The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder by C.L. Miller
1.5
This should have been great! A shy Lara Croft, but add a cuppa to make it British... Sounds wonderful!
But honestly... this just didn't do it!
All the characters felt so one-dimensional, and the back story in Cairo just lacked whatever. I think that's my overall issue with this book: the whole thing is lacking in that one thing that would make it great. I honestly can put my finger on it, but overall, it was just plain boring, and I found myself often skipping entire paragraphs to just make time go faster. I truly need to learn to DNF books *sighs*

Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins
5.0
Suzanne Collins, HOW do you keep breaking our hearts over and over again?? 💔⭐️
Sunrise on the Reaping is an absolute masterpiece! The original Hunger Games series first came out in 2008, and yet diving into this book feels like no time has passed at all. Collins has this incredible ability to weave the smallest details together across all her books, and I lost track of how many times I gasped, thinking, Wait… that’s from the original series! 🤯
She could take years to write another book, and I’d still be first in line on release day—apparently, I love emotional destruction. This isn’t just a 5-star book; it’s a 7-star experience. And now, of course, I must reread the entire series because I need to relive it all over again!
