This was heartbreaking and wild and intense and really slow at times and taking place in two different places and times and honestly, a lot going on. Great narration; I read this on audiobook. A lot of the writing feels very surreal or dreamlike, especially in the first half, but the second half feels more […]
Can’t Wait Wednesday is a book blogging meme hosted over at Wishful Endings. It’s to discuss and spotlight books that you’re excited about but that you haven’t read yet, to get you more excited about your TBR pile! It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, which is hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. I […]
This book has FANTASTIC vibes. It’s queer, it’s here, it’s set in 2011, it’s about artists at an elite college and it’s mostly about the inner thoughts and lives of those artists. Very light on plot and I wouldn’t necessarily call what any of the characters go through “development”, but I LOVED the vibes. I […]
This was an interesting and intense novel about two siblings and survival and secrets and destabilization and coming of age. Each sibling’s story is equally compelling, but Bhumi has my heart. Each character is distinct from one another, and the political machinations and how they affect the people affected by them ring true. Four stars. […]
On the surface, this is everything I love in a book (queer Arthurian retelling! Welsh Arthurian retelling! sapphic!), but it really unfortunately felt like it Was Not For Me, which I don’t think was any particular fault of the book itself, it was honestly probably just the fact that it is Finals Week and also […]
This book was really weird and kind of whimsical! It’s also really short, so we never really find out what is going on, there’s simply not enough space. Why are there only women in this world? Why do fairies rule everyone? Not a problem, not an issue, just deal with it. Worldbuilding? No! Here is […]
Review once again by my roommate because I DNF’d this one thirty pages in, realizing that I actually hate myth retellings?? I received this at no cost from NetGalley, but my roommate checked it out of the library. (Can I count this for my library challenge? Hmm.) i really enjoyed wrath goddess sing and read […]
This book is SO weird. Did you like FEED but M.T Anderson but think to yourself that it would be much better if it were a retelling of the French Revolution? That’s what this book is. The thing is is that like… it ends exactly like the real French Revolution does. Also it made me […]
LOVE this cover. Also loved the part where I was anticipating this book but had not yet read it. Having read it, I’m really. Well. I think a lot of other people have said a lot better things on Goodreads and NetGalley than I have, and I will have to wave my hand vaguely towards […]
This book really didn’t work for me. I really wanted this to be a lot cozier than it was, but it’s set in 2013 at a Christian bakery and also the love interest has literally no personality (and it’s single POV so she doesn’t get better). It was not a romcom, even though I feel […]
