Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge 2024 - June Update: Lost in the Never Woods & The Boy in the Red Dress
❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋
Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas was one of my more anticipated reads of Book Riot's 2024 Read Harder Challenge. I've really enjoyed all of the author's works and this one also sounded like it would be right up my alley. Luckily, I can now say that this is a new contender for new favorite Peter Pan retelling! I was hooked and I sped right through this. While I enjoyed getting to know Wendy, I loved the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Michael and John as well as the truth behind Peter and Neverland. If you're looking for a cool retelling, you'll have to try this.
My review is also on Goodreads.

I enjoy YA historical mysteries and The Boy in the Red Dress by Kristin Lambert was a fun one. It had me on the edge of my in the beginning but it does start to get bogged down a bit in the middle. My favorite aspect was the setting of Prohibition era New Orleans, but I also enjoyed getting to know the diverse cast. Overall, it's an impressive debut from Kristin Lambert and I hope we get more from this author in the future.

Next Up For July:
Read a manga or manhwa.
My choice: Witch Hat Atelier, Vol. 1 by Kamome Shirahama - I've heard nothing but great things about this manga series. It sounds like so much fun!
Read a comic that has been banned.
My choice: Drama by Raina Telgemeier - I've read other books from this author and I'm looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about here as well.
