Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

4.0

It started off a touch generic fantasy but towards the end, I was really enjoying the unique use of magic.
I really could've done without the love triangle though. It felt very trope-y (not necessarily a bad thing, it just didn't add much to that actual plot).
I'm interested to see how the rest of the series plays out.

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

5.0

Such a raw, vulnerable and harrowing read. I admire Jeannette so much for having the courage to share her story.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

3.0

Was it the worst book I’ve ever read? Absolutely not. Was it painfully boring and hard to get through? Yeah.
If they were going to do a Hunger Games prequel, I would’ve preferred Haymitch’s backstory or the origin of the Games, not Snow being the most narcissistic character I’ve ever read and pretending he isn’t.
