June+ Book TBR

Used my boardgame.

I got reader's block for a while because I was so tired it was effecting everything, I did manage to finish one more book so I completed 4/6 before I decided to move on. I will definitely get back to Raksura #2 soon and Greenteeth is waiting for another time.

Final Girl (re-roll dice 1 time)

Roll #1

A 6, prompt: romance element. I want to try and find something with the romance level of Nettle & Bone and The Bone Houses. Okay, I used this list and decided to risk The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. At worst I'll give it a 3.5 which is not bad and I could use more easy listens rn.

Roll #2

A 5, prompt: Horror element this time, fitting for my avatar. I don't read much horror so this should be interesting. Okay that wasn't as hard as I thought, I'll read A Sorceress Comes to Call!

Roll #3

A 2 but I'm using my skill. Rerolled a 5. Prompt: verb in the title, ooh interesting. I can't remember where I heard this from, either a booktuber or someone here, but it seemed more like my kind of het romance: Queens of Villainy #1: Wooing the Witch Queen.

Roll #4

A 7, prompt: European ambience. I think...I'll read the next part in The Witcher, Sword of Destiny, which is another collection of short stories.

Roll #5

A 4, prompt: fantasy element as if all the books I've chosen so far weren't;; Let's try the M/M SOS Hotel: For a Supernaturally Safe Stay!

Roll #6

An 8, so close. Prompt: New book published in the last year. That was a bit of pain since I had to choose one with an audiobook but I picked Shroud, it'll be my second Tchaikovsky book.

Roll #7

A 3...right before the end. Blargh. And the prompt, mythology really stressed me out, it's not my favorite thing and I don't have many books tagged for it. I thought maybe I'd read some Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard but I only have one book left and I don't remember what happened last, but I don't want to reread because I remember enough it feels too soon. So I'm going to cheat and re-draw a prompt card and maybe take out this prompt from the game. New prompt: Featuring a group of friends. I picked Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, I'm a little nervous about it since I don't know much but it has 5 stars from someone I trust. I forgot this has a movie adaptation as well.

Roll #8

A 5 and the end. Reward: Took a while but I picked The Others #2 Murder of Crows.

I am also reading a non-fiction book here and there, Salt Sugar Fat.

Most looking forward to: I can't pick, multiple sound good!
Least looking forward to: Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda
