consumerism on booktube and my bookshelf tour unhaul part 2

it is a book that i'm marking up with not only highlighting every single m dash on the page but also with notes about like the writing the tone setting the plot and how inexplicable it is and also how awful all of the male characters in this are

i haven't reread anna karenina since then but the emotional impact of that book is something that i remember very strongly

this was like a godsend for me at that time and sort of understanding my own feelings on faith and christianity and all of that

i ended up giving this three stars it was fine

i read about 15 or 20 pages and i was like i can't i can't even get to the problematic bits because this is so boring

this was one of the best books and definitely one of the best non-fiction books that i read last year 5 out of 5 stars and i'm keeping

i found this enjoyable enough like in enjoyment this would probably be a three and keep it but i don't think that cassandra clare is a good writer and so i take issue with some of that

clap when you land by elizabeth acevedo which i read this year and also gave 5 out of 5 stars to so i'm keeping

did you ever have a family by bill clegg i read this because it was long listed for the man booker and i really enjoyed it i gave it 5 out of 5 stars

this was part of my curriculum in my poetry class that i took for creative writing in college and i really enjoyed this

i read illuminae twice actually maybe it took me so long to get into that book but it reads so quickly because of the format of it

jane steele by lindsay faye which i loved i think i gave this four and a half or five out of five stars so i'm keeping

i enjoyed this i thought the premise was pretty interesting and the idea of looking at a marriage that was kind of breaking down was different than her other books but not in a bad way

i love karen russell's short stories they're weird as hell and i really enjoyed this there were obviously some stories that were better than others

this is the first john green book i ever read and i really loved it

holy heck did i love this book through middle school and high school this is one of the like books that i would like track in the story of my life in terms of like loving reading and being like super impactful

i'm about 150 pages into but i got super stressed about what was happening this freaking book and i put it aside because i just was not able to deal with how stressed it was making me but i do want to finish it

if you haven't heard this was one of my favorite books of this year so far and i gave it 5 out of 5 stars

the girl on the train by paula hawkins i think i gave this like three stars it was fine

next is the hate u give by angie thomas and i also gave this four and a half out of five stars and i'm keeping it

finally the night circus by erin morgenstern loved this book grew to love it 5 out of 5 stars i'm keeping

i enjoyed this and i thought it did a couple of things that were a little unexpected and the premise itself was very neat as was the magic

the guy at the heart of this is like really problematic for lack of a better word but i loved the premise and the concept

next i have the starla c by erin morgenstern which i gave three and a half out of five stars to but it is definitely one that i want to reread

i sat down to read it i got that far and i was like i'm not enjoying this and i never looked back

i actually read the heart does not grow back and there were certain changes that were made especially at the end that i like i understood and i very much understood why they would do it upon re-release but i enjoyed the original more

this is the refrigerator monologues by catherine and valenti which was hilarious and i highly recommend especially if you enjoy superhero stories i gave this four and a half out of five stars

this is one that i started and dnf'd

next is wannabet by talia hibbert which i read and loved

when i started it wasn't like an immediate hook

next is with the fire and high by elizabeth acevedo which i gave 5 out of 5 stars to and i'm keeping

i couldn't make it wasn't for me the writing was super not for me so i'm unhauling
