Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare

The cliffhanger!!! I need to know what happens next.
This is way bettter than TMI. Maybe even better than TID?
Can't wait to finish this triogy and read Chain of Gold.
The improvements over TMI are so clear...
Loved it! I really like Julian and Mark and Tiberius. Such good characters.

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

Amazing!!! About a girl with mental illness. You just really get to see her spiraling and relate to her. One of the best books I've read recently. Made me question things just as Looking for Alaska. God dammit John Green!
Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
5.0
it is not only an amazing story but an important discussion around culture, race and perception.
Ifem and Obinze have different experiences in different countries but both are important and representative of how life can turn differently for people with the same background.
obviously, the main message is the portrayal of racism and the thinly veiled discrimination that happens in various ways but is nevertheless present. wether in america, england or even within nigeria.
it doesn't limit itself to critisising the "others" but also people from the within - which i believe is important in showing how we sometimes work in ways that end up hurting ourselves, whether because of ignorance or sheer stubborness.
great book, excellent insight, superb commentary around an extremely compeling story about people navigating their lives.

The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
5.0
loved Ronan's story - he was very well written as a morally grey character - u understood where he was coming from and how the good and bad interacted inside him and his mind
the jokes were just on point in this one - it was funny as hell
Adam is still a mistery but he came across in a clearer light in this one i think
overall, this book was way better than the first one and we got to understand the characters a lot more - their personalities, their reasonings - they grew and interacted with the world and it was wonderful
excited to see what happens between blue and gansey
the cliffhanger was interesting
