Favorite Books — June 2022

June was a good month for books. There’s one I’d like to particularly highlight:

THE MIGHTY HEART OF SUNNY ST. JAMES, by Ashley Herring Blake

When Sunny St. James receives a new heart, she decides to set off on a “New Life Plan”: 1) do awesome amazing things she could never do before, 2) find a new best friend, and 3) kiss a boy for the first time. Her “New Life Plan” seems to be racing forward, but when she meets her new best friend Quinn, Sunny questions whether she really wants to kiss a boy at all.

This book is awesome. As is just about everything Ashley Herring Blake has ever written. That is all.

Other books I enjoyed this month included: THE ROBBER GIRL by Franny Billingsley, SHE GETS THE GIRL by Rachael Lippincott, THE DAUGHTERS OF YS by M. T. Anderson and Jo Rioux, DEATHLESS GODS by P. C. Hodgell, THE MEMORY THEATER by Karen Tidbeck, NEVERNIGHT by Jay Kristoff, COMPANION PIECE by Ali Smith, A TOUCH OF JEN by Beth Morgan, TWELVE DAYS IN MAY by Niamh Hargan, CLOCKWORK SISTER by M. E. Rodman, THE STORYTELLERS by Caron McKinlay, CIBOLA BURN by James S. A. Corey, HIDE by Kiersten White, NEITHER PRESENT TIME by Caren J. Werlinger, and EYES OF THE VOID by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
