May and June Top Five:

1. Favorite BookMalibu Rising was so, so good and The People We Meet on Vacation was also fantastic. It was a great month for engaging and memorable beach reads.

2.  Biggest Surprise: The Lost Apothecary took me by surprise. It was such a great mash-up of fantasy and historical fiction. I really enjoyed the audio version!

3.  Biggest Disappointment: The Summer of Lost and Found was a big disappointment for me, mostly because it focused a too much on COVID. I wasn't ready to relive it all, which is a shame because Mary Alice Monroe usually writes such solid beach reads.

5.  Favorite Part of May and June: My family's trip to Disney was, hands down, the best part of May and June. It was so magical and I can't wait to go back.
