You Truly Assumed by Laila Sabreen
4.0
this was relatable especially Zakat, as im also a hijabi artist who's insecure and anxious like her. the others girls were cool too, but it was weird seeing them dating when they're Muslim... i don't get it. the story was sensitive and so real though.
Temple Alley Summer by Sachiko Kashiwaba
4.5
so relaxing loved the story within the story, Kazu was such a precious MC. i liked the theme and being magical realism. the ending was too rushed in my opinion but I still really enjoyed this book, probably the best I read this year so far (for context I only read 5 books but oh well). wanna read more books from Japanese authors now, and magical realism. highly recommend!

Spy x Family, Vol. 13 by Tatsuya Endo
5.0
considering how many chapters came out its safe to assume ive read this volume entirely. and so many new things happened. Loid is a softy and i know he loves Yor and so does she. there's a vibe that more about Anya (or shall I say ANIA) will be shown soon, the grandparents are sweet but sus, Anya finally got a stella star in academics while she got a tonitrus bolt at the same day lol. i love this manga so much. also the recent chapter was so funny as it was set as an entire who done it mystery arc and it ended in one chapter because of Anya's and Bond's powers lol
Palestine by Edward W. Said, Joe Sacco
4.5
This was pretty touching but cool thst thid journalist is pro palestinian even though they have no connections just sees the truth with their eyes. The illustrations were i teresting but the comic felt unfinished for some reason
Lulu and Milagro's Search for Clarity by Angela Velez
4.0
i was actually pleasently surprised with this one, it went deeper in to the sisters than i thought and i liked the ending beign this beginning into being their true selves more and coming together. i could see my family in them (were many sisters too) , it was pretty interesting. I didnt like Milagro much at first but by the end she was my favorite
The Bolds by Julian Clary
3.75
I could tell what the author was... Which was interesting I guess. The book was fun though and the lesson was nice.
Shirley and Jamila's Big Fall by Gillian Goerz
4.0
Accidentally read the second one without having read the first one but oh well. The art and character design was cool and pretty, I liked the story and the resolution. Am pretty happy with it. Shirley is Sherlock right? Jamilah is Dr. Watson?
The People of Sparks by Jeanne DuPrau
4.5
I love this series, the way it tackled such mature topics without thinking of tweens as dumb, the worldbuilding, the themes, the great descriptions, the audiobook narration, the characters and their developments (both the unlikables and the likable one), it's amazing! the ending got me almost teary because it was truly poetic. man I just love books that are written well, especially Middle Grade ones, they're the best!
The Two Wrong Halves of Ruby Taylor by Amanda Panitch
4.0
pretty fun, i found Ruby pretty relatable although our religions are different they have a lot in common and I also felt overshadowed by my cousin and my grandma is too a misogynist narcissist... anyways, the dybukk was pretty similar to a jinn, and that was terrifying to see be the main plot point, dear Sarah went through enough. anyway I loved the ending for being positive and realistic too.
