Hello, sweethearts!
We have the end of June, which means it's the start of summer holidays (at least for me). It will also be my birthday in six weeks (I'm joining the adult club, yay). I'd also like to apologise that I won't be very active during the next month because I have a job! I will try to write posts on weekends, but I cannot promise anything. But we still have time for that, let's focus on a present matter. The books I've read this month.
Last month, in May, I've read many brilliant books. Let's have a look if I had a lucky hand when it came to picking books to read this month as well!
In June, I've read six books!

This coming-of-age story is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. It made me happy one second, and then sad only a few sentences later. I will only say that I loved it desperately, and you can read more in the review.

Guys. I'm sorry there's no review on this book. I really am. But I feel like I wouldn't be able to put in words what I felt while reading this. It would be an icoherrent mess, and I know better than that. I'm just going to say that I absolutely adored every single sentence of this book with all that was left of my breaking heart. I loved it, I loved it, I loved it. I love the damn writer Benton James Kessler (even though I won't ever have any love life with the standards he had set), and I love the damn teacher Fallon O'Neil. I highly recommend this novel to everybody. Really, go, read it.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Rating: 5/5
Could you believe I had spent my whole life without reading the series until now? I feel like I'm getting back to my childhood while reading these books. I loved it. I loved the golden trio, Harry and Ron and Hermione. I loved my precious pranksters Fred and George. I loved Neville, my poor baby Neville with his always-lost toad. And Hagrid, and Professor McGonagall. I cannot express with words how much I'm enjoying the world of Harry Potter.
Hogwarts sure feels like home.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
J. K. Rowling
Genre: fantasy
First published: 1998
Pages: 384
Language: English
Type: paperback
Rating: 5/5
I simply love this. I love myself for finally picking these books up.
I canot say that the Chamber of Secrets is my *favourite* book of the HP series (not even in the film versions), it's actually the exact opposite, but it's still absolutely perfect. I love the idea. Sometimes I even hated the fact that I need to sleep which means not reading for eight hours. Now, do I need to mention every single one of my favourite characters? Harry, Hermione (I seriously love the book Hermione so much!), Ron (I feel you with the spiders, mate), Freg & George, Neville, Hagrid, McGonagall, gosh, I even enjoyed the terrible Lockhart (my favourite part about him being in the book was the teasing from the other Professors, though). I couldn't give this book any less than five stars.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
J. K. Rowling
Genre: fantasy
First published: 1999
Pages: 462
Language: English
Type: paperback
Rating: 5/5
It's amazing that my personal favourite in this series has also the most beautiful cover I have ever seen. Seriously, do you see that? It's so pretty. And its content is just as brilliant.
Why is this my favourite book in the series, you ask? First, it introduces one of my most favourite characters, Sirius Black. Second, it introduces another one of my most favourite characters, Remus Lupin. These are almost reasons enough, huh? But there's also Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang, and Minerva, my beloved Minerva, being #savage. And of course my two loves, Fred and George. It's so perfect that I literally cannot even find words that would be enough to describe how perfect the book is in my eyes.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Genre: fantasy
First published: 2000
Pages: 628
Language: English
Type: Paperback
Rating: /5
The fourth year in Hogwarts for Harry. The fourth book of one of the best series I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I really don't think I can do J. K. Rowling justice by saying she's one of the best authors I've ever read books by. This book was so, so good!
What about you? How was your June in books? Any really good ones you would recommend? Have you bought any great books this month? And were some books published that you had been really looking forward to? Share them with me!

Bože, ty máš na ty knihy takové štěstí, samé pětky ;) To je paráda, ale tak na druhou stranu, když jsou čtyři z nich Potteři, tak se není čemu divit! Ještě jednou musím napsat, jak moc ti závidím to první čtení...
ReplyDeleteJá brzy taky plánuji sepsat své sumarizační články, prozradím proto jen, že jsem přečetla taky šest knih (teda jestli dneska tu jednu dočtu :D) a pořídila osm a ze všech mám samozřejmě obří radost :)
Měj se krásně, Kačí a užij si zbytek HP jízdy!
Taky se považuju za šťastlivce, i když, jak jsi řekla, když jsou čtyři ze šesti Potteři, tak ani nejde nemít dobrý čtecí měsíc, hm?
DeletePodle toho, co říkáš, tak máš moc pěknou bilanci! (Já jsem si bláhově myslela, že dneska ještě stihnu 400 stran z Fénixova řádu, ale nestihla jsem.) Na tvoje sumarizační články se už MOC těším!
Děkuju moc za milý komentář, Haničko. Měj se nádherně, přeju (radši dopředu, protože nevím, jak moc budu nebo nebudu aktivní) krásné prázdniny a hodně moc dobrých knih!
Nádherná bilance, tu Potter-vlnu Ti závidím, já bych to taky chtěla číst všechno najednou a poprvé :)) Přeju, ať se i v červenci daří, užij si krásné prázdniny plné skvělých zážitků :))
ReplyDeleteDěkuju, děkuju! I tobě přeju nádherné léto, krásně si to užívej! <3
