the 13 books i read in march | monthly reading wrapup + reading stats

Apparently, I had to read it for an American lit class and honestly just could not get into it. I was so freaking bored and I remember being like a thick ass book.

But yeah, I like the romance. It was really cute. I find that Ally Hayeswood has this like skill of writing books with main characters that I relate to so [ __ ] hard.

So, take this with a grain of salt, but personally, I just found it very mid.

Ghosts I really enjoyed.

Good material. I liked I didn't love it, but I did like the last section of it.

I have heard so many mixed opinions about this book, but honestly, I ended up loving it so much and I'm so glad I picked it up.

Like this is a book that was so stunningly done that I wish I had written it. Like it was that good.

And oh my [ __ ] god, it was so freaking good. I think I started this book and was kind of like wary, wasn't sure if I would actually like it.

That book was like one of my favorite books of the year. I read it, I think in 2023 or 2024. It was a sort of body horror novel and it was just so well written and had such interesting commentary, but it was also like about a very specific topic.

However, the subject matter of this one was just so incredibly done and I definitely want to read more from this author.

And I love this book so [ __ ] much. It was so freaking amazing. Incredibly well written and harrowing and dark and just so freaking visceral.

But yeah overall really loved this. was so heartbroken and I just have so many feelings for Hayitch and everything that happens to him and I loved all of the Easter eggs that we get and just little nods to the you know other prequel and also to the original series

Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins unsurprisingly got five stars even though The Ballad of Song Birds and Snakes got you know like a three star for me I think.

It was such a fun read honestly. Like this was a romance, but it was also kind of a like drama and it definitely had that Daisy Jones and the Six vibe and that nostalgia and like the idea of competition and just this like love of like a specific thing and in this case it was ice skating.

Like every line of this book was just so beautifully written and such a stunning piece of work. and just the way that he crafts the stories and starts each chapter and how he ends it and how he comes to the point of things is so beautifully and artfully done.

Anyways, that little rant aside, this book was just so freaking fun and so freaking cute. It had the most like adorable and endearing main character that I've ever read.

Although this book starts out very strange and sort of atypical, by the end, I was just so astounded and just impressed by everything that it covered while also being such a fun, sweet, heartwarming, cozy read.
