Fresh Water for Flowers has been on my want to read list, but I’m moving it up based on your review. It sounds like a book I will love. I ended June with The Goldfinch, and realizing Donna Tartt is going to be an auto buy author for me. I do hope she has another book coming soon. I still have her second book to read, so I’ll just have to be thankful for that. Have a great week💕

Thank you for your Boy Parts review! You kinda sum up my feelings exactly! I thought I hated it but somehow I keep thinking about it…. Not a 4 stars for me but maybe a 3? Haha! Very mixed feelings!

I recently read Her Majesty’s Royal Coven and I agree with you. I loved the reading of it with some thought provoking stuff but there is something that niggles at me. I am not decided if I want to continue, but I might borrow it from the library if I do!

I stumbled upon Fresh Water for Flowers while looking for French books this year. Have not heard anyone talk about it. I’m glad to hear it’s good! I have a lot to read this summer, including Bonjour Tristesse/A Certain Smile, If Beale Street Could Talk, a bunch of Ancient Greek/Roman stuff, Divine Might, and The Silence of the Girls.

That looks like a very interesting reading month! Two of the books I enjoyed most last month were: The red palace (mystery novel about solving a murder in Korea in 1758, super interesting) and Three Mages and a Margarita (very fun urban fanatsy). If you need a neew book about witches after Her Majesty's Royal Coven I can really recommend the latter one. It not only features witches, but also alchemists, druids, fae and other magical creatures. It's perfect when you need a fast-paced and shorter book.

Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl sounded good to me too. I bought it and tried to read it, but it is completely unreadable. I hated it and I dnf'd it quite fast. It is admirable that you finished it. I am going to put Fresh Water for Flowers on my pop!

Oh good, you helped me decide to dnf 'Special Topics in Calamity Physics' as I was over 100 pages in & really struggling! 🤣 LOL I would have done what you did & power through it, my stubborn nature, but I realized I also have been reading a lot of books that I got along better with & I didn't need to waste time~ I'm still learning to dnf it seems 😅but the reasons you gave for not getting along with it were exactly my own! Looking forward to a better reading month ahead! Tnx Alice 💜

You and I felt the same way about Boy Parts. It was the first book I read that is considered unhinged, and I can't stop reading books like that now. Also, I said I would not read anymore of her books, but Boy Parts stays with you. I have to read her books. It's a "torture" I enjoy.

Now i am afraid to read Stuart Turton, i was so excited for this book. I've heard that is not how everyone expected, but hearing from you is convincing. I guess i will read it without thinking too much. But i am very intrigued by the last book - i hope will make its way to more readers. Thank you for this video, have a great week ahead!♥♥♥
