Whatcha Reading? June 2023, Part Two

Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! We’re wrapping up June with our second Whatcha Reading post of the month.
Lara : After a string of DNFs, I’ve resorted to an author I can trust and so far it’s solid: The Last Close Call by Laura Griffin . ( A | BN | K ) Her work isn’t going to give me Good Book Noise but I can relax into this book and trust her to deliver a good story.
Claudia : I just finished We Could Be So Good and it’s a lovely book! Just right for Pride Month as well.
Sarah : I am listening to two different books – An Impossible Imposter , aka yes I’m still listening to the Speedwell books, and also Better Living Through Birding , ( A | BN | K ) a nonfiction by Christian Cooper. You might recognize his name as he was the Black man birding in Central Park who had the police called on him because he was…looking at birds.
A | BN | K | AB So far it’s insightful and lovely, and since I already use the Merlin app from Cornell to identify the birds in my yard by sound (and it’s nearly the same birds every time but do I use sound ID to figure out who is chatting? Yes I do) I figure binoculars and bird watching are probably the next stage of my journey.
Elyse : I just started The Blighted Stars by Megan E. O’Keefe ( A | BN | K ) last night. I need a good space opera as a palate cleanser.
Amanda : I’m reading that one right now too!
A | BN | K Elyse : Twinsies!
Shana : I am continuing my Rebecca Roanhorse audiobook party, and now listening to Fevered Star . ( A | BN | K | AB ) I’m totally sucked in so far. I’m also reading Return to Hummingbird Way by Reese Ryan . This book is super popular at my library, it felt like winning the lottery when my hold came in. So far it’s entertaining. The beauty queen heroine is described as sounding exactly like Whitley from A Different World . Honestly her personality overlaps too, although I don’t remember Whitley getting caught checking out the crotch bulge of a hot dude.
