Right now July is looking to be quite a chill reading month as I don’t have any ARCs to read. Well, I might have one but I’m waiting for it to arrive so I can’t talk about it yet.
Lore Olympus: Volume One by Rachel Smythe
I’ve actually read the first chapter of this already, I’ve tried it twice, but I just haven’t continued for some reason. I’m going to be reading the Webtoon version, I’m assuming they are exactly the same?
Synopsis: Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love—witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of mythology’s most well-known stories from creator Rachel Smythe. Featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story, Smythe’s original Eisner-nominated web-comic Lore Olympus brings the Greek Pantheon into the modern age with this sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
It’s Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han
I already mentioned this in my summer to be read a few days ago, but I’m going to mention it again. I’ve been putting this off for so long because I wanted it to actually be summer when I read it.
My plan is to finish it before the second season of the show comes out, which I’m crazy excited for.
Synopsis: Can summer be truly summer without Cousins Beach?
It used to be that Belly counted the days until summer, until she was back at Cousins Beach with Conrad and Jeremiah. But not this year. Not after Susannah got sick again and Conrad stopped caring. Everything that was right and good has fallen apart, leaving Belly wishing summer would never come.
But when Jeremiah calls saying Conrad has disappeared, Belly knows what she must do to make things right again. And it can only happen back at the beach house, the three of them together, the way things used to be. If this summer really and truly is the last summer, it should end the way it started—at Cousins Beach.
Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini
I haven’t done a re-read in a while and this might actually be the oldest one I’ll do. I’m not actually sure when I first read this, it was before I started my Goodreads account because it doesn’t have a date on it, just says read.
I was pretty obsessed with this series as a young teen, so lets see if it’s as good as I remember.
Synopsis: How do you defy DESTINY?
Helen Hamilton has spent her entire sixteen years trying to hide how different she is – no easy task on an island as small and sheltered as Nantucket. And it’s getting harder. Nightmares of a desperate desert journey have Helen waking parched, only to find her sheets damaged by dirt and dust. At school she’s haunted by hallucinations of three women weeping tears of blood… and when Helen first crosses paths with Lucas Delos, she has no way of knowing they’re destined to play the leading roles in a tragedy the Fates insist on repeating throughout history.
As Helen unlocks the secrets of her ancestry, she realizes that some myths are more than just legend. But even demigod powers might not be enough to defy the forces that are both drawing her and Lucas together – and trying to tear them apart.
