everything I read in May (it was a lot)

i got to read this like over my exam period in school and then carry it with me into may and it was just it was just so good i think this is definitely now my favorite fortunate sworn book in the series

writing the duinologies when i read it a long time ago is not also on my top favorite book of work

it's literally just 30 pages long so i didn't really get too much out of it but it was still very sweet

i was not in love with the first fortune is born book mainly because it has a lot of elements in fantasy and fantasy romance i'm not a fan of but they just keep getting better and better

i just loved the characters so much i really liked the writing i found the pacing was a little bit slow at times i will say i think it was a little bit too long for what it was

i picked up the first one feeling so ambivalent and by the time i got halfway through the book like i was just a puddle i was just a puddle of mushy gushy love like this series legitimately made my heart explode

the second one was my favorite i think just because it was so gorgeous and like wholesome

the first volume i would say is more about just like enjoying food why do people cook why do people love cooking how do you bake and it's all about like the feelings that you get from eating with people

the second volume actually explores topics of eating disorders because there's someone at the school who has an eating disorder and i was just like very impressed with it

they're just so they're so sensual they're so beautiful i really enjoyed reading this collection

i could not put this down like i did not want to put this down i just wanted to read this in one setting i think it was so impressive and i am so happy i read this five stars i would highly recommend

this one i just felt like it didn't it didn't really speak to me as much as a lot of his later work

it was not my favorite thing ever i gave it three stars but because it's lemony snicket like it's just it's just kind of i don't know it's just a brand that i think i will always be like yeah i'll just read it

i really felt like the characters were very flat actually it just felt like they were like plot devices this book i would say is very plot heavy and i feel like i had no idea who the characters were i didn't have any time to get attached to them and so i just didn't care what was happening overall and i just couldn't i just couldn't keep going with it

it's just like a really sweet really educational really cool story and i do really love it so i did give it four stars but overall i think it does in my opinion pale in comparison to the movie

i think what really made this come alive was steinbeck's writing i think it was beautiful i would highly recommend the audiobook

if you're looking for a collection i'd recommend the book of hours i just love the book of hours

i think on the whole i just didn't really drive with this collection i still gave it three and a half stars because there was really gorgeous lines i think the earliest essays were definitely my favorite

i think this one failed for me because the book was just so boring the romance was so plain so lackluster it was not very realistic there was no substance in it
