The Queen of the Night by Alexander Chee
2.75
this had so much potential but the protagonist was so blant, i didn’t really care for the romance plot and this easily could have been 200 pages shorter which is never a good sign to begin with. i will keep the book in my possession for aesthetic purposes tho because the hardcover edition has one of the most beautiful spines in history.
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
5.0
what a marvellous mind peter s. beagle must possess to write a story this beautiful. the writing often took my breath away. it was as lyrical and whimsical as you would expect a perfect fairytale to be but it also was much more than that. this one is a tale of identity, loss and love and what it means to be a true hero. there is so much wisdom contained in these pages, i could go on and on about it. i also cried quite a few times reading the last 50 or so pages. i am so glad i got to read this!!!!
Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh
3.0
this was just okay. do yourself a favour and do not read the back of the book as it spoils almost the whole story?? also i felle like the whole unlikeable character who is a gross little freak with zero compassion or empathy for anyone or anything around her and does basically nothing throughout 80% of the story was much better executed in “my year of rest and relaxation”.
Heartstopper Volume 5 by Alice Oseman

The Lover by Marguerite Duras
2.0
sometimes i love unlikeable characters but these were just boring and i just didn’t care for the story. at least there are some lovely phrases an paragraphs.
Dark Ivy - Wenn ich falle by Nikola Hotel
2.5
die charaktere sind okay und ich fand’s gut das der mmc mal nicht das totale bad boy image verkörpert hat. insgesamt hat das buch mir aber absolut nichts gegeben. es wird zudem komplett falsch als “dark academia” vermarktet. oke es gibt ne bibliothek? n bisschen kunst und statuen? (die statuen szene war einfach nur cringe btw…uff da schüttelt’s mich fr). zugegen ist das auch nicht mein präferiertes genre, daher hätte ich es auch besser wissen müssen.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

a bit too long imo but very entertaining nonetheless. super excited to watch the movie now!
