is a story of this girl who like sees a poster of herself one day it's picture she's never seen so she has a stalker and it's there's just a looming threat it's a lot about dreams and nightmares

I was up for having a fun silly time I just did not like the writing I didn't like how I was delivered the information I didn't like a single character I didn't like their romantic relationships I didn't like any of the side plots going on.

I found it dull I found it annoying I found it had some tough writing to get into and honestly just really glad that I have gotten into Fairy stuff

why do I barely remember this one I know it's a Coming of Age story it took a long time for the action to really pick up ... I remember this boyys really struggling in life it's queer and then he finally confronts the a big bad situation

this is a ya tale of a girl who is undocumented living in the states and her family hasn't told her that she's a werewolf ... it wasn't a super intriguing premise for me at the end of the day so that's why it was a three

there's a lot of things to enjoy and nothing takes up too much like just so well paced and so well thought out ... it's not one of the best things I've ever eaten or read but I can see why it's a pretty top tier fantasy

it's a fantastic book that just wasn't for me it touches on so many things like racism and gender and class systems it's about abuse and it's about trauma and it's about mental health

Loved it

this was a 4.25 so it's stuck in my teeth in a good way I really could not get this out of my head for days after reading it is a sexual horror an erotic horor no it's sexual body rot horror

The God of the WoodsLiz Moore
Loved it

this was a 4.25 for me I quite liked it ... it's a literary mystery so it's very focused on the interpersonal stuff the drama very slow scenes and just building of this mystery

it's an action-packed book and it felt like watching a movie where I was just there and experiencing it and I don't have a lot of thoughts after the fact still giving it a four

the first half of this I did a whole Vlog of spoilers because my memory of this is that it was a real disappointment for the series to end how it did and then when I was reading it in the Vlog I was like the first half of this is still so good ... and then the second half just kind of fell off

The RoadCormac McCarthy
Loved it

I gave this a four it is an apocalyptic story of a man and his son and they are just traveling they are walking they are surviving

this is definitely the most graphic the things that this main character wants to devour it's pretty gross so check that out if you want if you want some graphic consumption

this is about Lona and these girls who are just really close and one of them ends up dying but her spirit is still around and it's like breaking this generational cycle

if you go into this thinking it's an apocalyptic story and you're to learn about the apocalypse you're going to be left chewing on wax at the end because it's actually about what's inside and the relationship between a couple characters ... I gave this a four I thought it was really interesting and lovely
