this is very beautiful lyrical writing and so many people get so emotional with atonement

i think it made me cry like it was actually very impactful

oh this is so good this is a tragic love story

oh this is so good and it also illuminates a tragedy and disaster that neither canada nor india really ever took responsibility for or recognized

a series that gets better as it goes on i'm gonna say cinder by marissa meyer this whole series

it's just really beautiful as well roka is my favorite just anything by him honestly but i think this would be a particular punch for your last day on earth and just a nice companion as well

between emma and mr nightly like i just really love that relationship and it reminds me of like you know the modern enemy still lovers trope

their relationship just starts to go downhill and downhill and it's just i don't know there's so many different things in it that remind me like specifically of the song it's a little bit eerie actually

i think i finally found a good one because i'm reading for the wolf by hannah witton this is so good

i love this book so much it was such a good portrayal of just two people meeting and then becoming friends and then falling in love but they also are facing so many other things in their life

one of the characters in here arcus has a lot of facial scars and he has a really like cool journey with his acceptance of those scars

my whole life until i read this book i thought i was going to hate charles dickens i was like scared of him i did not like him but this was wonderful and it is now my favorite dickens book

it's actually so good as well book i love this one

also one of my favorite romance books of the year just such a nice slow fantasy that makes me want to run away into a cottage

the scariest book i've ever read personally is house of leaves by marx at danielski

it slowly descends into very unsettling territory and it gets really morbid really disturbing but it's still really enjoyable because the writing is so nice

this one's nice i like this one

i love this manga and as well the anime just came out and i started watching it and it is so beautiful

i read this middle grade book in 2019 it is inspired by a number of different filipino myths folklore just mythology and stories and everything like that

this book still got me staring at walls

now i'm going to say love in the time of cholera this is absolutely so gorgeous

it is a really cute whimsical novel but it also at its heart deals with a lot of issues concerning the imagination

this is probably the middle grade slash children's book that has most reminded me of harry potter in a good way

i just read book one this is phenomenal it's grim dark fantasy we're following mia who is an assassin enough said

i read this one in the summer and this is a book about the people who carried david livingston's body out of africa when he died

i honestly felt like pan's labyrinth i listened to this one this year felt like a studio ghibli film

i read this a few years ago and this is about someone who becomes a royal taster for a commander or a prince or something there is romance there's plot and it is pretty dark because she is like being poisoned every single day

it's shiver by maggie stiefvater this to me was like the superior twilight

i'm going to say one that i just read which is snow and rose by emily winfield martin this is so cozy it takes you throughout the four seasons

i did like a video essay of sorts on this just because this inspired me so much as you can imagine snow is just such a rampant theme throughout the whole book

this is very character focused it's set in poland and not that much actually technically happens you're just very much following the two characters

this is like the worst book i've ever read and that's tantalize by cynthia lytic smith this is awful so awful that it just made me laugh the whole way through

i loved this series when i was younger and i probably still would it is the first book is the alchemist by michael scott

i didn't like this book but this book did make me want to live in russia

it wasn't the best book but like it definitely gave me those like really good baking vibes

the gothic-ness and the creepiness and the whole atmosphere of unease combined so beautifully with the painting and like the art and the pre-raphaelite school and it's just it was so good

i love this so much you got the snow you have talking animals you have demons

i read this year i hated this book but i know a lot of people love it

this was beautiful i gave this five stars

this one a lot of people don't like but for me i couldn't put it down because number one it's so short and i wanted to know like what was happening

the iliac crest might be my favorite read of the year so far

i didn't really love this book i thought it was pretty average but so many people adore this

i read this year and this is like really this is really good you follow this class of students who are hiking across china trying to save basically these ancient scrolls

i read this last christmas so good

so many people have loved this i hated this but i'm still going to say the maidens by alex mike ladies because the investigator is just a woman who should not be doing what she's doing

this book is just i need to reread this i really want to reread this as soon as possible it's also beautiful

i actually like read it instead of just looking at the pictures when i was little and it's actually a really good resource

if you're just feeling down if you want to be reminded that the physical isn't everything and won't ever be everything then this is just incredible

the way that they communicate to each other like the connection that they have is just such beautiful writing it just makes you feel so alone

this one really surprised me it gave me a lot of phantom of the upper vibes because like the phantom there's a character in here that kind of mirrors the phantom in that he has removed himself from society

not a very well known book that i think deserves a lot more credit is definitely untold night and day by bae soi i gave this five stars

this is like one of the most painful books ever is wuthering heights i just the absolute anguish and torment and just like the missed opportunities the relationship that didn't work out but you still feel it so many years later

i personally do not like this book but maybe you will
