beach read by emily henry (review)
This was so much better than I ever could have hoped.
the anti-virginity pact by katie wismer (review)
At long last, I finally read The Anti-Virginity Pact by Katie Wismer.
Katie’s YouTube channel, Katesbookdate, is one of my favorite channels on the website, so when she announced TAVP, I was STOKED. I actually got approved for an e-ARC on Netgalley, but I didn’t download it in time 😦 Then I preordered it from Barnes and Noble and didn’t receive it until over a week after publication (which was incredibly irritating).
I finalllllyyyyyy got to reading it today and finished it in one sitting.

girls of paper and fire by natasha ngan (thoughts)
Girls of Paper and Fire was an interesting experience for me.
I rarely read fantasy which means that when I picked this one up, I knew it was going to be hard. Transitioning from someone who doesn’t read fantasy to somoene who does requires a lot of brain power that you wouldn’t realize unless you’ve experienced it. You can’t just read the words anymore. Now you have to rewire your brain to be in the world in front of you. Because each magic system is so different and complex, I generally read more of urban fantasy if anything.

lily and dunkin by donna gephart (review)
This week I read Lily and Dunkin, thinking that it would be a cute middle grade story about the friendship between two outcasts. I was wrong.

For Pride-a-thon, I read Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann, and I was hypeeeedddd for it. I had wanted to read it since it came out in 2018, and I was finally getting around to it. I was genuinely expecting it to be 5 stars….that didn’t happen

if more people chose heroism… (renegades by marissa meyer review)
This was one of the most suprising 5 star reads I have ever read.
I was obviously hoping I would like it, but I didn’t think I would love it THIS much. Like, it sounded interesting. Superheroes, morally grey characters, dystopian society, anarchy? Sign me up! But somehow, I was just expecting it to fall flat. Thankfully, it didn’t.

the trials of morrigan crow…nevermoor book review
I had been wanting to read this book for a longgggg time. I remember first hearing about it from Regan at PeruseProject back in 2017, and I was instantly intrigued. Unfortunately, life happened, and I never picked it up. I didn’t even purchase it until this February. But when I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down.

Nice Try, Jane Sinner by Lianne Oelke was one of the most unique novels I’ve ever read, and I absolutely adored it. Continue reading “nice try, jane sinner (review)”
