Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
3.5
Again, you like Zoom? I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first book but it set up a really interesting turn of events that makes me excited for the next book.
Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 1 by Mizuho Kusanagi
4.5
I adored the art style first of all, second of all the story was intriguing and piqued my interest to keep reading the series. I can already tell I am going to be obsessed with Yona and Hak's relationship. If you like a body guard type gig, you'll probably really enjoy this series.
Twisted Love by Ana Huang
3.5
I enjoyed this book for the most part. I found the ending a little out of left field (I also laughed my ass off when he started singing). I really liked Ava as a main character. My only complaint is the ending wasn't great.
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
4.0
A fun and quick little YA read - fast paced and easy to follow. Reminded me of reading a comic book. If you like the movie Zoom (which you should because it slaps) then I think you'll like this book.
Pet Sematary by Stephen King
4.0
This is classic King, reads like one of his TV movies - kinda camp, kinda extenstential, kinda makes you want to vomit (but not too much). I have heard not many people like the ending, I thought it was satisfying and fit with the tone of the book.

The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe

It was silly… not gonna lie it was actually kinda hilarious.
This was soo poorly written, it was serving fanfiction but not in a good way.

The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
4.0
Loved the Raven Boys - really enjoyed this sequel as well. It was faster paced than the first book and more focused on Ronan than the first book. I mean I just love all these characters so any time spent in this world with this cast is a good time. Very fun magic system, it never gets too unserious.
Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart
5.0
Beautiful, heartbreaking, tragic and yet still hopeful at the end. This is the coming of age story of a young queer boy who is trying to make it in a world that seems systematically built against him. He gets every obstacle imaginable thrown in his direction and you feel the punches along side Young Mungo just wishing you could pull him out of the book and give him a hug.

1984 by George Orwell
4.75
It's Orwell, what else is there to say. As a huge fan of Animal Farm, this is my second Orwell novel and I really enjoyed it. It's interesting to see how the language created in this novel has influenced the way we discuss censorship even today. It feels incredibly modern despite it's publication date.
