Again, three book from the library, but this time also one book that I actually bought! I stood with it in my hands in the bookshop for about five minutes debating whether or not to get it there instead of on the bookdepository, but we need to support bookstores too!! (Also it looked so pretty I didn't want to put it back down) UNITED AS ONE (LORIEN LEGACIES #7) - PITTACUS LORE SYNOPSIS: The Mogadorians have invaded Earth. Their warships loom over our most populated cities, and no country will risk taking them head on. The Garde are all that stand in the way, but they’ll need an army of their own to win this fight. They’ve teamed up with the US military, but it might not be enough. The Garde need reinforcements, and they’ve found them in the most unexpected place. Teenagers from across the globe, like John Smith’s best friend, Sam, have developed abilities. So John and the others must get to them before the Mogs, because if they don’t their enemies will use these gifted teens for their own sinister plan. But after all the Mogadorians have taken from John—his home, his family, his friends, and the person he loves most—he might not want to put any more lives in danger. He’s got nothing left to lose, and he’s just discovered he has been given an incredible new Legacy. Now he can turn himself into the ultimate weapon. So will he risk his life to save the world, or will he realize that power in numbers will save us all? This is 100% one of my favourite series ever, which is why I actually bought it instead of waiting for my library to get it. This is the last book in the series and I'm sad to see it end, but I'm so excited to find out what happens! ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS - STEPHANIE PERKINS SYNOPSIS: Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris--until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful, Étienne has it all...including a serious girlfriend. But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss? This is one of those books that is so hyped up by the Bookstagram community that I just have to read it or I'll feel left out! ;) LOLA AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR - STEPHANIE PERKINS SYNOPSIS: Lola Nolan is a budding costume designer, and for her, the more outrageous, sparkly, and fun the outfit, the better. And everything is pretty perfect in her life (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood. When Cricket, a gifted inventor, steps out from his twin sister's shadow and back into Lola's life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door. The second book by Stephanie Perkins that the Bookstagram community loves. There's a third book called Isla and the Happily Ever After but I don't read as much hype about that, and my library doesn't have it. If I really love these two, I might request it at my library or buy it myself! I'LL GIVE YOU THE SUN - JANDY NELSON SYNOPSIS: Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else—an even more unpredictable new force in her life. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world. Another book that I've seen a lot of hype about. It's quite big so it might take me a while, but the plot sounds interesting + LGBT representation which is always good! That's it for my June haul! Let me know if you've read any of these books and what you thought of them!
