I need to stop reading these sad gay books and expect myself to not cry. As if the whole basis is yearning, wanting to escape, abandonment, cold fathers, and absolutely gut-wrenching, makes me want to throw up, empty feeling moments. (aka me as a book)

5 stars (if I could give it more, I would) This book truly helps me understand why people wish they could read a book for the the first time again. I read this back in 2021-ish and was moved by this story; and still am to this day. But in 2024 I feel like I really dissect this book. The sweet writing of Madeline Miller, every word not wasted and every line like honey. This book is a perfect summer read as well for it’s beautiful scene descriptions: both in safety and peril. The way this book tugs at your heart; the love between Patroclus and Achilles is such a beautiful story of love, friendship and oaths to those you stay loyal to.

This graphic novel is a great book to read if you are a fan of FNAF. I liked how there are three stories in one book. The best story in the collection is Sea Bonnies.

Although I don't love books featuring precocious kids or animals, Annie Hartnett has again won my heart with her dysfunction family road trip novel. I loved all the characters and could get behind all of their decisions, no matter how terrible.

What an amazing sequel and a special tribute to the life of Linus and Arthur. I loved every second!!

Vol. 3 was awesome! We learn more about Yukio and Rin’s past, and the fight with the ghost train was intense. Rin is trying really hard to be a hero even with his scary powers. The story is getting deeper and I love the action and friendship stuff.

A really sweet romance with an interesting B-plot.

loved loved loved this book. Holly Black never fails to amaze me with her writing and world building. The story of Oak and Queen Suren is one that I never expected, and I love how she included little Jude and Carden moments in there for the reader!!!

A pretty interesting plot and decent characters, although at times it feels like the storyline was all over the place. The idea of having a USSA where everything is illegal caught my eye, but overall didn't really execute it how I thought it would. The whole addition of Boho Marsten getting obsessed with football when he was in the prison, but then going to South America for track instead also felt a bit whack. Why didn't the author just not add the football storyline, and expand on his love for track? Another flaw in the football part, was his team. Bo just left his football teammates to spend another few years in prison, and gets no consequence? Still, it was a pretty decent book, but I personally will probably never re-read.
