Hello, everyone! Today I’m reviewing The Mirror of Simple Souls by Aline Kiner. Puskin Press recently published the English translation of this historical fiction novel, originally written in French in 2017. The setting of the story is one of my favorite periods of French history. So, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to review it!

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
This week’s First Lines Fridays is a recent release that I’ve just borrowed from the library. I’ll be buddy reading it with Celeste @ A Literary Escape soon, and I am looking forward to it even more after reading these first lines.

I’ve done this tag every year that I’ve been blogging, and I always enjoy it. I’m still not quite sure where it originated, but I’ve seen it all over on a bunch of blogs. If you know where it came from, feel free to tag/link them in the comments. I’ve already finished 90 books this year. So, I’ve got plenty of great options to choose from for this tag. Let’s get started. 🙂

Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.
This week’s theme is Top Ten Most Anticipated Books Releasing During the Second Half of 2024. However, I typically do a post in the last week of each month highlighting my anticipated releases for the next month. So, I’m just going to focus on July 2024 book releases for this post and kill two birds with one stone. 🙂 If you are interested in learning about my anticipated releases for June, as well, you can find them here. The covers in this post link to Goodreads in case any of the releases catch your eye!

Hello, everyone! Today I’m reviewing A Darker Mischief by Derek Milman, which will be published on July 2, 2024. I’m a sucker for anything dark academia, and this cover just immediately captured my interest. I just wish the story was as good as the artwork.

This week’s theme is Top Ten Books on My Summer 2024 To-Read List. I’m still not really doing strict TBRs right now, but these are some books I hope to get to this summer. A few of them are ARCs, but most of them are books from my shelves that I need to read. I also took a little time to look back at my Spring 2024 to-read list. I did pretty good and managed to read seven of the ten books I wanted to read in spring. I hope I’m able to do so well during the summer, too! The covers link to Goodreads in case any of them catch your eye!
