This was a big month for me, reading wise, both in terms of pages read (thanks ACOTAR series) and DNFs logged. That is, there were two novels that I started by did not finish this month.

Besides those two, though, I have some great recommendations for you below, including one of my favorite books I’ve read this year: Morgan is my Name by Sophie Keetch!

There are a few greats in the historical fiction world, and Alison Weir is certainly one of them. Weir is a British author and historian, focusing on English royal women. Largely, her work focuses on the Tudor dynasty. Writing both fiction and non-fiction, Weir creates well-rounded, robust characters out of what might otherwise simply seem like historical names. And Weir’s Six Tudor Queens series is no exception. I’ve devoured this series over the past few months and am eager to share about it here!
