When Eris faked her death, she thought she had left her old life as the heir to the galaxy's most ruthless empire behind. But her recruitment by the Novantaen Resistance, an organization opposed to the empire's voracious expansion, throws her right back into the fray. Eris has been assigned a new mission: to infiltrate a spaceship ferrying deadly cargo and return the intelligence gathered to the Resistance. But her partner for the mission, mechanic and hotshot pilot Cloelia, bears an old grudge against Eris, making an already difficult infiltration even more complicated. When they find the ship, they discover more than they bargained for: three fugitives with firsthand knowledge of the corrupt empire's inner workings. Together, these women possess the knowledge and capabilities to bring the empire to its knees. But the clock is ticking: the new heir to the empire plans to disrupt a peace summit with the only remaining alien empire, ensuring the empire’s continued expansion. If they can find a way to stop him, they will save the galaxy. If they can't, millions may die.

I don't know exactly what I'm gonna do yet (I KNOW it doesn't have to be the same every week. But my brain does not! It likes routines!), but today I've got my June wrap up and a look forward at some books I hope to pick up in July.

Whoops!\\ \\ BLACK SALT QUEEN\* - I've been meaning to read this fantasy about royalty, romance, and betrayal for awhile and the sequel recently came out so I better get to it!\\ \\ I LOVE YOU DON'T DIE\* - I'd intended to read this for Pride Bingo and didn't get there. I adored Song's debut CHLORINE and am looking forward to more of that.\\ \\ THIS PRINCESS KILLS MONSTERS\* - Another Pride Bingo fail. I've been very into cozy, comedic fantasy lately so I'm ready to wrap myself up in this one.\\ \\ OUT OF STEP, INTO YOU\* - The last of my Pride Bingo intendeds. I thought Burch's debut YA novel a few years ago was seriously underrated, so watch out for me yelling about this one soon.\\ \\ **Books I'm carrying over from June:** My current reads are Love In A F-cked Up World by Dean Spade and Coldwire\* by Chloe Gong.\\ \\ **Other miscellaneous July reads:** I run an in-person book club that reads spicy books and I our July pick is The Pairing by Casey McQuiston, which will be a reread for me. I also read the first chapter of Murder In The Dressing Room\* by Holly Star yesterday. There will be other audiobooks because I can't commute without them, but I haven't picked any yet.\\ \\ Is that a packed enough TBR for you or what!](https://caseythereader.binderybooks.com/item/RjgobKuiwId4ySBsPVwi/) [June Wrap Up + July Hopefuls](https://caseythereader.binderybooks.com/item/RjgobKuiwId4ySBsPVwi/) * * * 26 books 4 [Casey the Reader\\ \\ Casey\\ \\ • Jun 2](https://caseythereader.binderybooks.com/) [ANNOUNCING FOUND FAMILY BOOK CLUB](https://caseythereader.binderybooks.com/item/vybEHgm1aGEhOf3fbUDt/) ANNOUNCING FOUND FAMILY BOOK CLUB Hi friends! I’m so excited to announce that I’m starting a book club! This club will focus on books featuring found families - one of my very favorite tropes. Our first pick is SEVEN DEVILS by L.R. Lam and Elizabeth May. I’ve had this one on my TBR for ages, and it seems like the perfect book to kick off this club. I’ve put the description below. Book club will be held asynchronous chat style in my Discord server, which you can join by visiting my Bindery page linked in my bio. Discussion day will be the last Monday of every month, but the channel will be open for chatting before and after that date, so there’s no need to be available at a specific time for the discussion. I hope you’ll join us! Synopsis: When Eris faked her death, she thought she had left her old life as the heir to the galaxy’s most ruthless empire behind.
