Roman and Jewel by Dana L. Davis

4.0

it’s been a while since i’ve read ya i actually really liked! this is written from a musical theatre nerd, with musical theatre enthusiasts (aka me) in mind. cute! wouldn’t recommend!

Death in Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh

3.0

??ehh why did it end like that??

I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith

4.0

enjoyed this immensely. cassandra was such a loveable protagonist. i have to say i liked the first half of the book more than the second, mostly because i really didn’t warm up to the love interest introduced later on…nonetheless i would recommend this wholeheartedly! 

Push by Sapphire

4.25

this book was unlike anything i’ve ever read. i think precious is such a great protagonist, i was rooting for her from the beginning. i loved her willingness to learn and her ability to push through everything coming her way. 

Gigi by Colette

2.0

come on people, this girl is FIFTEEN years of age! 15!!! being groomed by a 30 something gross little freak to whom she refers to as “uncle”??? hated her relatives too. i was rooting for gigi but the ending was so disappointing ugh. writing was quite good.

One Day by David Nicholls

3.0

hmm i don’t really know. i found both main characters quite unlikeable, dexter especially drove me nuts at times. i liked the writing, it was a very easy read. the last chapter was very sweet and i cried at the end, but i’m a cancer rising so i get emotional at almost everything lmao. will give the netflix show a try!

De Profundis and Other Writings by Oscar Wilde

4.0

the language!!! oh!!! wilde is so good. de profundis is the letter he wrote to his lover/arch nemesis whilst being imprisoned bc homosexuality was a big no no in england back then. it is equally heartbreaking and hopeful.

Rest and Be Thankful by Emma Glass

4.0

reads like poetry.

Plath: Poems by Diane Wood Middlebrook, Sylvia Plath

2.75

uhmm i LOVE the bell jar but plath‘s poetry is not for me. at all. loved a few tiny bits but that’s it. maybe i just didn’t get it lmao

Was, wenn es Liebe ist by Sophie van der Stap

werde das buch nicht bewerten, da es nicht mein genre ist und ich es nur gelesen habe, weil esaus dem regal  meiner patentante stammt, die ich sehr vermisse. aber: ich fand es echt nicht empfehlenswert lol
