October Wrap-Up // 39 Books?!?

what i love about these books is that becca and chrissy christa ritchie do not shy away from letting you know that lily and lo are codependent their relationship is toxic it's unhealthy and that they need a support system

i do like the development and the love that is shared amongst not just romantic characters but also the characters that are siblings or friends of the family

it is so well done so well written birthday girl hands down i still ended up giving it five stars because it was just as good as the first time that i read it

very intriguing series absolutely loved it gave this volume 5 stars i cannot wait to continue the rest of the series

the first one is costume cudi by shinicia c higgins i ended up giving that one four stars

this is something that i hadn't seen done before in terms of magic system and the purpose of the magic i had never seen this before which is what made it such a unique read for me and why i really did end up enjoying it

there was these great conversations surrounding the history of madagascar which i thought was very unique and i really enjoyed the writing

the fourth one was eerie obsession by t key and i gave this one two stars

this one i'm kind of torn on because i really love the artwork but i felt like the story wasn't fleshed out enough

the fourth one is actually halloween spice by turtleberry and i gave that one three stars

it wasn't just a novella that was like oh my gosh i'm super excited to have read this so i did kind of give it three stars because it was kind of another road mediocre

it is such a powerful book and i expect nothing less from jacqueline woodson

the premise was really cool but the execution was horrible the execution of this was horrible the characters were flat

i do like them but they're more like the reckless couple they're super reckless really like a lot of adrenaline type of situation which is okay i do enjoy reading about them

i really like the art i like where it's going i just checked out the second volume i have it sitting on the couch over there so i'm excited to read it

in kiss the sky it's very interesting and one of my favorite books out of the entire line of this like 10 book crossover series

if you haven't heard of long way down i definitely recommend reading the book first i also recommend listening to the book on audio because jason reynolds reads it

because it seemed like it was going to be such a big issue and then it was never really explained or clarified it made the book fall flat to me

i ended up giving monster blood three stars i gave say cheese and die 3.5 stars these of course are children's horror books they all have these weird twists to them

i only ended up giving that one i think three or three point five stars which is mother of the sea but this one the writing was so much better

the last five pages of this book had my mouth like dropped open i was like what i didn't see that coming

i think that the art was well done this story was easy to follow i learned a lot of new japanese food terms i learned a lot of german food terms

i ended up giving reckoning four stars this focuses on bones in a kind of adventure that he has in helping another vampire out somewhat somehow

i do like the development and the love that is shared amongst not just romantic characters but also the characters that are siblings or friends of the family

i wasn't super invested in the story i didn't really care for the writing the writing was just not that great i thought that the menage scene was really hot but outside of that it just wasn't enjoyable

i liked it but i wanted more world building because the world that house created for this book i found very intriguing and very different

i think i enjoyed this one a lot more because the body horror in it was just super crazy like things that you could actually see happening injury-wise happen in this book so it was it was really creepy

it really bothered me bothered me so very much to see that so i will not be picking up anything else by this author i didn't enjoy this book i gave it one star

i did like the writing and i did like learning more about the mythical creatures but it just wasn't enough to make me want to even continue the series

i thought it was very well written i like that it covered those topics i liked looking at the relationship dynamic between edie and alberta

this is my second book that i've read by her and i have enjoyed both

the second one is the wrong wicker by ashley nicole and i gave that one three stars

the artwork is absolutely beautiful i really love the artwork i love the bright colors i love kind of like the choppy edgy feel of the artwork

i like that kelly yang did a lot of research and talked to communities that were specifically affected by prop 187

the writing's fantastic the world building is fantastic the creep element is on ten it is super creepy and eerie
