Another week, another five picks! This week's Top 5 Wednesday is Books You Wish Had Sequels and I had so much fun choosing my selection! In general, people are afraid of sequels because usually they don't live up to their expectations. But sometimes, a book is so good or the ending is so unsatisfying that a second book to a standalone or an extra book to a trilogy/series is needed and wanted. Endings matter a lot to me, in my opinion they can make you love a book you hated its first three quarters or hate a book you loved all its chapters. Let's get started, here are my picks:
Top 5 Wednesday #1 || July 6th || Favourite Books Outside Your Comfort Zone
Let's all pretend I stole a Tardis and went back a week in time (Is that how things work? I've never watched Doctor Who). This is the present me taking over the past me who has no idea of the future me's plans to do something productive. I've always loved watching T5W videos and the topics were always unique and now that it's summer, I thought it would be a lovely idea to engage myself with this weekly meme. I am the last person you should come to if you seek any sort of commitment but I would love to challenge myself to be fully devoted to something that isn't food or sleep.
Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly book meme, each week we are given a certain topic and we basically give our top 5 picks for it. It was created by Lainey from Gingerreadslainy and currently hosted by Samantha from Thoughtsonthomes. You can look up for more informations on the Goodreads group, Top 5 Wednesday.
I wanted July to be my first month, unfortunately I'm a week behind so today I'll be posting two different topics: July 6th and July 13th. Let's jump right into it:

Six Of Crows Plot:
"Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone...
A convict with a thirst for revenge.
A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager.
A runaway with a privileged past.
A spy known as the Wraith.
A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.
Kaz's crew are the only ones who might stand between the world and destruction—if they don't kill each other first."

So here's the thing, I realized that I don't have the patience nor the time to review books, It's the middle of the month to do hauls or wrap ups, I'm not committed enough to start Top 5 Wednesday or some-other-day-some-thingy-thing and I've been doing a lot of tags lately and adding another one just makes me repetitive. Usually, I'm a very creative person (I'm not afraid to admit it) but senior year took all of my creativity and replaced it with math and physics' equations. I was this close to giving up until I stumbled upon a video by the lovely booktuber Sophie which is 'A to Z Bookish Survey'. It was originally created by Perpetualpageturner and it's a survey corresponding every letter of the alphabet with book-related questions. Here we go!

Finally I decided it was time for a Book Haul! This is not necessarily a February Book Haul because I know I won't be able to post anything on this blog for the next few months. I didn't buy much to be honest because I was on a very low budget but fortunately I didn't find anything that interesting so I guess being broke didn't matter after all. I got ten books in total this month so without further ado, here are my newly adopted babies:

__________________________________
Synopsis:
Postcard-perfect Jar Island is home to charming tourist shops, pristine beaches, amazing oceanfront homes—and three girls secretly plotting revenge.
KAT is sick and tired of being bullied by her former best friend.
LILLIA has always looked out for her little sister, so when she discovers that one of her guy friends has been secretly hooking up with her, she’s going to put a stop to it.
MARY is perpetually haunted by a traumatic event from years past, and the boy who’s responsible has yet to get what’s coming to him.
None of the girls can act on their revenge fantasies alone without being suspected. But together…anything is possible.
With an alliance in place, there will be no more “I wish I’d said…” or “If I could go back and do things differently...” These girls will show Jar Island that revenge is a dish best enjoyed together.
