Potential June Reading
Jane of Lantern Hill by L.M. Montgomery
Daylight and Nightmare by G.K. Chesterton
The Silver Branch by Rosemary Sutcliff
Something by D.E. Stevenson
Something by an American poet
A retelling
A graphic novel
#probably the fluffiest of these lists i've made so far#one month i suppose i will branch out beyond montgomery and chesterton#but i found a wonderful copy of jane of lantern hill at the library#the sourcebooks editions that are actually readable instead of tiny text#and it feels like a jane year#i'm about a third of the way through the chesterton book so this is my prompt to finish it#i'm finally going to read sutcliff and this is the one that was at the library branch i was at#i got a ton of stevenson at a garage sale last year and this is the time of year to finally read one#it's graphic novel season (if anyone has recs i'm all ears)#i've had a weird hankering for like longfellow or james whitcomb riley so we'll see what the library offers#and i usually wouldn't put a retelling on this list because that's the kind of thing that always slips in as an easy read#but it feels like the time of year to intentionally read one#whether it's a regular summertime reread of 'valiant' or something new to me#and whether it's a fairy tale or a novel retelling#there are other longer things i'm going to continue (namely vanity fair and the pioneer girl book)#but one of the pointless rules to these lists is that i try not to hold over things from previous months#even if i continue the books the lists have to feel fresh#it's very nuanced and vibes-based please don't analyze it#monthly reading lists
