August TBR & July Reading Recap

i loved this book i gave it five stars this is an example of a book similar to fresh water where a lot of not so great things happen and there's a lot of dark subject matter and it's painful to read but there's also a glimmer of hope it feels like there's a larger purpose to the story and the characters feel real and you connect to them and you care about them and that makes it worth reading

i gave this book four stars i thought vintie was really well done honestly i think the missing star really comes from just how short it is though i really do feel like so much was done in this tiny little book there were moments that felt rushed or parts that i wanted to be more developed that there just wasn't room for

i gave this book four stars i found it very intriguing very enthralling

for me this book was a miss it just didn't work for me at all i really struggled to get through it really left me in a not great place

just overall i think the structure of this book really lends itself to a lot of self-reflection and growth which i think is so important for those of us with white privilege right now so i would highly recommend this book if you haven't picked it up already

the world building and the climate change aspect for me was really incredibly well done but i could not connect to our main character at all i found her so incredibly unlikable i found her motivations confusing i couldn't get behind her decisions or her justifications for the things she'd done

this is another book i highly recommend i give it five stars it is definitely dense it might take you a while to get through it's definitely a book that i'm going to be rereading and taking notes but i feel like i learned so much more in reading this book than i ever did in school about canada's history with racism towards black people

we're only listening to you know maybe 10 to 15 minutes at a time while doing dishes or making dinner every couple days so it's very slow going but we're really enjoying it

overall i just thought it was really sweet really silly really fun with some great representation so i gave it four out of five stars

i'm really enjoying it so far it is a adult sci-fi and i'm excited to see where it goes
