The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
5.0
"his only crime has been to admire you" - one of the many quotes I tabbed but I honestly cannot write anymore without spoiling even though I want to
I honestly do not know where to begin with this book. its not something I ever thought I would enjoy but omfg, it was so easy to get so sucked into the world, the story, the characters, the writing, basically everything.
I literally could not put this book down. like what did he put in this book I swear it was laced with drugs or something.
at one point I forgot I was reading and was so into it that I almost screamed when my mom knocked on my door lol like thats the best feeling ever and im so glad this book gave that to me.
anyways, im so excited to continue this series, I cant even explain how I feel right now like girlie is in shock

Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
3.0
i had to read this for my coming-of-age class. It’s a 3 star rating because i really liked the writing style and the world building but at the same time, i couldn’t get fully into it. maybe because it was for school lol but also probably because it focused on religion a lot and personally, i don’t loveee reading about it so much. Overall though, the characters and found family were great, I would like to know what happens to them but im not that invested in the book to continue.
The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

what i love about these books is how they pull you in so easily. the whole time, i was questioning wtf was going on and that made me always want to be reading it to know what was happening next. although, i didn’t like it as much as the first because i didn’t get the satisfaction at the end of understanding what was going on. i’m still so fvcking confused it’s actually funny
so i need to read the next book asap to get my answers because this series has messed with my brain
i’m having so so much fun reading these

The Prisoner of Heaven by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
4.0
this felt sooo long and its the shortest book in the series. it wasnt bad at all, I did read the last 150 or so pages in one go but it took me soo long cause not much was happening. i understand why though because this is setting up for the next book and also explaining the previous book so i really liked that. cant wait to continue and finish this series
The Labyrinth of the Spirits by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
5.0
this is definitely the longest book i’ve ever read and one of the best. i’m not even gonna lie, the amount of times i wanted to throw this book across the room cause i felt like i would never finish this was very high for a book i loved very much (i’ve been in a slump and was trying to force myself to read lol)
the character dynamics throughout the whole series was just so well done, and it’s so nice to read about characters who love stories and novels just as much as you do
it felt like i was saying goodbye to a family member when i turned to the last page, or several family members as i felt i knew each character personally
the constant repetition of “welcome to the cemetery of forgotten books” got me every time
also??! julian carax and julian sempere being the authors was such a nice touch, i just can’t believe i read a 3000 page story

My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Nagata Kabi
5.0
Im shocked at how much I enjoyed this! I randomly decided to pick it up and read it in one sitting because it was too good to put down. this novel was actually super sad and it was a little relatable at times but its just nice to read stuff like this sometimes and know you're not alone. also didn't know i was reading a memoir till halfway through because i figured and went to check the genres. so nicely done and its such a fun way of sharing an experience of your life for others to read and relate to.
i definitely think if anyone is thinking about reading this, to check the tw first :)
