters, no matter how flawed they are, and root for the happy ending, that is ever elusive.  I was swayed by the pretty cover and sucked in by the story. It's engaging and so vividly written.  Belly and Steren come to the Cousins Beach House every summer. Their mothers are best friends and they bring their kind together each year. The boys have always been tight, but Belly always fell a bit to the wayside. Until the last few years. Not to mention she has a ginormous crush on the older boy, Conrad. This was the first summer the boys noticed her. She spends her days with the boy next door and dreams about the one she can't have.  The atmosphere is a bit different in the house than in previous years. The boy

The Summer Switch-Off by Beth Reekles

There is a reason why they are all on this holiday. They are all stuck in life, not in space where they want to be and now knowing what to do next. Luna thought her life was perfect.

Not sure if she did the right thing, she booked the holiday to get away from it all.

But contrary to everyone's beliefs, in each and every possible situation she rises up to the challenge comes out victorious, and gets chosen by the two dragons.

He helps her, protects her, and always looks out for her. They were supposed to be the biggest enemies, but the chemistry between them makes it the opposite.  Their nation relies on dragons to keep the cap on wards to protect them from the outside. But little by little it becomes obvious that what they

Ennead by Mojito, Vol. 1

Image
Ennead is a Manhwa that retells the story of the Egyptian god. The first volume is basically the intro to the story that will come and provide a backstory to some of the characters. Gods and people prospered when Orisirs led them, but he was killed and overthrown by Seth, the god of war and sand. Isis, Osiris's wife found him, saved his essence, and put him back together. They made a child. Meanwhile, Seth's ruling is cruel and not so good for people. It wasn't until now that the Gods were against it. It all seems wrong somehow like there is some hidden story behind it all that we have yet to uncover. And that what is going on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg. The art is so beautiful, it has a unique style that I just fell in love with. The storyline is very engaging and now I desperately need the rest of them. :) rating  ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover  ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ art style  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads Amazon number of pages:  296 published: November 21, 2023 happy reading, Anie
