Persuasion by Jane Austen

4.5

Classics hit different, and this one is not exception. Romance from the 1800s is absolutely superior to contemporary romance.

Oathbringer Part Two by Brandon Sanderson

5.0

I have never been more stressed reading a book in my life. Anxiety spren would surround me even when I wasn't reading due to the very fact that it was everything I thought about. 

This was very well executed, all kudos to Brandon Sanderson there.

Oathbringer Part One by Brandon Sanderson

4.5

Dangerous Liaisons by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos

4.0

I've used a long time to actually read this because I've spent my time elsewhere, but this is a really fun and interesting classic. Easy to read, easy to follow, and the character relations are all fun and interesting, some more than others. It's highly dramatic in the best of ways.

A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories by Terry Pratchett

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett

I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett

Paradise Lost by John Milton

3.75

One of those that I just don't really know what to think about. It's boring enough that I had a hard time staying awake for a lot of it, but whenever I payed close attention to what was written, what I read was beautiful (not story wise, but composition and writing wise. it's amazingly written). there are some fantastic references and lines. and yeah, i will not pick it up again unless i absolutely have to, but i am happy to have read it.

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

4.0

I get why people like Agatha Christe, and I get why detective novels are so popular. The classic whodunnit is a classic for a reason and I really enjoyed it. I did find parts of it boring at times, due to the constant rehashing of things we'd already been over, but I did enjoy it. Still very unsure whether or not I actually liked the ending.

A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett

5.0

I have very little to say other than how much I am in love with Terry Pratchett's stories. There's something so magical about them that has me smiling and just enjoying listening to them. I wasn't expecting this to be 5 starts, but adding everything up together, it definitely is.

I wish I'd discovered Discworld as a kid. I would've loved it, in another way than I am now, but I would've absolutely loved it and I would've benefitted from reading about someone like Tiffany growing up. If I ever have kids, I'm gonna read Terry Pratchett to them.
