2018 Book Releases: Ranked and Reviewed

this is a great collection if you love historical fiction and you want to read about queer human beings this had a really good average rating plus I discovered some new authors whose books I would love to read it's just a really solid collection overall

it did a really good job of all of those things the thing that made me give this book 3 out of 5 stars was mainly the fact that I felt that the main character had a very young voice that frequently pulled me out of the story

this is an absolutely beautiful book well it takes a little bit to get started and to relate to the characters I think it really picks up in the last third of the story also an incredibly diverse book it is lovely in so many different ways though incredibly heartbreaking with all that in mind I absolutely loved it

this is an excellent follow-up I will say that of the three I have completed this is my least favorite but I have given them all the same rating because I find them all fabulous

this is a delightful story about College about finding true friends who accept you it's adorable and wonderful and it features one of my favorite romances of all time you all know I love it and it's wonderful and I beg you to read check please

this book had a lot of positives including how deeply inclusive it was I think it's predictable but it's also really fun it's just an enjoyable read that I do recommend

this is one of my favorite books that I have absolutely ever read I cried from beginning to end it's gorgeously written it is a wonderful story about a wonderful character I adore it in every conceivable way and I can't recommend it enough

this is an incredible book for numerous reasons mostly because I think that it is one of the books that helped me realize that I was going to need help with my mental health it's also got a really excellent female romance and I loved it

it features a hijab' arrow ace main character and a Japanese main character as well as having a lot of other people of color and queer people mostly it is about a complex friendship between these two women who initially hate each other and I absolutely loved every second of it

Alice Osmond writes unforgettably lovely main characters who are always dealing with anxiety with struggling to fit in and with finding a person in the world who understands them it is an absolutely gorgeous book about loving things and about finding strengths and other people who are also passionate

my problem with this book is that it just does not live up to the quality of the first one I ultimately found myself bored at multiple points throughout the story the characters and the plot were weaker than the original and it left me feeling let down

those three stars are for the moments where I was able to enjoy Li a story stars were taken off because often the characterization of those characters felt distinctly different from the first book

you loved legend of korra these are perfect they are just as strong as every other avatar the last airbender related comic I have ever read does a great job with korra and asami relationship

the story is strong it does a good job balancing all of the characters that you know and love I absolutely loved all three parts but of course loved parts two and three since they're released in 2018

this book is deeply important and I think it is going to be important to so many readers it is a beautiful exploration of sexuality it also deals with family relationships it features a main character going to therapy so I highly recommend it

this is an ultimately very uneven set of short stories about love and romance there were some that I absolutely adored like the story by Emory Lorde there were a lot of downsides which is why I gave it a 3 out of 5 stars

this is a romance it is an insightful look at Cuba from many different time periods it is gorgeously written engaging and features two relationships that are so wonderful to read even as they slowly break your heart I loved this

it was delightfully dramatic exactly the way much to do about nothing is if you love much ado about nothing you're not going to be disappointed every single storyline is covered it's a lot of fun

the first half you find yourself sort of distant from the main character as she is so completely full of rage the second half allows her to reconcile her rage deal with the things that were followed and maybe start to move on the second half is really where it's strong

this is an incredibly dark but wonderful fairy tale book so if you loved fairy tales I highly recommend it is beautifully written as a lover of dark fairy tales this was everything I could have wanted and I loved it

the problem that I had with this novella was that I found it confusing it was good but it took me until the end of the story to figure out what was even going on and I just had a hard time getting into it because of that

mostly the frustrations with this novella came from the fact that I think it was far too short it's about 75 pages long and yet there are multiple sequences that are supposed to be huge battles it just felt like a rushed storyline

I never really felt connected to any of the characters I just couldn't get behind how repetitive this book was and I couldn't get to know the characters the way I wanted to everything had a real distance to it

this is an exquisite political fantasy it is also a romance between the main character and her gender-fluid love interest it is written in the most lush gorgeous language also Theodora and chielo are one of my new favorite relationships of all time I had so much fun reading this book

this is a perfect summer rom-com for girls if you want to read about girls falling in love and it being dramatic and wonderful this is the book both girls are delightful the story is wonderful and while it has drama it is ultimately an incredibly happy book
