Animal Farm by George Orwell
4.0
I find myself reading Animal Farm every few years for some reason I’m not quite sure of. I wouldn’t say it’s one of my favorite books. I can never remember the symbolism. And I’m downgrading it from 5 to 4 stars. But I bet I’ll be reading it again before I know it.
The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix
5.0
*chef’s kiss* Ten out of ten. Grady Hendrix can do no wrong. A flawless book.
The Test by Sylvain Neuvel
3.0
I mean, it was fine. I knew it was only 110 pages but was still somehow surprised that it ended so abruptly.
Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff
5.0
This book was a lot of fun! Not necessarily funny but definitely a fun read. Can’t wait to see what Jordan Peele does with it.
Bird Box by Josh Malerman
5.0
I didn’t rate this book immediately because I couldn’t decide between 4 and 5 stars and I think I would land on 4.5, which I’ll round up. I don’t know what genre this is categorized under but I didn’t think it was particularly tense but I did really like the story and it was a quick little read so rock on, Bird Box.
Wilder Girls by Rory Power
3.0
I didn’t realize I was reading a YA book and I’m not sure I’m the hugest YA fan? Started strong and took a pretty big downturn. I got to a point where I just kept checking how many pages I had left.
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
4.0
I don’t think the GoodReads description really explains what the book is about well but I don’t think I could do a much better job. I guess it’s just a book about people doing the best they can, pandemic or not. I really liked it tho.
Normal People by Sally Rooney
4.0
A book about two people that I enjoyed immensely. I think the last 25% could have been stronger.
Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky
5.0
While reviews say that it tended to get sloggy towards the end of 700-odd pages, I disagree. I fucking loved this book. Guess I’ll wait another 20 years for what Chbosky brings next.
