Wildwood by Colin Meloy
4.0
I read this book about 7 years ago when I was in middle school. I’m glad I decided to read it again, not only because I’d forgotten a lot about what happened but I enjoyed it a lot more the second time around. It’s a very descriptive book but I loved the plot and characters the most. And I think the beautiful illustrations served a wonderful purpose in terms of storytelling and world building. I love a book with maps so this was automatically right up my alley. I hope to continue the trilogy with Under Wildwood and Wildwood Imperium next. And Septimus the rat is my favorite character by far
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
5.0
This book has meant so much to me for the past few months, and will continue to hold a dear place in my heart. This book is a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, but most importantly, a friend. From the wholesome childhood of the book’s first half to the growth and young adulthood in the second, Little Women has reminded me of the things I love about the world, myself, and relationships.
J is for Judgment by Sue Grafton
3.0
The thing about this book series is that it helps me get out of a reading slump because these books (A-J so far at least) are average and get the job done. I kind of got bored halfway through, but that’s to be expected when I start craving something that isn’t so predictable. I will say the ending was pretty interesting. With reliability comes less excitement.
Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado
5.0
This is the perfect story. If I could give this 6 stars I would. I am someone who once found short stories uninteresting and a waste of time but now after reading the husband stitch all I want is to read short stories. I get it now. This story reminded me of Mitski and confessional poetry in all the best ways and more. Read this PLEAsE
