hey guys i'm cutting in really fast to say thank you so much to book of the month for sponsoring today's video book of the month is a monthly bookish subscription box where you get to choose one out of five different book picks every single month that gets delivered straight to your door it's usually 14.99 every single month but you can use my own personal code mika august in order to get your first book box for only 9.99 i'm really happy that i now have a like personalized code with them along with my personalize the link down below in the description book of the month is completely risk-free so if you don't like the picks for that month or you just don't have the funds you can always skip ahead and not get charged for it and they always have the best titles from young adult to adult fantasy fiction romance etc they sent me over their five book pics for the month of june and i get to show them to you all and i'm really excited because they have some really good book pics for this month so the first book is the maidens and i've heard incredible things about this one it has to do with greek mythology and murder and it's also a thriller i believe and i've just been seeing like five star reviews every single time i go on twitter and every single time i look anywhere so i think book of the month did an amazing job with picking this for this month because it's definitely a popular release i also know that the twists and turns for this book are insane so that has me really excited so the next book is half sick of shadows by laura sebastian and lori sebastian also wrote ash princess which i really really really enjoyed it had a lot of basic fantasy tropes in that book but she wrote the heck out of them like i ate it up when i read it and it has so many tabs it is an arthurian retelling and those have really been interesting me recently so i'm excited to read this so the next book that we have is malibu rising by taylor jenkins reed and i have no idea that book of the month was including this in this month's picks which is incredible because i love love love her books i went to a taylor jenkins reads signing like a few years ago and it was the best she's like the sweetest human being ever and then the next book that we have is sky falling by mia mckenzie let's talk about the covers for this month as well like that is beautiful and then the last book pick for the month of june is another one that i'm really excited for i feel like i keep saying that but i promise you guys these book pics are so good instructions for love by nicola yoon i again love nicola yoon everything everything is literally like one of the cutest contemporary novels i have ever read and this one follows a girl who basically does not believe in love whatsoever and then she meets this guy who she decides to enter a ballroom dance competition with i love stories where the main character doesn't really believe in love or like one of the love interests don't believe in love and they kind of have to like overcome that and understand why and get to the root of it i just love it and nicola yoon just really really knows how to tell a great story so i can't wait to read this and look at the back it's so pretty all the flowers on it so again if any of those sounded interesting you can use the code mika august and my link down below in my description in order to get your first book box for 9.99 i swear by book of the month i always love their book pics and i appreciate them so much for sponsoring this video okay that's enough of me rambling i hope you guys enjoy the

even have my phone with me um i left it on the counter it was dying like it was literally on like three percent so i was like okay you've got to charge i think it's like 10 p.m i feel like i didn't get that many clips today because it was just a long day we were walking a lot we did a lot we ate not that much which is kind of upsetting but i'm just really really really tired we dropped becca off just like 30 minutes ago at grand central station and it's kind of upsetting because i brought this book for her simon teen sent me an arc of how moon france fell in love with the universe and she really really really has been wanting to read it i was like oh like i have it so i could just bring it to you we came back to the hotel and like my bag was really heavy so we just like put it down but then she ended up not coming back but i want to show you guys what i got from the strand i also took some really really really cute pictures over on instagram so if you don't follow me you can go do that we just have like an overall cute day anyways enough talking i'm going to show you all the books i got today so the first one is this mini story it's a novel by josephine ruby and it's called daphne and velma the vanishing girl it seemed really really cute i honestly thought it was a graphic novel but i'm looking at it now and it's literally just like a mini story so the next book that i got was the mary shelley club by goldie mel debasque i'm bringing just my head i asked her did you wash your hair no i actually just wanted for a dip i was out this one just kind of seems really creepy and i think that i'm gonna really really like it so yes the last book is laura dean keeps breaking up with me and i've honestly seen this like everywhere i feel like not as much recently but before like a few years ago i saw this everywhere on booktube i was always really intrigued because the cover is just like really really pretty and like it's pink and like even the artwork on the inside this seems like it's gonna be a really fun read i don't sound excited about that at all but i promise i am so yeah those are the three books that i got from the store today and if we go to barnes noble or another bookstore at all during this trip i will definitely vlog that so i completely forgot to film an outro to this video but thank you guys so much for watching and if you watch to this point make sure to leave down a star emoji in the comments and i will see you all in my next one come on east and west i'm racking up on my breath power on me i'm feeling just like a tesla too
