I have discovered I really don’t care for manga or graphic novels that are action centered. The fighting doesn’t translate well in this medium for me and I skim through those pages so fast. I went through this so quickly because it’s mostly fighting lol Guts big ass sheet of iron was really cool. Idk how he’s able to raise that lmao 

Wow, another surprising read!!! I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did. I really think the mystery is what intrigued me the most about this book and then also..maybe..Silas 😍 Did I like this enough to want to continue to the series, yes!!! 

The romance in here was a breath of fresh air. Really thought we were headed through a love triangle but thank god we didn’t!!

 I loved how Signa genuinely loved the Hawthrones and would do anything for them ❤️

This novel was so good and felt so real!! I know there’s a follow-up and maybe I’ll read it someday but this novel was great alone. It was devastating, dystopian, but also a bit hopeful. I would read more of this author’s work and I’m so happy I read this!! Highly recommend if you’re looking to read more indigenous literature!!! 

How could you give this heart-wrenching, harrowing story anything less than five stars?! What a vivid portrait of Afghanistan. Hassan, Amir and Sohrab 💔💔💔 I can’t believe this was Khaled Hosseini’s debut!!! Incredible!!! I love sad books and this is the epitome of sad books but it’s incredibly beautiful and hopeful too. Stunningly written. Bravo

I’m so happy I finally read this beloved book. One of the few novels my amazing uncle/dad/best friend read 🥹❤️ This is his type of book. He was into sad books as well. 

Highly suggest listening to this! The narrator, Krystel Roche is phenomenal! One thing I thought was phrased inappropriately was the mention of suicide. I don’t think any child in middle grade should know their parent attempted this. 

I read this for a reading prompt for one of the many challenges I am a part of 

This was such a unique way of telling one’s life story. I really liked listening to the audiobook. It’s narrated by Billie and her parents!! Her book is a picture book but I didn’t even need to see it while listening to this. Let your imagination go wild. Billie sounds like such a cute person who just loves to bring joy to others and have fun. I actually wish more celebrities did memoirs or autobiographies like this. It feels much more personal and fun. I learned a lot and it makes me more interested in Billie and therefore her music. 

I honestly completely lost most of the plot after the fourth POV. Having more than 4 POVs makes it so hard for me to keep track of who is who and stay engaged with the story. Oddly enough, I still listened to the entire audiobook because I loved the narrator and I got the gist of what was going on but nothing particular. 

Highly recommend maybe reading this in tandem with the audio. I definitely needed the physical copy to follow more closely with the story. The way the author described the POVs in this book is that they are the community as a whole. This is a part of a trilogy and the next two books will have different POVs if I’m not mistaken. 

Sadly, this didn’t interest me enough to want to continue with the trilogy but I did love the author’s writing and would definitely pick up other work by him. He has a debut sci-fi novel called The Lesson that I will definitely read one of these days. 

This surprised me so much!!! I wasn’t convinced that this would be a book I ended up loving until the twistsss. They were good and original and I loved the ending. It wasn’t your typical thriller ending Alexis is a bad bitch 💁🏼‍♀️ she overcame her demons and I love her!! This was so refreshing and can’t wait to read more from this author!!! 

If you loved the show Desperate Housewives, you’ll love this!! ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ Sam, the main character’s husband, is completely unlikeable. If you don’t think you can deal with that, don’t read this book 

This was a mixed bag for me. I liked some essays and others I didn’t. I liked some parts of essays and then didn’t like other parts of them. I didn’t keep track of the essays either which would have been helpful. My review would be alot more concise. 

I’m not sure if listening to the audiobook was the best idea for me.. it was good but the author narrated it and he sounded so rigid. His voice wasn’t as fluid and lyrical and the prose he wrote his essays in. I still on the fences as to whether I even like reading prose.. I guess it really depends on the author. I still definitely want to read his debut, Johnny Appleseed, and think he is a talented writer. As an indigiqueer person, his voice is a unique and refreshing one to hear. 

This book was 10 years in the making and it shows!! Everyone should read this!! This historical horror novel is outstanding. The fact that it’s based on a real place and people makes it much more daunting and harrowing. I loved this so much. Tananarive is clearly a talented author and it is such a pleasure reading her work. I can’t wait to read more of it. Hello new auto-buy author!! 

It’s better if you go into this book blind and just enjoy the informative and dark ride this book takes you on through a place that really existed once.
