The Light Eaters

This book takes you on an eye-opening journey into the fascinating world of plants, revealing their remarkable abilities to communicate and adapt in ways we never imagined. I really enjoyed how the author blends personal anecdotes with scientific research, making the complex subject matter feel accessible and engaging. It’s a thought-provoking read that challenges our perception of the natural world - I found it utterly engrossing.

It's better than the 1st book of the 2nd trilogy but I just can't seem to stop comparing it to Game of Thrones and I keep finding it comping up short.

Another Day

5 stars. This book (especially at the end) broke me. The tone, mood and writing is amazing and kept me drawn in. I think what I like most about the book is the fact that I fell in love with the concept of love. That’s the whole premise behind this novel: realizing the one who you’ve loved for years never really cared, or if they did, it felt that you had to prove you deserved love an attention; the one who actually loves you who hops from different bodies everyday (the sci-fi aspect) though you know you can’t have them; and loving yourself and making your own choices, NOT based on either party. I had moments where I said to myself “man, Rhiannon sucks and I hate her.” Though yes, she was annoying, I felt bad for her being placed in the relationship tug-o-war between Justin and A. In my opinion I feel that this is a great 2000s YA novel and more people should read it. Whether you start with Another Day or Everyday (the first installment) the book is still memorable and nostalgic in a sense. (But when I tell you, you are going to feel that ending HARD. My heart started beating so fast at the last two chapters

Chainsaw Man, Vol. 6

Once again the books are not falling short; my parents have been reading it with us and the drama with fantasy has us engaged plus they want to make sure it is kept appropriate. It is better detailed than a television series which is great for improving my vocabulary.

Rogue Protocol

This title is the third book in the Murderbot Diaries series, and was kind of disappointing after the second book, which remains my favorite so far. Although I didn't dislike this book, it felt slower to get through than the previous two. I did appreciate the adorable robot Miki and its human friend Abene, but the overall plot felt mostly like an excuse to set things up for the fourth book.

Fans of the bachelor and queer love stories will definitely enjoy this cute romance

Goodbye, My Princess

Wow. I started this at midnight, and by the time I got to the page 50 mark, I already knew I was going to be pulling an all-nighter to finish it. Didn't go to bed until 4 in the morning, but it was SO worth it. This book literally has me scouring Reddit for other translated Chinese novels. It was such a refreshing read (actually, it was super depressing, but that's neither here nor there). I feel like the synopsis doesn't fully capture what this story is about, because the romance---while present---isn't even the most impactful part of the story, and there is SO much more that happens. I can't even really describe it well to convince someone to read it because there is too much to say. If you like Asian-focused historical fantasies with just enough magic present without having to familiarize yourself with a convoluted magic system, I so highly urge (urge!) you to read this. Do not let the fact that this book is part of the YA collection deter you from picking it up, it is a gold mine. If I could choose only one book to reread for the rest of my life, it would immediately be this one.

Loved this book! It was a great end to the three part series, and Abby Jimenez does a great job at tastefully showcasing mental illness and trauma in modern love stories. Great summer read!
