Another month gone in 2024. What a month it was! Lots of great things happened, including a lot of financial wins and some exciting purchases as well as fun events and moments. In between everything happening in real life, I also read 12 books! I read a new series, reread a favorite series, and started another. I got a new favorite book in it all and everything I read was, at the very least, an enjoyable read. There wasn't anything too complex or full of depth, but with how my reading mood has been this year that's okay.

I hauled only three books this month. I feel like that's a pretty good number as it means I appreciate them more. I also got a lot of non-bookish items this month so, if anything, I feel like I've over-hauled this month in all areas. Of the three books I got, I bought one for myself on preorder and the other two were birthday presents. I'm excited about all of them!
Up first is Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer. This is the sequel to Assistant to the Villain, which I read last year and thoroughly enjoyed. To me, this book feels like the fantasy romance equivalent of a Hallmark movie. Addicting and fun, but not overly complex. The first book ended on a cliffhanger so I am very much anticipating diving into this sequel after I do a reread of the first.
Then I got Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X Kendi. I had a copy of this that I sadly had to leave behind when I moved back from the UK. I knew I wanted to replace it though and continue reading it. I feel it's an important part of history that often gets toned down or completely erased. As an American and white person, I feel it's even more important to read and learn these things to be able to properly understand a lot of how the country and society has been impacted by this history.
Lastly, I got Broken Bonds by J. Bree. This is a book I've read multiple times but have not been able to get a physical copy of yet. I love this series and I want to slowly start getting the paperbacks to add to my bookshelves. My plan is to turn my bookshelves into a space where only my absolute favorite books get to live. And this series definitely deserves a spot. I can't wait to reread this one and give it a nice, thorough annotation while I do so.
Thanks for reading!
xoxo
Lauren
