Big Nick Energy by Morgan Elizabeth
2.0
DNF 51% in..... this is just sooooooo boring, and i think there's a very fine line of single parenthood that i am fine with reading, and this was a bit too much of that trope for my liking, as i couldn't care at all about the characters
Love in Colour: Mythical Tales from Around the World, Retold by Bolu Babalola
4.0
i don't think miss bolu babalola can miss on the love!!!
Off To The Races by Elsie Silver
3.0
on the weaker end of elsie silver novels, but still thoroughly enjoyed it and i fell in love with the world (some proper cowboying/farm, in case the chestnut springs were not filling that criteria enough), and super excited about the future books!!
Can I Tell You Something? by Holly June Smith
3.0
cute!! and in a plot that could have had so many things veering into creepy and uncomfortable territory, it was just wholesome and cute and respectful, and i think i couldn't have asked for more from a Christmas/winter novella after all!
Shark Heart: A Love Story by Emily Habeck
3.5
3.5 i think
absolutely loved the writing in this, exactly after my own heart: lyrical and metaphorical and evoking and just... beautiful, at the end of the day. i'll echo many other reviews and say i was way more interested in the first half of the book, and couldn't really care much for the second part (even if it takes a bit out of the uniqueness of this novel and its concept).

Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer
5.0
the cover of this book is exactly how my brain looked like trying to understand what is going on, and i loved every moment of it. such an interesting and provoking sequel!!! i absolutely loved what it does stylistically and formatting-wise, and this novel is a full, all encompassing example of its themes down to the fonts and colours picked up for chapters, and i love when an author believes so much not only in the strength of their storytelling, but in the virtues and interest of their readers.
glad to have pushed through, because the moments of 'eureka!' were brilliant, and testament to the glorious weirdness and excellence of this world of vandermeer.
