And more. And now imma add The Pisces and The seas to the list! Thankyou 😂 ☀️

My friends recommended the Red Rising series so I’ll definitely be starting that soon! I have quite a few books I’ve been meaning to read but I think I want to read Seven Days in June, What You’re Looking For Can Be Found in the Library, and maybe Funny Story will be my first Emily Henry book!!

I really enjoyed Spells for Forgetting but it's a better match for "end of summer" reading as it takes place during "apple harvest season". I read Malice House last year for Summerween and I really enjoyed it - it delivered on the spooky. I adored Remarkably Bright Creatures. My summer reading list is mostly focused on "reading books I own" but I highly suspect I'll end up grabbing a bunch of new releases from my library as well. I do have a stack of books picked out for the Summerween prompts.

Ok so I have bought my 5 Summerween books..Hollowed by Jessica Taylor which is a Sleepy Hollow twist novel. Shade by Merrier Destefano which is a story about Frankenstein and other classic monsters that come to life after dark at a villa through stories the guest at the party tell. Psycho by Robert Bloch which is a retelling of the movie but little different. Salt and Broom by Sharon Lynn Fisher which is a twist on Jane Eyre and Murder in the Villa by Susan Kieran Lewis. A few of these are only 100 pages which is very manageable. I hope I enjoy them all!
