Space Station Mir

Unfortunately, I missed posting yesterday, but I still wanted to get this out. I'm really excited for summer reading this year! I've been on a reading roll lately, and I'm excited about a lot of books that are coming out this summer or summer-related books that are already out. It's also finally time where I can spend a lot of time sitting and reading outside, which I enjoy every summer.  Books On My Summer 2025 To-Read List The Best Advice by Amy Dressler, Publication Date: July 8, 2025--Last year, I reviewed Dressler's Align the Stars , a modern retelling of Much Ado About Nothing, which I enjoyed, and I'm excited to review the eARC for this one ahead of the publication date. I already love its spin on As You Like It. Lessons in Magic and Disaster by Charlie Jane Anders, Publication Date: August 19, 2025--Already preordered this sure to be amazing and poignant book from one of my favorite authors. Might even get an ARC if the stars align. All the Way to the Ri...

Books Read in May 2025  Allow Me to Introduce Myself by Onyi Nwabineli--Random library browse find, about a woman who was raised as a social media star, the impact it's had on her, and her quest to save her little sister from the same fate. Tina: The Dog Who Changed the World by Niall Harbison--I've followed Harbison on social media for a while, and I love his stories about his rescue dogs in Thailand, so I was happy to buy the book to support. It's a more long-form version of his online stories, and I really enjoyed the stories about Tina and the other dogs.

This one is a really absurd situation--living with the ex-boyfriend of the woman...
