Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
This massive orange book is an action packed fantasy thriller full of engaging female characters and DRAGONS! What more could you really want out of a book? Tensions are high; Queen Sabran has yet to give birth to a daughter, dragons are rising as well as their riders, and a dangerous evil is on the rise. Female led fantasy is always a win in my book! Ladies and dragons, what more could you ask for??!

Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Daisy Jones, is potentially the hottest rock chick of all time and her band The Six is on its way to becoming a huge deal in the rock n’roll scene. When they are brought together, beautiful music is born but so is drama, lore, and addiction. Each character is re-accounting their experiences throughout the book, and so far I am completely obsessed!
