smilebackwardsFinished Reading:
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. This was very fanfic. Light and humorous. Enjoyed it.
Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. I remember now why I put this down the first time because I think I got the same edition and the font was so tiny! Like it must have been 8pt and the punctuation was invisible which was super annoying. Also I found the pacing really slow up until the end. (I thought I knew what was going to be the ending but it did not go that way.) Anyway, I would say it's a good book but I maybe wasn't in the mood for how heavy it was.
Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh. Like the blog except in book form. It's so heavy! I mean physically in this case, not emotionally like Doomsday Book, because the pages are laminated since huge chunks of it are images. Amusing.
Now Reading:
Non-fiction! Kind of personal medical-ish so redacted.
Failed Out:
Scythe by Neal Shusterman. Sometimes I still like YA stuff a lot and sometimes I feel like I've outgrown it. This one didn't work for me.
Up Next:
I had The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N. K. Jeminsin which I'm excited for but I didn't have time to read it before I had to return it so I'm back on the wait list.
