12 Books 12 Friends Reading Challenge 2024 - June Update

Happy Thursday (and Independence Day in the United States) everyone!  Today, I'm sharing my June update for the 12 Books 12 Friends Reading Challenge 2024.  In June, I managed to complete 2 books for a total 12 out of the 12 books.  I can't believe I've already finished this challenge!  Thanks for all the recommendations!  Without further ado, keep reading to see my thoughts on the books I read in June:

❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ ❋ 

Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent was awesome! I'm glad it was recommended to me for the 12 Books 12 Friends Challenge.  I knew absolutely nothing about it going in, and I highly recommend going into this story blind.  I will say though that it kind of reminds me of both Room by Emma Donoghue and Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.

My review is also on Goodreads.

❋ ❋

The Proof of the Pudding (Her Royal Spyness #17) by Rhys Bowen is the most recent installment of a long running series.  I haven't read a single one of the previous books in it though. I definitely should have started with book one because I really liked the idea of these but I was a little too far out of the loop. Hopefully by the time I catch up it will make more sense.
