emotional funny fast-paced

yes. star wars ya yes PLEASE. literal sweetest characters in the galaxy jules and izzy i LOVE you. kind gentle farmer boy and tough serious smuggler girl. the plot was a bit slow…. but the characters are so loveable!!! a cute little star wars book 

I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed reading this complex and rich book. Zadie Smith creates such complex and often unlikeable character, with such sharp contradictions, assessments, and analyses of modern cultures. And all through a retelling of Howard’s End! A must read SO GOOD. 
reflective sad slow-paced

Wow. Ishiguro’s command of memory and it’s imprint on our lives is so heartbreaking and stunning. A slow, sad, and reflective read.

fast-paced

a fairly formulaic romance novel but with a witchy and halloween twist. very lighthearted and sweet. 
fast-paced

this is my favorite realistic YA that i’ve read this years (also my favorite mystery). fast paced, suspenseful, imaginative, and filled with complex characters. and anything with a girl detective is such a win
