Best & Worst Books of 2019 || Goodreads Reading Challenge Wrap Up Part 2

I really liked the beginning because there was definitely more focus on technology and like science which is what I thought the book was going to be about and I was really loving the beginning and then it got weaker and weaker because it became more and more about the author's stance and like politics religion

personally I found that it was kind of pointless and it only got good towards the end and it's just like when you're gonna just buy a book that is this short and there's not enough substance it's frustrating and it was pretty disappointing because of that

I tortured myself with this book on the plane it was the only book I had on my phone and I hated every minute of it

I really enjoyed that book a lot more than I thought especially like maybe less for childhood part but like more and the rest was really interesting and if you still haven't read it I definitely recommend you do so

it was a really entertaining quick easy non-fiction read and I enjoyed it

the magic system is just I loved it I really enjoyed the world-building I enjoyed the characters how strong the first the main female character was

very tough read I'm glad I read it's definitely something I would recommend if you are interested but just prepare yourself but yeah solid book for sure

once again you get rubbed your face constantly heavily on that virtue signaling of I am NOT mo phobic or exist and as always the ending I don't know if anyone else will agree but men that anything was not great

the quality death and the story to just character and world building was just so much weaker and the twists were obvious to me I didn't care for you know what happened anything

I feel like it's one of those books that I gave a pretty high rating at first and then afterward I'm noticing more issues / I'm realizing that I really just enjoyed a character / Simon from the first book

the book went in a completely different direction and it was really really really weak and it was really a big letdown after at the beginning especially the first book was really solid

The third book though is an interesting one it's kind of a slice of life with a murder mystery and it's again very calming it's not my usual thing but the same time I keep telling myself I will forever read more by Becky chambers because she just has that way of calming my soul

I read 20% and I realized I don't remember any of this thing just that I've read

it's not something that really like blew my mind but I still think it deserves a little bit of hype

it's by the same author as taking a brief history of humankind which I had really enjoyed

you have those psyche people their job is to kill people to just maintain population numbers and a lot of political intrigue it was really great

I kind of found myself feeling that it really really needed or would have benefited from being shortened a lot but overall interesting topic

this was easily if I've started it was just amazing what I liked it you know how I mentioned some books are like big fluffy nothing happens pointless books not this one

it was good I completely understand the hype if you are looking for those type of books but they break my heart so I'm always a little like not wanting to read them but it was pretty solid

you're just left not sure is it true are they crazy like you just really left wondering what is going on it's so crazy and it's so great and then the ending happens

this one is one of those books where I struggle to remember what it was about because like 400 pages of fluff nothing happens

the first book is the long way to a small angry planet which you might be more familiar with I definitely recommend that book you definitely need to start even though they are companion novels you definitely need to read the first one

I kind of want to mention the puppy war I think yeah I think it's gonna be the puppy war there you go solid fantasy book

unfortunately it really rubbed me the wrong way and it's one of those things where like I guess humor can be kind of touchy but like some wonder stuff you know there's a really fine line at some point between being funny and being like incredibly harsh on herself

I definitely felt like would have benefitted from being shortened but a really interesting promise

if you like dinosaurs and you want to hear someone geek the crap out of dinosaurs for hours you should check out that book

you get more artificial intelligence it just develops in the world becomes bigger and bigger it ends on a ridiculous cliffhanger

I just overall really enjoyed this book the characters the story I felt like it had like it even better direction than the last one the superpowers are interesting and you just get more and more from that world and I just want more

I read it I enjoyed it but it wasn't something that blew my mind although the premise was interesting

I read it because I had to type of thing and didn't really care for it
