Good Omens by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman

5.0

this book was well worth the hype damn its so charming and funny

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

1.0

eh. this book gave me blue balls.

I got this book for 50p and im glad I didn't pay full price for it tbh. it was largely underwhelming and incredibly dull at times (there were so many info dumps disguised as lectures that I did not at all care for) and there was nothing that especially wowed me. dan brown's writing of sophie also did little to impress me if you know what I mean.

The 100 by Kass Morgan

2.0

I bought this book such a long time ago, so I figured it would only be fair if I read it. I didn't really love it tbh. I don't like how much time the story spends in the past, and how little time is actually spent on Earth with the 100. It felt like there was a group of about 10 people on Earth, rather than 100 (well, 90 ish). I felt it would have been much more interesting to have more of the story dedicated to exploring Earth (the most interesting part was the last page ffs)

I did like how there was the split between people living on Earth and on the Colony (?) as it was deteriorating, I thought that was good.

All the guys in this book can perish I don't care for any of them.

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

4.0

okay so i read half of this in one sitting bc ive got nothing better to do with my life and i really liked this book. love that there was both bi and ace representation, and just monty generally being a chaotic bi was v good. this also makes me wanna read the other books in the series now

Never Say Die by Anthony Horowitz

reading this as an adult (?) i feel like im checking in with my dumbass nephew who keeps getting himself into scrapes. i glad he's doing better tho, scorpia rising did him dirty

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman

5.0

i finally read this book after all the hype kat and rosie gave about it, and honestly, i think it would have been better for me if i had read it in 2016. i think it would have been reassuring for me then to have read this book and known that it was okay to do what i was doing, yaknow? anyway this book was very good and the first time i think ive ever seen an ace main character, which was very cool (also really makes me wanna finish writing my podcast) defo gonna read more of alice's work :D

Goldfinger by Ian Fleming

2.0

i honestly believe the only reason this series was adapted to films is because you cant hear bond's internal monologue. fuckin yikes m'dude
