So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole

4.5

Who doesn't love a lesbian book about dragons? Family who would do anything for each other, and plenty of commentary about the world around us today. 

Nayra and the Djinn by Iasmin Omar Ata

5.0

Absolutely adorable, I loved the art style for it, I loved the story. Felt like something that would be made into a very amazing animated kids movie and I mean that in the best way ever.

The Wicked Bargain by Gabe Cole Novoa

5.0

NON-BINARY LATINE PIRATE WITH MAGIC DO I NEED TO SAY ANYMORE?

Dog Days by Jeff Kinney

3.75

Iconic Greg being an iconic bitch. He deserves to have his ass handed to him. He is true about the wild part of having a dog cuddle up to you after its been outside, but honestly LET THE DOG UNDER THE BLANKETS

Friendly Face by Andrea Waggener, Scott Cawthon

2.5

The stories in these books almost feel like they're just running out of ideas, not saying that they were the best to begin with but they're getting worse and worse and are no longer standing out. They are predictable within a few minutes of each story, then you're just having to wait it out and get drug along.

The Last Straw by Jeff Kinney

3.75

Bitch boy Greg is back at it again. Still have been loving rereading these books, they've been a good simple reread and its great to be making fun of the main character for how horrible of a person he is

Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney

4.5

ICONIC
I will say I am very biased as this is my favorite of all of the books, the movie is one of my top 10 of all time. And Rodrick changed so much of who I am. I always actually wanted an older brother like him, yeah he's an asshole at times, but honestly Greg fucking DESERVES IT. 
It's nice to be reading something so just simple,  mindless, but still silly and fun all the same.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

There's something fun about coming back and rereading a series I used to adore as a kid. And the biggest thing to note: GREG IS A LITTLE BITCH BOY. OH MY GOD IS THAT GUY AN ASSHOLE. 
I ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS BUT HOLY SHIT HE IS HORRIBLE.
Still a fun read though, but oh my god lets talk about such a horrible person

The Puppet Carver by Scott Cawthon, Elley Cooper

2.75

Weakest book easily. Nothing really kept me interested and they went a lot faster than normal, so just felt like they were all rushed

The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan

3.75

This has honestly been my least favorite of the series so far, however that doesn't change that it's a good quality book.
