June Top 5

July is tomorrow. Which means summer is going way too fast. Also - it means I didn't get a ton of reading in this month. It's been crazy busy, but awesome. I love summer in New York. I've been reading mostly NA lately - they read so quickly and I can't get enough! Which really makes me wonder how I've read so little lately. But oh well, here are my top 5 from June - or my top 4 and Jackie's top read. 

1. Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
Duh. Of course this is my number one. Crown of Midnight is brilliant. This series is just so incredible and Maas is definitely writing on another level here.

2. Star Cursed by Jessica Spotswood
I love Jessica Spotswood's world and her take on witches. In the second book in this series, she just brings your emotions out. I was so tense and frustrated (but in a good way) through the whole book. And the end.... Read my review here.

3. Bad Rep by A. Meredith Walters
I think A. Meredith Walters is one of the best NA authors out there right now. Her books are so intense and she really knows how to write relationships. Bad Rep just got me so worked up and it kept surprising me. And Jordan...is just freak-out worthy. It's so good. If you haven't read A. Meredith Walters yet, I suggest you get on that. 

4. Wait for You by J. Lynn
I started this and didn't expect to like it. It seems pretty typical - normal sheltered girl literally runs into the hottest guy on campus and he starts pursuing her... Yeah, I was a little worried. But it was amazing how it swept me away and I cared so much about these characters, I just hope they'll be happy forever. 

5. Falling Kingdoms 
Jackie says: I was in the mood for a good fantasy book when I picked this up, and I was not disappointed. The world in the book was SO great. I absolutely love how the author doesn't hold back--even when I think I want her to. The characters are complex, and the whole story is excellent. Stay tuned for my review on this one.
