Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
4.0
i like this book way better than bradbury's other work. i enjoy the speculative nature of the writing and the way you have to fill in the gaps yourself a lot of the time. i can understand why this would put off other people but i enjoy it. minus 1 star for some weird shit about the underage girl.
Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
fast-paced
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
3.0
i read this for the thinly veiled homoeroticism and it certainly delivered. it's classic lit which makes it a bit annoying to read and it's not a really well-written book either. the twists and turns are predictable but i didn't mind because vampires and wlw.
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

madeline miller is amazing at modernising greek mythology while staying true to narrative form/language used in ancient greek fables. the writing makes me go crazy. & as a history nerd i luv it even more
