The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine, Vol. 1 by Grrr, IRINBI

Thank you NetGalley and Yen Press for a copy of this wholesome manhwa. I loved this one so much! I think any reader would love this. Which book do you belong to in your afterlife? That is what happens to our protagonist who is a lover of romantasy, when after her death she gets thrown into an action packed dungeon fantasy world. I know for a fact I’d never survive in any of the books I read, so I cannot wait to see what other adventures await Ailette next! 

Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune

Thank you Net Galley and Pan MacMillan for an early excerpt of this book!

I NEED THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW! Just the first four chapters reminded me why house in the cerulean sea is my favorite book of all time. September can’t come fast enough to be back fully with all the gremlins and their antics, even if it’s shaping to be a bit heartbreaking as well!
