the first 10 books I read this year

I thought that this was pretty well developed if anything it felt a little bit overstuffed to me plot wise like it felt like maybe it had one or two too many things for the amount of time that we got to spend but the character work was really wonderful

I loved the combination of Science and Memoir in here and I would recommend this for people trying out non-fiction and science nonfiction because it does have that beautiful balance between the two overall I gave this four 4.5 out of 5 stars

I thought that this was phenomenal Clint Smith is a poet and you can absolutely tell in the language how beautiful it was how Lush it was

All of my feelings that I had on first read about this stand this is like solidly a three or three point five star book there are definitely things that haven't aged as well in the beginning some fat phobic language in specific was pointed out in the discourse as well

I was so Charmed by this middle grade book

I thought that this was very solid I think that it is like a solid 3.5 mystery thriller I'm very curious to see more from this author

I gave this 3.5 Stars when I originally read it this is probably closer to A4 for me now if I could probably push it to like 4.5 of my feelings but I will admit that some of those circular plot things and some of the difficulty of just spending so much time with an unlikable character do sort of wear on the story but this is just so beautiful in its themes in its narrative voice

I started the year off with these precious Days by Ann Patchett and this was my first five star read of the year my first read of the year
