      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tiffany D. Jackson does it again. This is a Carrie retelling involving history and race, which is stunning. This is a horror novel I could not put down. Even though it’s YA (a genre I am slowly falling out of love with) it felt mature and heavy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Educated by Tara Westover</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid</image:title>
      <image:caption>While I don’t think this book is for everyone, it was for me. If you aren’t a tennis fan, I don’t think you will get much out of this book. However, I grew up in tennis, so this book really did a lot for me. It helped me fall back into the sport, which I never thought possible.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder</image:title>
      <image:caption>Female rage is a theme I have always loved, but this year I really got into it. This book follows a woman struggling with her new status as a stay-at-home mother. Oh, and the fact that she may be transforming into a werewolf is another thing she is dealing with. Everything about this story is gripping, and the conversation on motherhood and female rage is done really well. This is a novel I just cannot stop recommending and talking about.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Book Lovers by Emily Henry</image:title>
      <image:caption>I never thought a romance would make it into my top ten, yet here we are. I think this book was meant for me if that makes sense. Nora and I are so similar, and I loved reading from her perspective because it felt so similar to my own. And, she has my dream job, which is everything and more. The love interest, while mildly boring at times, is a genuine perfect match for me. This book focused on more than just romance, it also focused on family and small-town politics, which are dynamics I love to read from. I will say, the beginning was a little cheesy for me, but I don’t even care because of the way this book ultimately made me feel.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy</image:title>
      <image:caption>This book has everyone on the internet talking, and I am so happy for that. This book truly deserves all of the hype it is getting. McCurdy is a fantastic writer and when reading her story you can just tell that this was what she was always meant to be doing. Her story is honest and heartbreaking, but also somehow hopeful. I know that McCurdy is working on more books, and I cannot wait to pick those up. Hell, I would read her grocery list if she released it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Milk Fed by Melissa Broder</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is another book I originally gave four stars, but upon reflection, it deserves more. It is a beautiful sapphic story. And the Jewish representation was something I related to a lot. This book is just so prettily written.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Liberation Day by George Saunders</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Bunny by Mona Awad</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am still trying to figure out what went on in this book. But I am confused in the best way possible. If you are into weird books about angry women, then you will like this book. I feel like if I reread this book, it would leave me more confused than before. And that is something I love in a reading experience.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Down the Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison</image:title>
      <image:caption>Playboy culture has always been fascinating to me. And reading Madison’s honest and beautiful account was amazing. This may not be the “best” book or memoir, but it introduced me to a woman I really love following, and it helped contribute to my Playboy fascination. Madison is able to tell her story without the reader feeling the need to pity her. She is raw, honest, and even funny at times. If you don’t know about Holly Madison, I highly recommend checking her out</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner</image:title>
      <image:caption>When this book was released, it got tons of love. I didn’t pick it up because, at the time, I was not really into memoirs. And I am so glad that I waited to read this until I was ready to fully appreciate this novel because this is a truly stunning story. Zauner has the ability to describe grief in a way that is not technically forgiving toward the person she misses. Her brand of honesty and heartbreak is individual to her, but she is able to make the story accessible. This made me cry so much that while listening to it in the car, I had to pull over and cry. I loved this book and I will continue to rave about it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Jade City by Fonda Lee</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is one of the best openings to a fantasy series. Besides the plot and the characters being unique and gripping, the writing makes this book- and this series in general- so special. Lee has a talent for writing fight scenes. She is a martial artist, and that skill comes out in her writing. Besides just the fight scenes, every moment, line of dialogue, and description feels purposeful. The way she weaves seemingly small details into the greater story is masterful. I recommend this series to people who are not even into fantasy because it is that good. This was the first book I read in 2022, and it was the best way to spark the reading year.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Someone Who Will Love You In All Your Damaged Glory by Raphael Bob-Waksberg</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bojack Horseman is one of my favorite shows, so when I found out its creator wrote a book, I bought and read it immediately. And for me, this book did not disappoint. Each short story is weird, yet has a beautiful message. And they all carry the same humor and melancholy that Bojack Horseman has.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn</image:title>
      <image:caption>This sequel does not fall into the second-book slump. Bri’s character is expertly expanded upon, and the way the story progresses is everything I could have hoped for. I actually got the opportunity to see Tracy Deonn talk about this book, and you can really see all of the love, effort, and skill that want into this book. This has to be my favorite series that I am following.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 22 of my Favorite Books of 2022 - Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was a last-minute read and a last-minute favorite. This book really surprised me. I was hooked almost immediately. If you are looking to read something heartbreaking and motivational with a feminist twist, I recommend it. Garmus’s ability to weave every thread by the end, while convenient, I thought it was great.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - October Wrap Up - A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers</image:title>
      <image:caption>3 stars This book was forgettable, which I feel is a very difficult thing for a story about a cannibal to pull off. I felt like the narrator rambled on and on, and at a certain point I just didn’t care about her story. I think this would have worked better as a shorter novel or even a novella. But as it stands, it is pretty boring.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is my favorite manga of all time. It is the perfect amount of weird, gross, and terrifying (for me, at least). And adding to this masterpiece, the art is hauntingly beautiful. The story and the art combined create true art.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Would Give 6 Stars - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Would Give 6 Stars - The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones</image:title>
      <image:caption>This book confused the hell out of me. To this day, I still don’t fully know what went on in this novel. The atmosphere of unease and terror made this book outstanding. I am supposed to be confused and weirded out by this book and it really did its job.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Would Give 6 Stars - Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is another hard book to read, but it is so important and necessary. I flew through this because I was just so engrossed in this book. The writing feels like a gut punch and creates a sense of helplessness in the reader. That’s why this book deserves 6 stars, it is written never to leave your thoughts.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Would Give 6 Stars - Legendborn by Tracy Deonn</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is one of my all-time favorite fantasy books. The sequel is my most anticipated book of the year. I just love the magic in this world. Deonn makes a 16-year-old character feel her age without the book itself feeling too YA. It is masterful in its exploration and I cannot think of enough good things to say about this book and my love for it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Would Give 6 Stars - The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas</image:title>
      <image:caption>I feel like the hype around this book died down a couple of years ago, so this is my attempt to rebirth the hype. This book tackles really hard topics in such a digestible way. Yes, this book is a tough read, but it’s inspiring. This book truly deserves all the love it has gotten.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Would Give 6 Stars - Educated by Tara Westover</image:title>
      <image:caption>This book is absolutely harrowing. Westover’s story is intense and brilliantly told. This memoir has stuck with me deeply. Every detail sticks to my brain like glue. This is a book that deserves all the love and hype t has ever recieved.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Would Give 6 Stars - Daisy Jones &amp; The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Would Give 6 Stars - Ring Shout by P. Djeli Clark</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is another weird, confusing book that I am obsessed with. It is genuinely terrifying. And for such a small book, it packs a massive punch. The less known about the plot of this book is better, but I highly recommend this book if you like being confused in the best way possible.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Need to Read Before the End of the Year - Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímíde</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’ve had this book for so long, and I love the premise of this novel. I love dark academia and thrillers, so this is really shaping up to be a perfect read for me. I think the reason that I haven’t picked this up yet is that the main characters are teenagers, and recently I haven’t been loving books with teen main characters. But, I am still really excited about this book.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Need to Read Before the End of the Year - Lovely War by Julie Berry</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is another book I’ve had on my shelf for a while. I am obsessed with Greek mythology retellings, and I know this book is told from the point of view of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Historical fiction is hit-or-miss for me, so I am skeptical about this book, but I just need to bite the bullet and read it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On a whim, I went to a signing of this at Book Soup and had such an amazing time listening to the author talk about this book. This sounds like such a “Remi” book, and the author was so much fun to talk to that I feel like I am going to find myself relating to a lot of this book. I think this will be a quick, yet hard-hitting read that I will really enjoy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I’ve heard mixed reviews about Sally Rooney’s books, but booktuber, Jack Edwards, said this is a perfect book to read if you are in your early 20s, so that means I have to read it. Also, I keep seeing quotes from this book on TikTok that are so pretty. Since I’m in my ‘sad girl books’ era, this seems like a fantastic book for that niche.</image:caption>

I bought this book the week it was released (I dragged my partner at the time on vacation to get it, that’s how excited I was for it) but yet, I haven’t read it yet. I am not sure why I haven’t read it. I feel like I just keep not picking this up for some dumb reason. I just am dying to read this and need to read it as soon as possible.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - I Read Romance Even Though I Hate Romance Novels - Book Lovers by Emily Henry</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 5 out of 5 stars This book surprised the hell out of me. I was not expecting to fall in love with this book as much as I have. When I started the book, I thought it was entertaining but wildly cheesy; I couldn’t take it seriously. But after the first quarter of this book, I fell in love. It became so much more than an entertaining, silly book. I found myself so invested in the story that I cried in both sadness and joy by the end of this. I related to Nora, the main character, almost more than any other character I have ever read from. This relation to Nora made me feel much more connected to the plot. And seeing Nora make choices and how they affected the outcome of her story felt deeply personal. Her insecurities and mine are very similar, and reading them was both healing and, at times, hard to read. It really helped me fall for this book and make it an amazing read. Charlie, the love interest, is amazing. He is complex, sexy, and funny. He is everything I (and so many others) want in a man. I’m not one to swoon at fictional men, but Charlie is swoon-worthy, in my opinion. I love that this book is equal parts romance and family issues. It is more than just a romance. It has depth without trying to tackle too much. This is not a perfect book, but it is pretty darn close.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - I Read Romance Even Though I Hate Romance Novels - I want to see if I am missing out on a genre because I am not usually the largest fan of romance plots. But I keep seeing the same romance books over and over again and I wanted to make sure I am not missing out on anything. So, I'm trying this experiment out. Let's see how this goes.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - I Read Romance Even Though I Hate Romance Novels - The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars Well, I was absolutely right to be terrified about this book. When I posted that I was reading this on my Instagram, I got so many messages from people wishing me luck and wondering why I would torture myself by reading this. And let me tell you, this was torture. The fact that the love interest’s name is Adam is hysterical. This is a Kylo Ren and Rey fanfiction, and this book does nothing to hide that fact. It made me so uncomfortable reading loose fanfiction. Either be fanfic or don’t-don’t be both. The main character, Olive, is insufferable. Reading from her POV is like getting a root canal. She is annoying and thinks she is quirky but is actually just a pain in the ass. And Adam (the love interest) is the definition of ‘go girl, give us nothing.’ And them together is like a wet sponge kissing a chihuahua. There was no chemistry, and I found myself actively rooting against them. There are so many important topics in this book- women in science and how men in academia treat women- but they are covered so poorly that I wish it was not written at all. The attempt was poor; it was trying to be something that it wasn’t. I would have rathered the book find a focus. It tried to do too many things at once, and it just fell short. The only reason I gave this 1.5 instead of just 1 star is that I have to give it points for making me laugh. Not because it was funny, but because I was cackling at how bad this was. The writing was literally laughable. My hatred for this book knows no bounds. I could talk about how much this book makes me want to yack for ages.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - I Read Romance Even Though I Hate Romance Novels - One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Okay, this is barely a romance. I don’t know why I thought this was a light, fluffy romance novel but it was not. This story focused more on grief with a slight sci-fi element than a cute guy. But, it did have a romance, so I am counting it for this experiment. I liked this book, but it is pretty forgettable. Even writing this, I forget about half of the events of this book. The most memorable part of this book is the twist. As to not spoil it, I won’t say what the twist is, but it was an interesting one. It was predictable but interesting. And I wasn’t expecting the book to play with time, and I think the author played with the theme well. I also liked that we follow a married couple, but the marriage issues are not centered around the couple itself- it is centered around the main character’s grief. There just is not much to say about this book; it is just that average. Nothing groundbreaking, and nothing heinously wrong. It was not even that sad. It just existed. I just have no feelings towards this book one way or another, which makes it hard to even talk about it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - I Paid a Service to Give Me Book Recommendations - The Violin Conspiracy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars I did not know if I was going to like a book about classical music, but I now know that I do not like it- I love it. I love books that involve music, and this was no exception. Mixing music and mystery with sprinkling of family and legal drama is a perfect combination for me. This book follows a professional violin player about to compete in the most important competition of his career when he realizes his violin, which is valued at $10 million, is gone. We then go on a journey to understand Ray (the main character) and how he acquired the violin, why he plays the violin, and his life along the way. Through Ray’s experience we see the struggles he goes through as a Black violinist and how he is determined to do everything in his power to be taken seriously in the world of classical music. The only reason this isn’t a 5-star read is because the ending was a bit rushed. I felt the conclusion happened too fast and the wrap up did not pack the same punch that the rest of the book did. I can totally see why this was recommended for me and I am so happy I read this because it was absolutely stunning. I highly recommend this book if you like legal battles, music, family drama and dynamics, and mysteries.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - I Paid a Service to Give Me Book Recommendations - Little Eyes by Samanta Schweblin, translated by Megan McDowell and Eugenie Schoolderman</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars This novel takes place in a world where devices called “kentuki’s” exist. A kentuki is a little electronic animal with a camera inside it. And on the other side of the camera is someone controlling the kentuki. So, the person behind the camera, a “dweller”, and they cannot talk, they can only watch the person who has bought them, a “keeper”. The keeper can talk to the dweller, but the dweller has to figure out how to respond. But also, the keeper has no idea who the dweller is (unless they establish communication to figure each other out). But anyone can be a dweller, which can lead to intense dynamics. This book is told in little vignettes depicting the relationship between “keepers” and “dwellers”. You get perspectives from both sides which elevates the creep-factor of the book. You are thrown into the story, which starts out confusing because you have no clue what is happening, but throughout the stories you start to understand what is going on. This reads like an episode of Black Mirror and it worked so well. I was mildly confused through out, but in a very good way. I loved the exploration of different dynamics and relationships that arise. I definitely will be thinking about this book for a long time. This is a great recommendation for me. I know this is for me because I definitely would not recommend this for everyone, but it is for me.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - I Paid a Service to Give Me Book Recommendations - The Magical Language of Other by E.J. Koh</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: no rating (I do not rate nonfiction) This was a beautiful reflection of family and personal exploration. The mix of letters from the author’s mother and the history of the author’s life is stunning. In this memoir, we follow a woman who was left to raise herself after her parents returned to Korea while staying in the US with her siblings. Koh’s mother’s letters are beautiful, making this book stunning. The general memoir was good, but the addition of the letters brought this memoir to the forefront. The writing is breathtaking. There are so many quotes that I underlined and highlighted. I mean, listen to this, “The present is the revenge of the past”. C’mon, that is just stunning. This was heartbreaking, beautiful, and somehow hopeful. This was a great recommendation for me. I love memoirs, especially ones that surround multi-generational stories. So, I am so happy I read this and think this was an amazing recommendation for me.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>5 stars I loved this book, and I am so glad I finally read it. I can truly see this book's influence on the horror genre. The characters were fun and complex, and the plot was robust. But the setting is what made this book special. The cool thing about this book is that it’s a classic that doesn’t feel like a classic. It doesn’t feel boring or drawn out.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - July Wrap Up - The Nineties by Check Klosterman</image:title>
      <image:caption>no rating I am a history buff, so a book about the nineties is perfect for me. I loved how the author was able to combine his personal experiences living in the nineties, and actual, historical events. This was very American-centric, which is fine by me because I am from the US, but having a broader scope would have been interesting.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - July Wrap Up - Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory by Raphael Bob-Waksberg</image:title>
      <image:caption>5 stars This weird, seemingly nonsensical collection of essays filled me with equal parts joy, dread, sadness, and healing. BoJack Horseman is one of my favorite TV shows, and the writing in the show is mirrored in this collection. The dark humor and odd situations spoke to me in every way. This silly little egg book is one of my favorites of the year (so far).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - July Wrap Up - Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn</image:title>
      <image:caption>5 stars This book deserves the hype it has gotten over the years. I did guess the major twist in this novel, but I can’t remember whether or not I have seen the movie so I can’t tell if I just remember the twist from the movie or if I just got lucky and guessed it. But, this is a fun book (well, as fun as murder and domestic mind-games can be).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>4.5 stars This was an amazing read-it totally surprised me. I loved learning about music and the main character’s life while also figuring out a mystery. The ending fell a little short, but overall this was a really great read. The conversations surrounding race, specifically Black musicians, was fascinating.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - July Wrap Up - Love in the Big City by Sang Young Park</image:title>
      <image:caption>3.5 stars This was a really great exploration of young adulthood and sexuality. I think the translation made the writing and the stories feel a bit disconnected, which means I feel like the story won’t stick with me for very long.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reading Like My Zodiac - The Nineties by Chuck Klosterman</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love history, I love the nineties, and I love nonfiction. So, this book was an easy win for me. I loved how the author was able to blend facts with humor and personal stories. If you like history and US history, I would recommend this audiobook. However, I did not love how American-focused it was. I wished there was a bit of a wider scope to what was going on in the 1990s. Or at least I would have liked to see how American culture and events affected other countries. But I do understand that was not the purpose of this book. A nonfiction history with a bit of personality is a perfect recommendation for a Taurus. Taurus is an earth sign, and Taurus’s love to stay grounded, so a book based in facts but that is also very charismatic fits perfectly for a Taurus.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reading Like My Zodiac - To Write As If Already Dead by Kate Zambreno</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 2 out of 5 stars I didn’t know what this book was about before I read it, and I still don’t really know what this book was about. This is a pretty short book (just over 150 pages) but, I slogged through it. Every time I thought I made decent progress I had not made a dent. I just wanted to throw my Kindle across the room in frustration. When I finished this, I almost cried tears of joy because it was finally over. While I really disliked this book, I totally see why this was recommended. If I was an outside person, I would recommend this book to me. It’s pretentious and head-y, which I normally enjoy. I just think this was well-written. But the vibes and the idea are spot on.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reading Like My Zodiac - The Verifiers by Jane Pek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 3 out of 5 stars This is a detective, crime novel that I knew almost nothing about. I wish I liked this more than I did. The book did nothing bad it just felt very forgettable. I found the plot intriguing, but the way it played out really didn’t shock me or do anything new. I loved the main character though. She really stood out in this story. It makes sense this book was recommended for an Aries. The main character, Claudia, has to be an Aries. She is stubborn and strong-willed, and she has a noticeable fire about her. This was recommended for an Aries but the main character reflects traits of an Aries herself, even if the book does not have that same spirit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reading Like My Zodiac - It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 2 out of 5 stars tw: sexual abuse, domestic violence I was terrified to read this book. It is so hyped on BookTok, but I am not a huge romance reader and so I had no interest in this. I actually found myself cringing and the synopsis for this book. But, when I saw this recommended for Libra, I knew that I was just going to have to suck it up and read this book. And oh boy, did I hate this book. I actually didn’t hate the beginning because I found it really funny. But not comedy funny, funny because it was so cringe I couldn’t help but laugh. And then, the book was no longer funny. Really dark themes were brought into the book and even though the writing stayed cirngeworthy, the subject matter did not. The writing sucked, the pacing was confusing, the characters are insufferable (and have the dumbest names) the romance was terrible, and the plot was awful. I would not recommend this to my Libra friend, however, I do see why this was recommended for a Libra. Libras are all about balance, and this book places a huge emphasis on finding balance within yourself and your relationships. So, the themes are very Libra-esque, but the book as a whole is not.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reading Like My Zodiac - Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 5 out of 5 stars I absolutely loved this book. It was tense, and I couldn’t put it down. This is a domestic mystery/thriller done so incredibly well. I think it’s better if you know less going into this, but it is about a woman who goes missing and her husband knows nothing about her disappearance, except that he is being framed for her disappearance. The one thing about this book is that I guessed the major twist, and I do not know of it is because I just guessed it, or if I have seen the movie and already knew the twists. So, the entire time reading this book I spent half the time trying to remember whether or not I have seen the movie. While I have no clue what zodiac sign these characters would be, the essence and themes of this book reflect that of an Aries to the extreme. It takes the idea of revenge to the very edge, but the stubbornness and drive in which is woven throughout the book is very indicative of an Aries.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reading Like My Zodiac - The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 5 out of 5 stars This was a reread for me, and I was so happy to get to read this again. This is a classic about a man who sells his soul in order to stay young. It is written beautifully, has amazing quotes, and brings about such interesting themes to think upon and discuss. I also think this is a good book to read to if you want to read a classic but you’re intimidated by them. Yes, it has a bit of an old English style of dialogue (it was written in the 1800s) but it’s not too overwhelming or confusing. This is a really interesting pick for a Taurus, but after rereading it, the selection makes perfect sense. The themes of art, life, growing old, and old society really fit into the way I would imagine a Taurus to look at and approach these subjects. The beautiful writing combined with a dark, twisted plot makes sense for a Taurus. And the seemingly short quotes can be disecescted for hours, which is something I think a Taurus would enjoy. Overall, this is an amazing recommendation for a traditional Taurus.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reading Like My Zodiac - House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 4 out of 5 stars This book made me want to claw my eyes out of my head, yet I loved it. It was confusing, wild, and made almost no sense at all times. But, I enjoyed the confusion. A quarter of the way into this book I just decided to be confused and be okay that I would not understand what was going on. And once I started just to have fun being confused, I started having fun with this book. I do think this book is a bit too long, but overall this was weird and wild. This is an amazing Aquarius recommendation. Honestly, the book itself is an Aquarius. It is complex and one-of-a-kind and just so bizarre. Of all the books I read for the Aquarius picks, I would say this is the most accurate to the attributes of the sign.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reading Like My Zodiac - Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones</image:title>
      <image:caption>I loved this book. I found it insightful, insane, and deeply disturbing. I don’t want to say I enjoyed reading this, but I did enjoy the information the author gave. This is written in a journalistic style that is not for everyone. But I enjoy memories written through journal entries. This book concludes with an almost self-help feeling that I found empowering. I think this is a great addition to the true crime world. I think this was a great recommendation for an Aquarius. It has a social justice angle that is perfect for Aquarians. And the systematic, almost robotic, and strange writing is in line with how Aquarians think and behave.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reading Like My Zodiac - Bangkok Wakes to Rain by Pitchaya Sudbanthad</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rating: 4 out of 5 stars I knew nothing about this book, but it ended up really surprising. Even though I gave it 4 stars, it does feel a tad forgettable. However, the writing was so beautiful that it didn’t really matter that I did not fully connect to the plot. The plot was good, don’t get me wrong, but it just was not the easiest for me to personally connect to (which is a fault of me, not the book). This was recommended to me based on my Chinese zodiac, which is the Year of the Snake for me. I was curious to see if this was more accurate than any of the other recommendations. And while I would say this book is not as strong of a recommendation, it was still really good. And I think I would need to read more books recommended by my Chinese zodiac to fully judge and see the difference in recommendations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reading Like My Zodiac - I Might Regret This by Abbi Jacobson</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was a fun listen! The audiobook was narrated by the author, and that made the experience was even better. I do think that if I physically read this book, I would have enjoyed the book less. As a fellow insomniac, I found her “stream of conscousness” while lying sleepless incredibly relatable. I find this recommendation very valid. Abbi Jacobson seems to also have some trouble connecting her mind and body, just like an Aquarius.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - The Heroin Diaries: 10 Year Anniversary by Nikki Sixx Rating: no rating</image:title>
      <image:caption>I know Mötley Crüe is a red-flag band, but I don’t care I love the music. I don’t love the band- those men treat women and people terribly and I could never condone what they have done in the past. But Nikki Sixx’s (bass player and creator of the band) story has always been compelling to me. The way Nikki writes about his addiction is raw, scary, and deeply human. This book is not for the faint of heart. And if you know nothing about Nikki or the band this book is useless to you. But for me, it was insightful and I learned a lot about Nikki and the band. I didn’t want to rate this book because it felt super weird to rate someone’s literal journal. Like, if someone opened my personal journal and gave it a star rating I think I would cry so I didn’t want to cross that boundary.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - How to Fix a Broken Heart by Guy Winch Rating: 3/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>Am I embarrassed this book is on here? Yes, yes, I am. Please, just ignore the embarrassment, thank you. I felt like the advice would be really helpful for a teenager going through heartbreak because the author is very validating, but for adults it really does not add a lot of insight. The stories of patients were interesting, but this was a very forgettable read, to be honest.</image:caption>

The authenticity in which Thomas writes from is refreshing.

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - This Will be Funny Someday by Katie Henry Rating: 3.5/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>Part of me not loving this book was the fact that it is a YA novel, and YA just has not been hitting the same recently. I did love the humor and side characters in this book. I think the author does a great job of illustrating the place that the main character is in and why she does the things she does. This book didn’t do anything wrong, it just didn’t do anything extraordinary. It was overall enjoyable, but forgettable. Even as I write this I can’t remember any of the characters names. It was a nice, quick read but it did not really do anything special.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - Down the Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison Rating: 5/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>This memoir blew me out of the water. I knew very little about Holly Madison before picking up this book, but I am so glad my brain wanted to learn more after listening to her on a podcast. Her story is wild, but she never talks about her past as if she is larger than life. She always remains humble, introspective, funny, and honest. I listened to this on audio, and I am so glad I did. Holly’s voice is soothing to me and having her tell me her story makes it feel more real and makes each line hit closer to home. She is able to make a story that so few can relate to easy to digest. She is able to be relatable, even when the situation itself is not relatable in the slightest. This book truly surprised me. I cannot get the contents out of my head. And Holly has quickly become someone I enjoy following and I look forward to hearing what she has to say about certain subjects.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - Vladimir by Julia May Jonas Rating: 4/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>This story threw me for a loop because I was expecting to read an LGBT story with an age gap, but instead I am reading a domestic story about an aging professor in a loveless marriage who falls in love with a younger coworker. I am not mad about this surprise, though. This book got really dark in places, and I really enjoyed the fact that the author did not put in any work to justify or scold the main character’s decisions. The main character does things, and there is no morality being forced upon the reader. Often times, when a character does objectively horrible things you can feel the author’s opinion on that action coming through. But that is not the case with this novel. It truly is up to the reader to decide whether the main character’s actions are justifiable. And the main character herself goes through a journey to discover whether or not her actions are good or bad and rectifies the actions she deems questionable. This story was tough to get in to, but around the halfway mark I was hooked and could not put the book down.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - We Were Dreamers by Simu Liu Rating: 5/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>Simu is one of my favorite actors. I love how he is able to be so authentic while playing a role. In every character he plays, there is still a signature Simu-esque quality he brings to the screen. And I can’t help but fall in love with his smile-he is adorable, and I am only human. So, when I saw that he had written a memoir and narrated the audio version, I immediately downloaded it. I was so excited to find out more about Simu and how he became the actor I love today. And wow, did I learn a lot. Simu is incredibly personal, introspective, and charismatic in the telling of his story. I felt like I was sitting down with him, over a coffee, while he was just telling me about his past. And Simu did not have an easy childhood. But he never blames anything on his upbringing- he articulates the idea that something and someone can be both good and bad, that bad situations can end in good. And he’s funny and talks to the audience while also being serious. I just really enjoyed listening to this story. It did drag a tad in a few places, but it really didn’t take away from the story.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - This is All Your Fault by Aminah Mae Safi Rating: 4/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>This book was a lot of fun. It takes place all within a bookstore, so immediately it feels more comforting than most. I really liked the female characters and friendships of this book, but the male characters felt thrown in and added for a romantic subplot. But this book really is not about the men- it is about a group of employees (mostly women) who do everything in their power to save the bookstore they work at. The story is fun, but it also has elements of darkness woven in expertly well. I felt like the ending was rushed and we spent a little too much time developing the characters in areas that didn’t really need developing. The story takes place in twenty-four hours so there is not a ton of space to develop characters. With such a short timeframe, you cannot do a lot with characters you need to focus more on the plot. But overall, this was a good read and perfect for a quick, summer-time YA contemporary.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - Wow, No Thank You.: Essays by Samantha Irby Rating: no rating</image:title>
      <image:caption>I enjoyed listening to these stories, but I found the audio experience confusing. I couldn’t always tell when Irby was telling a story about her life, or someone else’s. I think if I read this book physically, I would have been less confused, but with my experience it all just blended together. This collection did not do anything wrong, but it just isn’t very memorable. This felt average.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - Loveboat Reunion by Abigail Hing Wen Rating: 5/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>I loved the first book in this world by this author, so I had high expectations for this novel, and I was not disappointed. The writing feels young, but in a fun way not in a negative way. And when the contents of this book are happy, it makes me physically smile. The family drama in this book was intense, but not unrealistic for high-powered Taiwanese families. I really enjoyed how this book was not just centered around romance, it was about family and seeing that you can choose your family and about finding yourself and staying true to your values. I loved all of the tech in this book it just made me jealous that it wasn’t real. And our main characters were relatable, especially because I am around their same age (I think I am a year older). And Sophie’s struggle of being perceived as “too much” when she wanted to be seen as serious, but serious when she wanted to be seen as “too much” is a dichotomy that I fully relate to. This was a great read that toed the line between young adult and new adult; an experience that just made sense to me. My one critique is that it made me want to stop everything I was doing and hop on the quickest flight to Taipei.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood Rating: 4.5/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is really hard to disappoint me when it comes to Greek retellings of epics and mythology. So, a recounting of The Odyssey from the perspective of Odyssey’s wife is a perspective that I was immediately intrigued with. I loved the style this was written in; the mix of poetry and prose is well executed. I also really enjoyed the sprinkling of perspectives from the servants. It finally gives a voice to the people who were considered objects on the original poem. And Atwood mixes the ancient story with modern language and perspectives which I found incredibly interesting.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - The Chosen and The Beautiful by Nghi Vo Rating: 3.5/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>I knew nothing about the plot of the book other than it was queer, so when I realized that it was a retelling of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, I knew I was in for an interesting ride. And just like The Great Gatsby, this novel took forever to get interesting. The Great Gatsby is one of my favorites, and even I will admit that it is hard to get into the story. However, this story features a Vietnamese immigrant who has grown up with our beloved characters (Jay, Nick, and Daisy). So, there is an added element of race conversations and how Asians and Asian Americans were treated in America. There is also a magical element thrown into story. That was jarring because I was not expecting it, so I was mildly confused for about ten pages until I realized what was going on. I enjoyed the story overall, but it took over half of it before I started to really care about the story. I enjoyed what this book was doing, I just wish that the pacing was better and more cohesive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid Rating: 5/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>Of course, I reread this for the second time this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if u read this at least two more times before the year is over. This is my favorite book of all time, and that gets stronger and stronger with every read. I talk about this book at every opportunity (it’s even mentioned in my dating profile, that’s how much I bring it up). I love reflecting on Evelyn’s character because every time I read it, she changes. I know this book so well that at this point I can pick out every little piece of symbolism, foreshadow, metaphor, etc. which enhances the entire experience. I know this book has mixed feelings (people think it is over-hyped) but it just speaks to me. And it makes me feel sad, but incredibly safe. Once I enter this story, I know I am going to be seen. This book is my world, and no, that is not an exaggeration.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - Just By Looking at Him by Ryan O’Connell Rating: 4/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>I didn’t read a synopsis of this book, so when it opened on a graphic description of male anatomy, I knew I was in for an interesting ride. This book was such a fun time, but my favorite aspect of it was the exploration of disability. Specifically, I enjoyed the narrative about physical disability as it relates to sex and relationship (both romantic and friendly). The main character has a mild case of Cerebral Palsy, and he doesn’t hold back in describing how uncomfortable he is in his own body and how his disability adds to his insecurity in a way that feels real. Like, he talks about his disability and how it affects his performance during sex, which is something I have not read before, but I found this insight very real. This book felt a little long, and one of the characters really bothered me, which is why this did not receive the full five stars. But the discussions in this book are very memorable, and it was overall a good example of dark, satirical humor.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - Sometimes I Trip on How Happy We Could Be by Nichole Perkins Rating: 2.5/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>Maybe collections of essays are not my favorite books to read. This is the first essay collection I read this year and it did not set me up on the right foot. I do really respect what this collection is doing, I just personally didn’t enjoy most of the essays. It was a short collection, but it took me forever to get through. It felt like my eyes were in mud- I just could not get through the words. I don’t think this book did anything bad or wrong, I just think that it personally was not written for my tastes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - Our Work is Everywhere by Syan Rose Rating: no rating</image:title>
      <image:caption>I loved the artwork in this graphic novel, but the font used was really hard for me to read. I feel like I missed a lot of the history and the story because I physically could not read the font. But I really enjoyed learning about trans and queer art history. And I loved examining the bright colors and line work in this.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - My Evil Mother: A Short Story by Margaret Atwood Rating: 4/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was a fun, quick read. I got it for free through Kindle Unlimited; I don’t think I would pay for this short story but if you are able to get it for free then it’s a good read. It has a magical element that I still don’t know if it is real or metaphorical. I think that maybe it is both. But personally, I love stories where the magical elements are ambiguous. This didn’t blow my socks off, but it’s an Atwood story, so it’s enjoyable at the very least.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - June Wrap Up - Daisy Jones &amp; The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid Rating: 5/5 stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is my millionth time rereading this book, and I still love it immensely. Each time I read this, I fall more and more in love with the characters. I truly feel like these people are real- that I am reading a work of nonfiction rather than fiction. I think because I know how the story pans out, I am able to pick up on smaller details that mean more to someone who is head over heels in love with these characters. And the pain displayed throughout the plot hits harder. I am also filled with so much joy while rereading this book. The joy these characters feel is a joy I feel and understand. This is a definite comfort read for me. And I am so happy I reread this book when I did. For me, this book makes life’s pains less painful. I love how I am at a place with this book where I can pick it up, flip through, and find the section that best reflects what I need at the moment.             This is my second reread of this book so far this year, and I am sure that it is not my last. When I read this book earlier this year, I left the book feeling somewhat sad at the ending- upset that it didn’t end in a way I would have liked. However, on this reread, I felt cautiously wistful. The ending had a new layer to me, and this layer was only able to exist with the experience I had gained since my last reread.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of my favorite authors, and two of my favorite books are Daisy Jones &amp; The Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, so this book is my number one most anticipated book of the year. The subject of this novel sits close to home; just like Carrie Soto, my mom is a professional tennis player. I have grown up around tennis- I know its in and outs. I never would have originally asked for a book centered around Carrie Soto, but now that it is being offered I cannot wait to tackle this story.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have always loved this cover, and every time I went into a bookstore I almost bought it. And once I finally did pick this book up, I was very excited to read these essays. But this did not live up to my self-made hype. I found myself slogging through each story. Even though the stories were quite short, I found myself dragging through. I even borrowed the audio version from my library so I could just get through this. I am really bummed I didn’t like this because a lot of the stories were really interesting. But I just think her writing style and most of her stories were just not for me.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I know this is probably not everyone’s favorite cover, but I am OBSESSED with it. I have seen it on Instagram millions of times and each time I see it, I fall in love. I still don’t really know what this book is about, I am assuming that it is a coming-of-age novel, but I don’t even care. I love the contrast of the hot pink against the painted, sad woman. Truly one of my favorite covers to look at and I cannot wait until I finally get to see if the contents math the cover.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2022 - Jade City by Fonda Lee</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is an amazing beginning to a fantasy series. This book throws you right into the thick of the action, does not spend too long on worldbuilding, and does not overwhelm you by “info-dumping”. The characters are dynamic, confusing, and distinct. The setting is a beautiful blend of fantasy and real-life places. And since the author is a martial artist, the fight scenes feel so real- I feel like I am watching the scene rather than reading it. It is the only series I have really picked up this year, and I am hooked. I still haven’t read the last book, but that’s because I am not ready to leave the world written in this book quite yet.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It should be no surprise that this book is on my list. I will spare no chance to talk about this book. I have also read this twice this year, and each time I cannot help but be happy. I also feel incredibly emotional (aka heartbroken) while reading this book, but it will always make me happy. This story, these characters, and the audiobook are what I turn to when I need comforting.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2022 - I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston</image:title>
      <image:caption>I loved this author’s previous books, and I just know that I will love this book as well. Also, the woman on the cover kind of looks like me so that’s even more motivation to read this book.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2022 - Educated by Tara Westover</image:title>
      <image:caption>This book is critically acclaimed for a reason. The contents of this book are wild, the author creates a sort of calm quality that helps the reader grasp the insanity of the book. You start this book for the story, but you stay for the author. As the book progresses, you fall deeper and deeper into Westover’s past and you cannot do anything but continue reading. I had the same reaction to reading this book that I do when reading an intense thriller. I was gripped, I was shocked, and I was in disbelief. This is the mark of not only a good memoir, but also a great book.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have had my eye on this book for a long time. And while I am on this kick of reading memoirs and nonfiction I want to make sure I get to this. I think hearing from the mothers of these three very influential men is so interesting. I feel like this insight will add depth to my own knowledge of history and of these men. I just cannot wait to crack open this book to learn more.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2022 - Down the Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison</image:title>
      <image:caption>I mentioned this book earlier, but I did not fully delve deep into why this book was a huge surprise for me. I first heard about Holly Madison from a podcast, but it was such a good episode that I knew I needed to know more about Holly’s story. I knew I was going to like this book, but the depth of my love for this book shocked me. I found a new person to look up to, and I got to unlock more secrets to a world I have spent so long trying to understand. Holly blends being vulnerable and being strong seamlessly. I am truly astounded by this book, Holly’s story, and how quickly I fell in love with her.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2022 - Jade War by Fonda Lee</image:title>
      <image:caption>While there was no real contest in this category, I still really loved this sequel. I didn’t love this book as much as the first book (Jade City), I still really had a great time. The plot continues seamlessly, the characters change in ways that are realistic. I fall further into caring for these characters and story. At this point, I feel like I personally know the main family in this book.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2022 - Where the Crawdads Sing</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was my favorite book of last year, so saying that I am “excited” for the movie is an understatement. I am OBSESSED with the casting, which has only heightened my excitement. Funny story, I misread the release date as June 10, not July 10 so I texted my best friend (who also loves this book) that we needed to get tickets. She then had to gently let my hopes down that the movie will not be out for another month.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2022 - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid</image:title>
      <image:caption>I will go to my grave talking about this book. I reread this book twice this year (so far). This is my comfort book, yet it still makes me cry. I think I feel even more emotional towards this book now because I know it so well. I know every plot point, moment, and word in this book, so knowing what is about to happen in each chapter makes me cry even more than the first time I read this novel.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2022 - In My Dreams I Hold a Knife by Ashley Winstead</image:title>
      <image:caption>I need a good, school-based thriller in my life; I think it will make me very happy. And I got this for my birthday (shoutout @wowiread) so I feel like I should read this before my next birthday approaches. I don’t know much about this book, but I do know that it has great reviews. So, I am impatient to read this.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2022 - Down the Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison</image:title>
      <image:caption>I listened to this on audio, and I think that is why I loved this book so much. Hearing Holly tell her own story is a magical experience. I have had a fascination with Playboy and Playboy culture for a very long time, and so this book was perfect for me. This memoir is not just about Holly’s story, it is also about all the lessons she learned and how she truly became herself even when the odds were stacked against her. I love Holly as a person, and her book made me love her even more.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I loved this comic series, and I was super excited when the show was released. However, the show came out during finals season so I didn’t get a chance to immediately watch it. But now that I am on summer break I can watch this. It has amazing reviews, and so once I am in a cute, cuddly mood I am sure I will binge this show.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My 21 Favorite Books I Read in 2021 - 2. Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid</image:title>
      <image:caption>This story follows the infamous Mick Riva’s four children as they throw the biggest party of the year in Malibu. This story switches between present-day 1980s party day and takes you back in time to understand how their past shaped the Riva kids’ present. It comes as no surprise that Taylor Jenkins Reid is on my favorites list. She consistently surprises me with her writing and her characters. I love the sibling relationships in this book. They are so complicated and realistic. Not only are the sibling relationships amazing, the parental relationships are beautifully crafted. They are messy and imperfect, but they are also heartwarming and heartbreaking. The romantic intertwinings surrounding the four main characters are painful and genuine. Nothing and no one in this story is perfect and beautiful. Everyone is flawed, and that is what makes this story s fabulous.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My 21 Favorite Books I Read in 2021 - 6. Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson</image:title>
      <image:caption>Enchanted wants to be a famous singer. She finally gets the chance to live her dream when R&amp;B legend Korey Fields spots her at an audition. Her world turns upside down when she becomes famous and her professional relationship with Korey becomes romantic. Is Enchanted willing to do anything for fame and love? This book ripped my soul out and threw it in the garbage. I sobbed and gagged throughout this novel. The realness of Enchanted’s situation hit me hard. Knowing that this is a fictional story but that the subject is very real for so many people makes this book so visceral. Jackson does a great job at writing this incredibly difficult topic.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My 21 Favorite Books I Read in 2021 - 7. Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ellingham Academy is the home for the nation’s most elite minds. Stevie has the unique chance to study how to be an outstanding detective at this school, and most importantly, she gets to study the infamous murder that took place in the 1920s at Ellingham Academy. But when she gets close to solving the murder, Stevie is in more danger than she could have ever imagined. YA mystery novels are not usually my favorite, but this one really worked for me. It had a perfect mix of fun sleuthing and serious danger. Stevie is a great character to read from. I love this series and this book and I think that if you are a fan f the mystery genre, you will enjoy this book.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My 21 Favorite Books I Read in 2021 - 5. Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas</image:title>
      <image:caption>The prequel to The Hate U Give follows Maverick Carter when he gets the news that he is going to be a father at seventeen years old. He is confused and scared, but most of all he just wants to do right by the people he loves. This book did an amazing job at not villainizing the main character for being a teen parent, but also did not make him perfect. The main character was flawed, but you could see he was doing the best he could with the tools he had. It is an important story that not only adds to the The Hate U Give universe but also works really well on its own. Every detail feels purposeful, which helps make this book feel almost like a memoir.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My 21 Favorite Books I Read in 2021 - 9. The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tau never wanted to be a part of the war his people have been fighting for centuries. But when his plan to get injured and dismissed from battle goes wrong, he gets a new plan. He wants to become the best swordsman that has ever existed. This book has the perfect mix of action and plot development. This novel is not all battles or training, it also has heart and pain. Tau is so tortured and develops so much through this novel that it is a joy to read. The writing is really great. If you are into action-packed political fantasy novels, then I would highly recommend this book.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My 21 Favorite Books I Read in 2021 - 4. The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rin is normally no one special, but that all changes when she takes the Empire-wide exam (called the Keju) and passes with flying colors. She then gets thrown into a school and a war she knows nothing about. She is forced to become a warrior while also facing prejudice within the world she is fighting for. This fantasy changed the game for me; it made me realize that YA fantasy is not always going to cut it for me; I want the darker stuff and this book delivered. This story broke me; it was painful and wild. I really need to continue with this series, but I am afraid of how much it will make me feel. The exposition is not too long, the training portions are such fun, and the war aspects are harrowing. If you like grimdark fantasy, I highly recommend this book.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My 21 Favorite Books I Read in 2021 - Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is a story about a young woman, Kya Clark, who lives in the marsh and meets amazing (and not so amazing) people along the way. We follow her throughout her time growing up and how she comes to understand the world around her. I loved this book way more than I expected to. My roommate kept recommending this book and online I had heard such good things, but I never thought it was going to be for me, but I was so wrong. I cannot stop thinking about this book. I read it back in April and I still remember every emotion I felt while reading this novel. The character work is astounding- every person feels real and complex (even the side characters). This book helped me discover how much I love the southern bayou setting. I remember my roommate being asleep and me sobbing silently, trying to not wake her up. I think every kind of reader will enjoy this book just because of how raw and visual it is.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My 21 Favorite Books I Read in 2021 - 10. The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones</image:title>
      <image:caption>This novel follows four different friends in the aftermath of a hunting trip gone awry. Trust me, the less you know about this book going in, the better the book will be. This blew me away. I was confused most of the time but in the best way possible. Even though I almost never knew what was going on, I could not get enough of this story. The characters were unique, the horror was terrifying, and the writing was astounding. If you like horror, I cannot recommend this book enough.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My 21 Favorite Books I Read in 2021 - 3. One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston</image:title>
      <image:caption>August moves to New York to finish school, and one day on the train she meets a beautifully mysterious woman on the train. She sees this woman so often that over time, she starts to fall in love with her. However, when she realizes this woman cannot leave the train because she is stuck in time, August does everything in her power to get her dream woman. The romance in this book made me want to read more romances, and normally I hate reading within the romance genre. The blend of the real and the speculative is just magnificent. The timeline actually makes sense, which is difficult to do in any story surrounding time and time travel. The romance was complicated but beautiful. The friendships August makes are stunning. Overall, this book has made me immeasurably happy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My 21 Favorite Books I Read in 2021 - 8. These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s 1920s Shanghai and the Scarlet Gang and their rival gang, the White Flowers, rule the city. Daughter of the Scarlet Gang leader, Juliette Cai, is learning the ropes to be able to run the gang one day. But when she runs into Roma Montagov, heir to the White Flowers and her ex-boyfriend, her world gets much more complicated. It gets even more complicated as the city is overrun by a virus that is turning its citizens into monsters. It is up to Juliette and Roma to figure out what’s poisoning their people. This Romeo and Juliet retelling was written expertly crafted. The setting was unique and I loved the aspect of the monsters and the virus within this classic story. The romance was not too overwhelming; it was just enough to give the reader butterflies without being the entire story. This story hit hard, and I am sure the sequel hits even harder.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love that this is queer, authentic, and humorous. It deals with issues that every person, whether young or old, goes through. I loved how the author was able to weave humor and joy into the sadness and the heaviness of the story. I think it was a beautiful conclusion and a beautiful story overall.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I just found this story dull and unoriginal. From an author with the notoriety of Stephen King, I am expecting a lot more out of this than what I got. To be perfectly honest, this was mediocre at best.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I loved staying within the Daisy Jones and Evelyn Hugo world- the little easter eggs are just heartwarming and fill me with so much joy. I loved being in the 1980’s in Los Angeles as well. While I was not alive in the 80’s, I am a Los Angeles native and it filled me with such happiness reading about Malibu, which is one of my favorite places in the world. I found these characters so intriguing. I couldn’t help but fall in love with the family and I could not stop trying to unspool the threads that make up each character. If you loved Daisy Jones and the Six and/or The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, then I can almost guarantee you will enjoy this book. It is a perfect summer read.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A cute gay romance is always a good recipe to get me happy, and this did not disappoint. I either absolutely love romance stories or despise them. Sometimes they are just way too cheesy, but that was not the case. This had the perfect mix of cheese and realness. If you’re looking for a sapphic romance with mental health representation, I highly recommend this.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I was shocked by the content in this book. I was truly expecting a vapid protagonist, and I got more. Of course, it was still a bit shallow and it barely touched the surface of feminism and what feminism actually is. But this was way darker than expected. And as you know, I love a dark book. I don’t necessarily think this book is for everyone, but it is definitely the most shocking book I’ve picked up this year.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I really enjoyed Emergency Contact and the premise just really sounds so interesting. Chloe from @bookswithchloe and Jaysen from @ezeekat both recommended it, which is very promising because I have very similar tastes to both these creators, so I have HIGH hopes.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The writing style is what got me. This mix of magic and real is just poetry. I cannot even fathom how much this book shook me to my very core and really opened my eyes to the reality of so many young, Black women.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love this author’s previous duology, the Blood of Stars duology. I know that the duology has mixed reviews, but I absolutely love it. So when the author announced this book, I immediately added it to my Goodreads TBR. The fact that I haven’t gotten to it yet is honestly a crime against myself.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Previously to reading this, I had no interest in reading this novel. But my roommate could not stop raving about this book, so I had to pick it up. And I am so glad I did. This had heart, it had love, it had struggle- it had everything you could ever look for in a coming of age novel. It seriously may be the best coming of age story I have ever read. The characters felt so real to me; every emotion they felt I also felt. I feel like this was more of an amusement park of emotions, not just a singular roller coaster. This book even unlocked my love of Southern (American Southern, but i would be interested in reading about other countries “southern”) setting novels. If you have not yet picked up this book, I highly recommend it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A dark academia thriller featuring Black excellence? Sign me the f*ck up. I have only heard glowing reviews about this book, and while I know almost nothing about this book, I have a great feeling that I am going to love it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Books I Need in My Hands Right Now - How We Fall Apart by Katie Zhao</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love seeing authors diversify the dark academia space, and this book is no exception. I think the premise sounds so dark and the characters sound so messy. This gives me very much popcorn and drama vibes and I am here for it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Non-Fiction Books If You Hate Non-Fiction - They Called Us Enemy by George Takei</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many memoirs are written in graphic novel format, and I love this type of reading. It’s quick, it’s easier, and it’s just a great method. This one, in particular, is informative of this person’s life, as well as beautifully illustrated and informative of Japanese internment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Non-Fiction Books If You Hate Non-Fiction - This Book is Gay by Juno Dawson</image:title>
      <image:caption>This book is now a little old, but it taught me so much about sexuality. I had no idea about certain terminology, and this book made it easy to understand and fun to read.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Non-Fiction Books If You Hate Non-Fiction - Becoming by Michelle Obama</image:title>
      <image:caption>This book, especially the audiobook, is phenomenal. It feels like a casual conversation you are having with the former first lady, and I cannot recommend this enough.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Non-Fiction Books If You Hate Non-Fiction - Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You: A Remix of the National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds</image:title>
      <image:caption>I tried reading the full version of this, but I found myself getting distracted and I was missing information. This version, however, took this important information and made it easier for me to read. I did not know a lot of this history, and I feel much more educated just from reading this "watered-down” version.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Non-Fiction Books If You Hate Non-Fiction - An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States for Young People by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Jean Mendoza, and Debbie Reese</image:title>
      <image:caption>They have an LGBTQ+ version that I liked but didn’t love, but this I thoroughly enjoyed. I did not know 90% of this information. If you know nothing about Indigenous lives and you live in the United States, you need to read this book. It’s so easy to read, and it’s gripping.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Last 10 Books Tag - 2. The Last Book I Reread?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I read this for the Weekend Bookclub over on Instagram. I listened to it this time around, and I felt so happy being back in this world. It got 5-stars, as it did the first time I read it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Last 10 Books Tag - 10. The Last Book You Couldn’t Get Ahold Of?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Okay, if you’ve been here for a long time, you know that I don’t want to read this book. However, when I first heard about this book, I wanted to read it (before I knew the synopsis). But this was before the book was popular; it was either expensive or tough to get your hands on. In hindsight, I am glad that I never spent the money to buy this book or went through the time to find it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Last 10 Books Tag - 8. The Last Book You Had to Replace?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Okay, this is a funny story. I was reading this class for my AP Literature class in high school, and I decided to take this in the pool (with a float) and read there. I did this often, but this time something went wrong. I jumped on the float, my book, phone, and pen in hand, and the next thing I know, I’m doing a backflip into the water. Thankfully, my phone was fine. Less thankfully, the book was submerged, and it passed away. Since I was writing a paper on it, I needed a physical copy. So, I had to order a new one. This story always makes me laugh. And sorry, Ms. Morrison, for drenching your book.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Last 10 Books Tag - 6. The Last Book You Had Signed?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Around this release, one of my local bookstores (shoutout to Book Soup) had this available for author personalization. It came out around my birthday, so I decided to get it personalized as a gift to myself. I get signed editions from book boxes and Barnes and Noble, but this is the last personalized signed book I got.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Last 10 Books Tag - 3. The Last Book I Bought?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I got this book because one of my professors recommended it, and it sounds so up my alley. And, more excitingly, I picked this up because it was the first time I had been in a bookstore in a very long time. Shoutout to Book Passage for being so safe and welcoming!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Last 10 Books Tag - The Last Book You Didn’t Finish?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I tried to read this for the Polarthon, but I just couldn't get into the book. I did end up finishing the graphic novel version of this book, but even the graphic novel didn’t wow me. I just think this book was not made for me.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Last 10 Books Tag - 4. The Last Book You Said You Read but Didn’t?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I did this a lot as a kid. I don’t do it now, so I cannot remember the last time I did this. But, as a kid, I would lie about reading books because I couldn’t read them. I am hugely dyslexic, but I had no idea as a first-grader, so I thought I was just incapable of reading bigger books. But now, I don’t do that. And I stopped doing that around third grade. But sometimes we have to tell a little white lie about books we’ve read.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Last 10 Books Tag - 5. The Last Book You Wrote in the Margins Of?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I like writing in the margins of mystery, thriller, and horror novels. I don’t know why; I think I like writing my prediction about what’s happening and who’s guilty. However, in this book, I wish I didn’t because I did not enjoy this book, but I feel like I can’t give it away (especially since I swore in the margins).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Last 10 Books Tag - 7. The Last Book You Lost?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I cannot think of a time I’ve lost a book. I feel oddly proud of this fact.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Last 10 Books Tag - 9. The Last Book You Had an Argument Over?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I wouldn’t say this was a full-blown argument, but my friend and I were arguing over this series. She loves it, and I DNF’d it because I think it’s super basic (no offense). But we didn’t get vicious or anything; we eventually got tired of texting and agreed to disagree.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have heard really amazing things about this book, and I know it’s so beloved on booktube and Instagram, but I just have no interest in it.. The plot doesn't appeal to me, the characters don’t sound super interesting, and overall I just can’t seem to want to pick it up.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Other Brontë sister stories sound interesting, but Jane Eyre just doesn't;t sound like something for me. Maybe one day, but it’s surely not a priority.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I read The Scarlet Letter in high school and really disliked it. I tried to read another book of his (to be honest I cannot even remember what it was) and almost immediately DNF’d it. He just uses too much description and not enough plot details.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This question was hard for me to answer because I really like trying different genres. I would say romance for my answer, but that’s a very loose answer. There are a lot of romance books I love or want to read.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I bought this book becasue the cover looked really cool, but then I read the description and realized I had no real interest in it. Maybe one day I’ll finally get around to it, but I bought it like, 4 years ago so I’m not holding my breath.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Similarly to the previous question, I started this series and have no interest in continuing. I did not enjoy the first book and I don’t care what happens in the second.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have no interest in Twilight, I have no interest in her other books, and I have no interest in her. I really dislike the way she treated Native characters in Twilight, and how abusive the Edward Bella relationship is, and overall I don’t need her books in my life. The movies was a child was enough.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Me - Hi there!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hi there! My name is Remi Feldman, and a major book nerd! In May of 2024, I received a Bachelor’s degree in English, with a minor in Political Science from Loyola Marymount University in sunny Los Angeles, California. During my time at LMU, I was the co-creator of Women in Politics, a club dedicated to getting people involved in politics. I also founded my school’s official book club called LMU’s Book Nook. Besides reading, I enjoy going to the movies, playing video games on my Switch, playing with my dog, Billie, watching hockey, discussing politics, and going on new adventures. I’m an active member in the bookstagram and BookTok community. I currently reside in Los Angeles, California. I created this site to connect with other readers and go more in-depth with my own reading. I love talking about books, book stats, book releases, making bookish lists: literally anything books. I am so excited to have this space and explore!</image:caption>
