1) Heart of Thorns by Bree Barton ★★★★★ I got this in a previous Fairyloot box, but hadn't got round to reading yet and I don't know why I left it so long. I absolutely adored this book and I managed to stick to the buddy read on this one. Review here
2) Leah On The Offbeat by Becky Albertalli ★★★★★ I fell in love with this book. I had already loved Simon, but I loved this one more, because I related to Leah a lot more. Review here
3) City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare ★★★★★ This is actually a re-read, I originally read this series a few years ago but I'm currently buddy reading with three people who have not previously read the series.
4) Onyx & Ivory by Mindee Arnett ★★★★★ Another previous Fairyloot book and again I buddy read this. However, I was guilty of reading ahead and finishing the book before the other book club members... oops.
5) Are We All Lemmings & Snowflakes by Holly Bourne ★★★★★ I finished this a few weeks ago and I still cannot stop raving about how amazing this book is. I think this book is so important for everyone, especially for those who suffer with mental health issues. Review here
6) To Kill A Kingdom by Alexandra Christo ★★★★★ This book was on my shelf for months and I only got round to reading after meeting the amazing author at YALC. I'm annoyed at myself for not reading this sooner, I fell in love with the two main characters, Lira and Elian, almost instantly.
7) The Lost Witch by Melvin Burgess ★ I was disgusted with this book, it is the first Book Box Club book which I've disliked. I think the whole book was poorly written and the topics in the book were not handled properly with no trigger warning whatsoever; grooming, abuse and victim blaming were just some of the issues with this book.
I'll be going away for a week with my book club girls in September, so hopefully that'll help tackle my TBR.
