Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined by Stephenie Meyer
1.0
She says she tries to redo what she didn’t like about Twilight, but when you read it, it’s almost like she changed nothing except their genders. Beau is blank. Edythe is meh. Charlie is still cool though.
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett
2.0
It started out pretty okay and intriguing, then the main duo gets sidelined HARD in exchange for paragraphs of background info, uninteresting conversations/tangents, and weird exchanges. The climax definitely was NOT it for this book to be about Armageddon.
The Maid by Nita Prose
4.0
A lovely murder mystery novel with a clever twist. I’m gonna be honest: I thought Molly did it and just blanked it out of her head and Rodney’s behest. However, even though it become clear whodunnit, the bringing them to justice is what really captivated me. Molly, who is likely on the spectrum but am still unsure about, finding her strength in confronting how different she is from the world and others around her was a lovely mirror to myself. I’ve also struggled with understanding others meanings and intentions, and seeing Molly come to her own and understanding the advice her Gran gave, made me love her to bits. I’m looking forward to checking out the second installment and joining Molly again.
However, I still didn’t give a 5 star because of the twist at the literal very end with Mrs. Black. That bit was inoffensive, but very confusing.

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
4.0
An introspective look into the life we lead and the choices we make to be in that life. This book came at a time when I was really doubting the choices I’m making and while I may have done some of the things our MC has, it makes you wonder what would happen if you had your Midnight Library.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson
4.0
A fantastically laid back look at how you can just fucking relax. I tore through this book quicker than I thought I would (audiobook) and I couldn't have picked a better point in my life to read it. I'll definitely have to hold on to this and revisit when I start to tweak out about my life.
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

I do not fuck with this. Schwab has interesting worlds and concepts. I liked the way they wrote Addie LaRue and Vicious. This one though? Not for me. That's fine.
