Stone Cold by Robert Swindells

4.0

Probably the best school novel we had to read. The ending disappointed me a bit but it fit the rest of the book.

I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman

4.0

Very One-Direction-fanfiction-esque. I love to read about fame and behind the scenes. Very easy to read and very hard to put down. The ending felt a bit rushed and a little too open for my taste tho

This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor by Adam Kay

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Alte Sorten by Ewald Arenz

4.0

Wunderschönes Buch.

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett

4.0

Though confusing at times (a result of the constant switch of narrator) very amusing and fun to read
Could have been a bit shorter

Gallant by V.E. Schwab

4.0

Schwab's writing style always pulls me in. The story is not necessarily new, we have seen those kinds of plot points before. And yet, I was not bored. I could not put the book down. Her characters always look at the world from such a unique point of view. The fantasy elements were easy to understand.

What confused me a bit was the ending: They didn't solve the problem of insanity, so it's only a matter of time before Death prevails. Or would her death seal the gate forever? But still, she'd lead a life of suffering.

A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab

4.0

love all the characters. a bit hard to finish and even then it ended on a cliffhanger. yay

Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach by Nnm.

5.0

Read this in a day. Bawled my eyes out for the end of the 15th and the entirety of the 16th chapter. Absolutely wonderful. Aubrey healed something within me.
