Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen

3.25

honestly i really loved the beginning of this book but towards the end i was just trying to get through it. the language was just super confusing. i definitely want to reread in a few years though

The Energy Bus: 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive Energy by Jon Gordon
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.

it was for a project for my english class. this book is pretty straightforward so i can assume how it’s going to end and didn’t feel the need or desire to finish it.

i loved this book but mostly for the characters. the plot was great too, but i was definitely more interested in the characters’ relationships with one another. i’m so sad that this series is over, but i’m thinking of reading the stolen heir duology soon so the tales of faerieland arent completely over yet. i’m just glad everyone is happy for now, i couldn’t have imagined a better ending :)

woooooowwwww. first of all, i loved getting another perspective of this whole story but i wasn’t expecting taryn to be actually horrible. like at first i understand why she was hurt but towards the end- crazy. she’s absolutely insane. 

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

4.5

overall, i thought jude was a super cool and badass main character, and i also loved cardans character. i liked seeing the progression of their feelings for eachother but i also like where they’re at towards the end of the story. i’m loving the suspense aspect of that. besides them, i loved the detail in this story and how i could really visualize most of the scenes. i do have to say that i’m not entirely invested in the political lore, and some of it was predictable but the surprise change of plans at the end really threw me for a loop and i loved it
