#and try to keep summaries/reviews to a minimum in order to accomodate. 25 in one

I've started my keepblr summer reading bingo!!! I'm going for hard mode (every book can only count for one square) and a full blackout if I can!

Books under the cut:

A book about the ocean: A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid (6/16)

Follows Effy Sayre, who's chosen to design a house inspired by her favorite author, who's recently passed. But when she arrives at the site, the edges between real and fiction begin to blur, and the sea is crawling in. I really liked the atmosphere, prose, and premise of this. Unfortunately some of the execution really threw me off (happening to find exactly what they need), and I didn't like how everything was resolved, so I'd say 3/5 perhaps?

A book under 300 pages: The Grandmother Paradox, The Cassandra Complex, and The Causality Loop by Wendy Nikel (6/17-6/18)

These are books 2-4 of the A Place in Time series, which is essentially about one fucked up family tree of time travelers trying to preserve their timeline. Each book was about 90 pages, and none of them were good </3. 1/5 stars. No character depth, lackluster conflict, juvenile prose, everyone's stupid, the worldbuilding's meh. I'm genuinely a little mad I even bothered there's literally nothing worth it. sorry wendy it's not for me </3
