So many good ones that hadn’t been on my radar! Can’t believe I missed The Gifted School (right up my alley) — will have to check that one out along with Culpability which also sounds great.

The Gifted School was so, so good. And as I said, surprised me with how much I liked it as a non-parent, which is a real testament to the storytelling.

I literally *just* finished These Summer Storms and it was fine but I didn't love it as much as I hoped I would.

On my list is A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna (author of A Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, which I loved) out July 15!

Oh no! What a bummer. I'll probably still check it out, but rein in my expectations. And YES, A WITCHES GUIDE is on next week's installment. Excited for it!

It wasn't bad but it didn't grab me like I hoped it would. I can see it being this summer's The Wedding People though, it's got a similar vibe to it (I think it's because it's a genre soup - a bit of mystery, a bit of family drama, a bit of romance etc).

Blue Bistro is my favorite. 28 Summers if you're looking for something summer-y but sad!
