I would like to join the Sun Down Motel, and A Gilded Cage in June, and The Once and Future Witches in July please!

I would also like to recommend the following books:

June
The Retreat, by Mark Edwards
Mystery with strong psychological thriller vibes and a touch of the paranormal-ish, all surrounding a mysterious disappearance of a daughter, and a mother struggling to balance moving on with her life, and finding answers she may not want to know.

The Lamplighters, by Emma Stonex
Highly atmospheric historical mystery, about the enigmatic disappearance of three lighthouse keepers, and the wives they left behind. Beautiful prose, and set in Cornwall so I'm drawn automatically.

Cloud Cuckoo Land, by Anthony Doerr
Somewhere between fantasy and sci-fi, with a touch of mythology and set in a real historical background, this book extends across a millennia. A boy and a girl, a prisoner of war, and an interstellar traveler all united by the mysterious story of a man who wished to fly.


July
Hex, by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
I love me some good old witch hunting books, and this one looks mega-promising! Mainstream horror and dark fantasy, this is the story of a town isolated "for its own protection", and what happens when its story goes viral. Hint: all Hell breaks loose!

A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World, by C.A. Fletcher
In a story strongly reminiscent of John Wick, this dystopian fantasy book revolves around a stolen dog. There's nothing I could say to make this book more appealing than the description itself - "There may be no law left except what you make of it. But if you steal my dog, you can at least expect me to come after you."

August
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Historical fiction, beautifully heartbreaking, and featuring 2 incredibly strong women, one of which may have some experience with being married. Old Hollywood glamour vs. present day reality, this is the epitome of the legendary "Age before Beauty/Pearls before Swine" era.

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Saha you are added to those requests and all suggestions added to the spreadsheet! Some of those look really good I might have to join you for a couple! Just not sure which ones yet..
