I read this book for an ELA assignment, and even though it's not something I would usually read, it was still enjoyable

Hendrix is so creative with the books he writes. Very clever, I loved it. Be sure to read the warnings, though!

The lunar chronicles are such a comfort series to me. I absolutely adore this series.
These books are a twist on fairytales, and of all the fairytale retellings, these ones take first place.
All the characters have so much depth and they're all so unique from one another.

enjoyable to read, it was horror but it wasn't super skin-crawly and gross.
Moderate: Torture
