June started off kind of odd for me; it felt like most of the books I was reading were bad or mediocre. Overall, I ended up liking most of the books I read. The first that comes to mind is Nine Coaches Waiting by Mary Stewart. This was a fun mystery with a touch of romance. I’m always a little nervous when I read “teen” books that take place in high school. Some authors think it’s a good idea to include a lot of sex, drugs, bad language, etc. With Enthusiasm and Loser’s Guide to Life and Love I was happy to find both to be a pretty clean reads, with cute stories. I also enjoyed Warrior Princess and Northlander; both are fantasy novels with a strong female heroine. And if you’re into vampire novels (which I promise I’m not…okay, maybe just a little) you’ll like The Awakening and The Struggle by L.J. Smith. I read these because there is going to be a new TV show on the CW this fall, based on the books. If you like fairy tales then check out Beastly, it was a fun retelling of Beauty and the Beast. And last but not least, A Crooked Kind of Perfect by Linda Urban. This is a book that everyone should read! Happy Reading!
