Knock Knock by Nordika Night
4.0
It was a really good ending for this series. The couple from the last two books were mentioned a lot and I really appreciated that, as I was not ready to let them go yet. The book could’ve done with less s*x but that’s okay because the plot was good. Nate and Xavi have my heart.
The Marxists by C. Wright Mills
Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.

I mean I think it's self-explanatory.
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
3.25
Well, that was a waste of time. Gatsby deserved better and Tom's a misogynist.
I had to endure this because it is on the curriculum.

Powerless by Elsie Silver

This book was a little disappointing if I’m being honest, but overall I really liked the couple themselves. I guess I had a lot of expectations. Found family>> this trope has my heart and it’s very prominent in this novel - compared to the rest of the books. God I love the Eatons.

I never would’ve thought the nanny trope would do it for me, but it did. It’s beautiful and not just for the romance. I love Luke and Willas relationship. Everything feels complete and I can’t wait to read powerless.
Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel) Vol. 3 by Meng Xi Shi
3.75
Can we skip to the good part? This novel was quite a hard read if I’m being honest. Everyone said it gets better in volume 3, but I’m not too sure if that’s correct. I liked the first half of it. However, the second half was a mess.

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

It seems that classics aren’t my forte. I had to read this for class and It was hard. The story is great but without all the unnecessary descriptions it would have been about 30 pages.
