    Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen novel because it was her last completed one, and you can really see her growth as a writer in it. And fun fact, the argument she makes throughout the book about not allowing others to persuade you is the opposite of advice she previously gave to her beloved niece. My favorite of May was Night of the Dragon by Julie Kagawa, the third book in the Shadow of the Fox trilogy (HIGHLY recommend for anime fans or anyone interested in Japanese mythology). My "least favorite" was probably To Kill a Shadow by Katherine Quinn, because every relationship was told, not shown, so there was no emotional impact.

    if you're looking for more archaeology type books then i really recommend Us in Ruins by Rachel Moore! It comes out in September and I just read it. It's a YA that follows Margot as she goes on a school archaeology trip to Italy but she has her own agenda-she wants to venture on a quest to uncover and reassemble an ancient and cursed vase. There's a really great slow burn romance (that had me screaming at the book for them to kiss which is always fun) between Margot and a boy who helps her find this vase-he's also the same boy who went missing in 1932 while searching for the vase who was turned into a statue that she discovers on her quest. the description on goodreads says "With a blend of humor, magic, and love, Rachel Moore crafts another stand-alone adventure romcom full of double and triple crosses, hilarious shenanigans, and frustration fueled banter, where the best treasure is true love." her debut novel is also great called, The Library of Shadows-it came out last year and is a great spooky (and a bit kooky) romcom! But I definitely recommend keeping an eye out for Us In Ruins when it comes out in September!!

    For the month of May I got back into reading Emily Henry and read Funny Story and Happy Place I enjoyed them so much. I am planning to read People We Meet On Vacation in June. I finally read The Poppy War and that had some great adventure vibes. My favorite read this month was The House In The Cerulean Sea. My least favorite books would probably have to be The Bridge Kingdom and The Serpent and the Wings of Night even though I liked them because of the vibes and I do plan on continuing the series I just hope there is more action. Happy reading!

    Persuasion is one of my favourite Jane Austen books, sometimes it even sneaks ahead of Pride and Prejudice… a real ‘dark horse’ favourite Austen though is Northanger Abbey - which is Austen poking gentle fun at the gothic novels which were all the rage at the time. Her sense of humour is quite obvious in that book. I’d always enjoyed it then I listened to the audio book, read by the fabulous Emma Thompson, and it shot up the list of favourites. I also really enjoyed the fourth Lady Trent book, I read the entire series earlier this year. The fourth might possibly be my favourite in the series. Current reading - inspired by the release of the third season of Bridgerton, I’ve been reading some of the other books set in that world by Julia Quinn - currently enjoying the Smythe-Smith Quartet stories (4 books) and the Bevelstoke series (3 books) - quite ‘fluffy’ but good fun. And yes, I read all the Bridgerton books and the prequel series a few years ago. I’m not a big romance reader (Jane Austen and her ilk aside), but have enjoyed the ‘turn my brain off’ quality of Julia Quinn’s books.

    i had a really good reading month in may, my top books were The Giver by Lois Lowry (reread), and Red Rising and Golden Son by Pierce Brown. I think the worst book i read in may was bloodmarked by Tracy Deon, it was just overly complicated and things kinda just happened for the sake of happening compared to legendborn

    My least favorite read of the month for May was The City of Stardust. I really wanted to love it but I just couldn’t, characters felt flat, some loose ends, the ending was very vague and there was not a lot of things happening throughout the book and for some reason we were back to square one even though I was 80% through the book 😭 it’s probably one of my least favorite books that I have ever read 😅
