Claustrophobic and gory. A tour de force.
The Fire Is Upon Us: James Baldwin, William F. Buckley Jr., and the Debate Over Race in America by Nicholas Buccola
medium-paced
5.0
A powerful and extremely topical book. I recommend the audiobook because, not only is the narrator amazing, but it includes original audio from the Buckley Vs Baldwin debate in Cambridge.
Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle
4.25
I will need to revisit this, but the AI horror was truly unnerving.
Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez
fast-paced
4.75
If you'd have told me I would love a book with the miscommunication trope, I would have laughed. Even if you explained that it was wrapped up in fake dating (my favourite trope). But Abby Jimenez strikes again! I love that this series focuses on women in their late 30s with lots of realistic relationship trauma.
The One by John Marrs
fast-paced
3.75
It was really entertaining, but the ending of some of the stories were really disappointing.
The Night Ends with Fire by K.X. Song
fast-paced
3.75
A fun and fast New Adult fantasy. The characters are pretty obvious, but I have hope the series might become more complex.
Halo-Halo: A poetic mix of culture, history, identity, revelation, and revolution by Justine Ramos
4.0
I'm so glad this book exists.
