Magical Readathon: Orilium - Choose Your Own Adventure: Year In Aeldia 2025, The Boardgame - Junly Update

     

Happy Saturday everyone! Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the book I read in July for Choose Your Own Adventure: Year In Adelia, The Boardgame, an additional challenge to G. @ Book Roast's Magical Readathon.  You can see my full tbr here.  Without further ado, check out my mini review below:

❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ 

Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman is a new favorite!  Although it took a bit of getting used to, the format and overall atmosphere of this really ended up working for me.  I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but I will say that in the best way possible Bela and her family should have called the Winchesters for help with whole situation, or maybe even the Warrens!  Also, I'm very excited that this is being adapted into a movie - the movie will be called Other Mommy and it will be released on May 8th, 2026.  I already can't wait to see it!

My review is also on Goodreads and The StoryGraph.

Next Month:

August - 8D Stargaze (you reach the part of the desert that is the furthest from any city, where the skies are the clearest! It’s a perfect mild night too. You lay down in your sleeping bag and spend the night stargazing, star mapping and dreaming) - read a book with stars on the cover

My choice: Sistersong by Lucy Holland - I'm always on the look out for a mythology retelling and this sounds like one I can't miss.  The stars are little but they're there!

Have you read this book and are you participating in this challenge?  As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
