EVERY BOOK I'VE READ THIS YEAR 🗓 📚 🪄

the third one though I just felt like it was a it was kind of fast I guess I wanted a little bit more to it than what we got

these are ones that I have tried and they didn't really work out for me

the themes of this one were great you could read it and kind of not really pay attention to the themes and just kind of get captured in the aesthetic and the atmosphere which is established very well

these are ones that I have tried and they didn't really work out for me

these I think have turned out to be really great reads for me where it is mixing some of what I think we're very nostalgic for but also is doing something different and new

belladon would be in the tier above this and this is below it just wasn't quite as strong for me

so cute I thought it was adorable it just felt like a love letter to bookworms

these are ones that I have tried and they didn't really work out for me

it's zany and over the toop and I had a lot of fun with it I just think I liked the first one a little bit more

Cobalt red is one of them it is about the mining in the Congo it's extremely eye openening it's a fantastic read I really highly recommend it

I quite liked the ending I really liked the low elements the way in which the world is described is very Lush but I just wish we had a little bit more time with the characters

I love divine Rivals I think the sequel was just a little bit beneath Divine Rivals for me but as a whole this duology is just really impact act ful

it really feels more like a folk tale with rather strong themes and then also really cool dragons and the lore behind the dragons and their tie to humans and the tie between humans and some creatures in general was awesome

an encyclopedia fairies was a little higher still really liked map of the otherlands

in general this just it's so fun and the banter between the characters and their personalities just scream off the page which I really love

it did lean into cliche territory from time to time but it was still overall for me a fun read

I wasn't a fan of fourth wi but I was like I'll give the second one a try

I didn't dislike having this New Perspective I just think I was thrown a little bit and it took some time to be readjusted and it feels a little bit like it has middle book syndrome

The writing itself can be so polished and Posh and really beautiful and then so dumb and then it can be so stupid at the same time and this was an instance where that combination really worked for me I absolutely loved it

the really clever humor the way in which it was so accurately pulling things from our own world and then putting them on display and then making fun of it all those sorts of things that I really liked about the first half I don't feel we as strong in the second half

I really appreciated the themes of the story I like the writing of the story and I absolutely want to read something by this author however there were just a few things in this that really irritated me

I have really conflicted feelings about this the reading experience was aggravating but then the after is kind of like it's kind of funny though

I admit there's bias but it still made for a fun reading experience

our main character is so annoying the love interest is annoying also in my opinion I just wish the dragons existed elsewhere cuz they're cool

I just thought it was so cute and so precious as is the movie

these are ones that I have tried and they didn't really work out for me

long walk to Freedom definitely served to illuminate a lot of things I didn't know that much about definitely highly recommend that one

these are ones that I have tried and they didn't really work out for me

I did not like pessie but there are some similarities as far as that feeling

these I think have turned out to be really great reads for me where it is mixing some of what I think we're very nostalgic for but also is doing something different and new

I think the sequel was just a little bit beneath Divine Rivals for me but as a whole this duology is just really impact act ful

I did that and it was it was good but I don't have super strong feelings either way

I liked the way that music was represented in it so I quite liked this one

this was one where I was liking it initially and then for me I wished it had either just not had any fantasy elements or leaned into them much more

some of them I got pretty far into like sword catcher I think I got 70 or 80% through which is a pretty big book so that was a kind of a time sync to then decide to jump ship with

I definitely think the commentary on the way in which art can impact a person and how they feel about the world and how it shapes their Outlook I really liked that concept I just think the execution of it was not my favorite

I just found certain aspects of the story to be kind of repetitive and I think that's what really kind of brought it down for me so this one just middle

while I do think I have some criticism of this and I definitely can see other people's critic isms I'm like yeah I don't disagree the hard-hitting moments for this hit very hard plus I just really like V's writing itself

it's very much speculative and it's kind of like a blend of sci-fi and contemporary and almost post-apocalyptic in a sense and it's great

I don't think it was as good as the first one it was fine

I was unsure but I ended up quite liking that decision and then I will say she just has a way of kind of sucking you into the story

the first one I do think Blended Fantastical elements with the romance building throughout the book

this is one that I really enjoyed the blend of genres that this was it is a fantasy detective story and I really enjoyed that

I think it's good writing and I like the imagery that it evokes and the emotions it evokes it's just I never it never sits with me

it almost hyped itself up at the beginning for me and then and then I was disappointed in it not living up to the expectations the beginning set up

the wisdom of crowds is B basally the perfect name for the third book it's so good

I just think she combines his historical fiction and fantasy really well

it's an artistic choice that I definitely respect it's just not one that ended up ultimately working for me but I would still recommend warm hands of ghosts

it was the way in which it represented PTSD I thought it was phenomenal and I really quite liked that
