On the Blog<\/strong><\/h2>\nA lot<\/strong> happened on Kait Plus Books in June! I added a new color to my design scheme, changed the fonts and graphics I use on my posts, published my first bookish quiz, started being a more active member of the bookish community, posted a few reviews, revamped my review format… I feel like there’s more that I’m forgetting. I’m sure it’ll come to me sometime this week and I’ll edit this then, but until I remember, take a look at my posts from June! (Now organized by category!)<\/p>\nReviews<\/a><\/h3>\n\n- The Exact Opposite of Okay<\/em> by Laura Steven<\/a><\/li>\n

Off the Blog<\/strong><\/h2>\n*takes deep breath* I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING REQUIRING LONG TERM COMMITMENT.<\/strong> Now if I could just repeat that a few dozen times, maybe it’ll stick in my head and I’ll actually remember it next time. It’s been a long month of forgetting to do things I need to do (like book swaps and getting health insurance and texting my friends), remembering that I need to do them, having panic and anxiety attacks about not having done them yet, calming myself down, forgetting about them again, and just basically repeating that cycle over and over and over. So I am terribly sorry if I haven’t texted, emailed, or written you back this month. (or, you know, longer than this month) I just… can’t. right now. But hopefully I’ll be able to soon. *fingers crossed*<\/p>\nJune also means that the Summer Reading Program has started at work! We’ve been crazy busy the past couple weeks, and I know it’s only going to get busier as the summer goes on. I’m currently in the middle of planning a jungle themed escape room for kids, so that’s fun! And slightly overwhelming! I was also excited to find out that I can participate in the Staff SRP this year! YA and Children’s books still don’t count, but the books we recommend don’t have to be books we read this summer. So I’ve got a list of every adult fiction and non-fiction book I’ve read, and it is… eight books long. But I get to participate, so yay! Despite thinking I was going to do it last weekend, I still haven’t signed up for my local library’s SRP yet. Maybe this week. Hopefully.<\/p>\n

Fiercely independent and smart, Zora Emerson wants to change the world. She's excited to be attending a prestigious summer program, even if she feels out of place among her privileged, mostly white classmates. So she's definitely not expecting to feel a connection to Owen, who's an actual prince of an island off the coast of England. But Owen is funny, charming...and undeniably cute. Zora can't ignore the chemistry between them. When Owen invites Zora to be his date at his big brother's big royal wedding, Zora is suddenly thrust into the spotlight, along with her family and friends. Everyone is talking about her, in real life and online, and while Owen is used to the scrutiny, Zora's not sure it's something she can live with. Can she maintain her sense of self while moving between two very different worlds? And can her feelings for Owen survive and thrive in the midst of the crazy? Find out in this charming romantic comedy that's like The Princess Diaries<\/i> for a new generation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
