Adulthood Is a Myth by Sarah Andersen
4.0
Relatable, fun and cute. I am probably not the biggest fan of the art style.
Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin
4.0
It's been a while since I've read a YA contemporary novel. I wouldn't say that I've outgrown them but I find myself reading more from literary fiction and books suited for adults.
However, I actually ended up enjoying this book more than I had anticipated. I liked how the protagonist's voice seemed honest enough to come from a teenager who's finding her way through love, family, education, life etc. In this story, the main character loses four years of her memory as she trips down a staircase. I found the story engrossing as she moves on to figure her life as she had left it and then deciding what parts she would and could change and coming to terms with it, and herself. I liked the family dynamic of the story too.
Overall, it's a good book, one that I'd recommend for teenagers to try out.

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
5.0
Lovely,,,,
And yes Collins thnx for the cliffhanger... That was the last thing I needed......
But anyhow I loved this book.....
It was lovely to be back in that fierce maniac world of panem with Katniss and Peeta of course...
Character development of Haymitch Abernathy was interesting...
The arena however was stunning of all matters in the book.
Now it did seem like some futuristic government against their rebellious nation...
I just realised how much I hate Snow now that I ended up boiling ice cubes just to set them on fire.
Cuz..... FIRE IS CATCHING. WE BURN AND YOU BURN WITH US......
Further the romantic love triangle aka difficult situation kinda frustrated me....
It shouldn't have been that important which it became......
Sad
And Katniss changed... Which annoyed me cuz of all people she should have been the last one to change...
But somehow I did love this book. I could not love it like The Hunger Games which was the breath of fresh air and was way too enjoyable...but that doesn't make it less lovelier..
