Could it be that you have a duplicate on your shelves?

6th time?? Wow! :-)"

it just happened to work for another challenge, what could I do? LOL

so I went and picked up ACOMAF again.

For the 6th time LOL

I still enjoy Sarah J. Maas.

There is something in her writing that just pulls me in (and yes, I know that she goes over the top). But I remember being a wreck after ACOMAF, and now ACOMAF is my go-to book when I feel a slump coming.

I also enjoy Renee Ahdieh's style in The Wrath And The Dawn, another book that left me gutted. I guess I just have a weak spot for dramatic writing LOL.

I'm a fan of Ilona Andrews, I do have a couple of books by them to read, but it's just not what I'm in the mood for right now.

for me it was A Court Of Silver Flames and Rule Of Wolves.

There is a new Bernard Cornwell book coming out, though, but that's it.

I'm in Brazil... So nearly no libraries around here, much less with current releases (and in English? Impossible). They live on donations, mostly.

Gosh, I wish I had a good library system here.

I don't think June in particular has any releases that I'm dying to get my hands on. Come to think of it, I think all the releases I was excited about for 2021 have already happened, which is a tad depressing

I don't know what I want to read next...

Thinking of picking up ACOTAR for another re-read.

I really don't get why this series is YA. The first book, okay. But by the second book, it was pretty clear that it was not YA material...

Just a heads-up, I'm currently reading Countdown 1945: The Extraordinary Story of the 116 Days that Changed the World, which doesn't seem to fit a lot of tasks, but it does fit #95 (MPG History)

Also, found this:

Repeated words in title: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

Just putting this here, for future reference

Hippos on the cover:



Onomatopoeia in title: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3...

Exclamation point: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3...

are there any particularly troublesome tasks?

I still haven't chosen my next read :)
