The Fallen Fruit by Shawntelle Madison

adventurous mysterious sad medium-paced

3.5

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the time travel, and I became very invested with many of the characters' stories. That said, I felt that there were characters left waiting for answers that they would never receive, and I would have liked to see some follow up to that. 

Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

4.0

I enjoy a good mysterious environment, especially when there are hidden passageways leading nowhere. I had several issues with this book, like the constant character shifts, but overall I really enjoyed it. 

Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.

I just don't feel invested in the story anymore. 

The Black Friend: On Being a Better White Person by Frederick Joseph

5.0

This is the book. 

With a dictionary at the end to help explain common terms that come up in conversations about racism, anti-racism, and the US overall, this book is accessible for those beginning their journey to being a better white person, and an incredible tool for anyone looking to enlighten some folks in their lives. Run, don't walk, to get your hands on a copy of this book. I cannot recommend it highly enough. 

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella by Stephenie Meyer

3.75

I enjoyed this, though I'd like more insight into Fred! 

The Odyssey by Homer

5.0

This translation is accessible, fun, and informative, and makes it easy to follow the journey of Odysseus and his family, as well as their shenanigans with the gods. I highly recommend Emily Wilson's translation.
