Spell the Month in Books June 2024
Afternoon all!
Welcome all! Can you imagine that it is June? I know I can’t. I guess it helps (or doesn’t) that the weather still feels like April at most. Hopefully this month’s weather will get better and start feeling like June/Summer.
This month is just 4 letters.. and well I had a hard time finding some of these. The U and the J especially. In the end I did manage to dig deep and find a title for the U book, but wasn’t so lucky with the J and I went with an author this time! Hopefully in July I will have some books with J, as soon as I encounter one with reading I will have to bookmark it for that month.
I still had fun searching though, haha. This time I picked one library book (the graphic novel with the girl in the mirror), 2 books I need to buy (New Girl and Under This Red Rock), and one book that is on my TBR (My Roommate is a Vampire).

True love is at stake in this charming, debut romantic comedy.
Cassie Greenberg loves being an artist, but it’s a tough way to make a living. On the brink of eviction, she’s desperate when she finds a too-good-to-be-true apartment in a beautiful Chicago neighborhood. Cassie knows there has to be a catch—only someone with a secret to hide would rent out a room for that price.
Of course, her new roommate Frederick J. Fitzwilliam is far from normal. He sleeps all day, is out at night on business, and talks like he walked out of a regency romance novel. He also leaves Cassie heart-melting notes around the apartment, cares about her art, and asks about her day. And he doesn’t look half bad shirtless, on the rare occasions they’re both home and awake. But when Cassie finds bags of blood in the fridge that definitely weren’t there earlier, Frederick has to come clean…
Cassie’s sexy new roommate is a vampire. And he has a proposition for her.
Neely’s monsters don’t always follow her rules, so when the little girl under her bed, the man in her closet, and the disembodied voice that shadows her every move become louder, she knows she’s in trouble.
With a history of mental illness in her family, and the suicide of her older brother heavy on her mind, Neely takes a job as a tour guide in the one place her monsters can’t follow—the caverns. There she can find peace. There she can pretend to be normal. There . . . she meets Mila.
Mila is everything Neely isn’t—beautiful, strong, and confident. As the two become closer, Neely’s innocent crush grows into something more. When a midnight staff party exposes Neely to drugs, she follows Mila’s lead . . . only to have her hallucinations escalate.
When Mila is found brutally murdered in the caverns, Neely has to admit that her memories of that night are vague at best. With her monsters now out in the open, and her grip on reality slipping, Neely must figure out who killed Mila . . . and face the possibility that it might have been her.
