The House in the Cerulean Sea

TJ Klune

Fantasy

This was another bookstore find I picked up a while back and didn't read until recently. I wasn't sure how interested I would be in the story at first, but I found myself not wanting to stop reading. I stayed up extra late to finish it, and I cried at the end. It was such a sweet story about found families and escaping a life you hate.

A Dark and Drowning Tide

Allison Saft

Romance/Fantasy

I picked this book up at a bookstore after hearing it come up in a recommendation. I will admit, I read this right after surgery so I was pretty out of it and I don't remember too many details. It was an easy book to get into, and the magic was simple but fun. I'm such a sucker for rivals to lovers so I loved the relationship between Lorelai and Sylvia.

The Road

Cormac McCarthy

Science Fiction

This was a book I read for a science fiction class I took recently. This was the last book I read, and out of the last 3 I had to read, it was the only one I actually finished. I enjoyed this one, and I really liked the writing style. It was sad, and slow at times, but I really liked the connection between the boy and the father. I'm a big fan of apocalyptic environments, so I enjoyed how this book got into it.
