Guess who is joining again!!!! Blodeuedd! Huzzah! Welcome back mah friend! You have been missed. 

We'll be doing just three categories: best book/audio, best movie, and best cover. Changing it up again! 

Here are our favorites for the Month of June.

Favorite Movie of the Month:

Blodeuedd...............Murder Mystery (2019)

"A few laughs, Luke Evans, and nice for relaxing your brain for a while."

Mine..............I Am Mother (2019)

"I had a tough time picking this month. I had two realllly strong films in completely different genres. I think this one is just a touch better since it has a plot I normally meh at...robots and end of world mumbojumbo. However, this one took that to a different level and it was really refreshing and really good!"

Best Book of the month:

Mine.............Hold Me by Courtney Milan

"The characters were interesting and complex. The story was fun and made me feel feelings. I loved the blend of serious subjects. Super good!"

Blodeuedd's...........................Priest of Lies by Peter McLean

"I had to read this one at once. It is so easy to read, despite its darkness. Awesome fantasy series."

Best Cover of the Month:

Mine is to the left and Blodeuedd's is to the right

This cover kicks butt! Just so eye-catching!

  

Best cover of the month cos cute
