An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir: 5 stars
A phenomenal book that’s just as good the second time around.
A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir: 5 stars
This strong sequel didn’t fall flat.
American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang: 2 stars
I felt like I was supposed to get this being Asian American, but I was so confused.

I liked it when I read it, but I remember nothing that happened a year later.
Pillow Thoughts by Courtney Peppernell: 5 stars
I’m giving this book five stars because I liked it when I read it.
Loveboat, Tapei by Abigail Hing Wen: 4 stars
A solid romance that felt like every other romance but that took place in Taiwan and with Asian characters.
The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace: 3.5 stars
This one felt pick me, but we can all use a little pick me sometimes.
Reaper at the Gates by Sabaa Tahir: 4 stars
I felt like this was just setting up the fourth book, especially upon this reread, but it was still super enjoyable.
Anthem by Ayn Rand: 2.5 stars
This was pretty decent for a book that was mandatory reading in school.
Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan: 5 stars
An all time favorite that holds up upon reread.
Girls of Storm and Shadow by Natasha Ngan: 4 stars
This suffered from a mild case of middle book syndrome.
Girls of Fate and Fury by Natasha Ngan: 5 stars
I think the only reason I liked this so much was because I wanted to know how it ended. \
The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell and the Freedom Writers: 4.5 stars
As good as this was, the movie/documentary on YouTube was even better.
Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie: 4 stars
Agatha Christie did her thing again.
All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir: 5 stars
I was nervous to read a contemporary by Sabaa Tahir, but not only was this fantastic, but I think about it still to this day.
Billie Eilish by Billie Eilish: 5 stars
How could I not give a photo album of Billie Eilish by Billie Eilish five stars??
I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys: 3.5 stars
I love Ruta Sepetys, but this was easily her worst book (respectfully).
Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson: 5 stars
I feel like objectively this is probably a bad book, but it kept me hooked all the way till the end.
Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman: 5 stars
I feel like this is the best (and possibly only) good book of poetry I’ve read ever.
Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur: 1 star
Rupi Kaur should not be as popular as she is.
Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller: 4 stars
This was entertaining, but I think I would have liked it more if I was in 6th or 7th grade.
Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare: 3.5 stars
I love being in the Shadowhunter world, but I don’t really care about any of the characters in this series.
Goodbye, Again by Jonny Sun: 4.5 stars
A good book of someone’s stream of consciousness that lost a half star because the first section of the book was utterly boring.
Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim: 3 stars
This book had everything going for it and should have been interesting, but it was so mediocre.
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom: 4.5 stars
This is easily the best and most impactful book that I’ve had to read for school.
2Fish by Jhene Aiko: 1 star
How is this so bad when Jhene Aiko’s music is actually decent?
Home Body by Rupi Kaur: 1 star
Why did I even bother with this one….
On Writing by Stephen King: 2.5 stars
It was interesting, but at the time I hadn’t read any Stephen King, so I didn’t really care.

This thriller made me lose my mind for the 24 hours I was reading it for.

I had absolutely no idea what to make of this one.
1984 by George Orwell: 5 stars
A new favorite classic that I wish I had read sooner.
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid: 4 stars
I loved this the first time around, but I don’t think it’s the kind of book that you can reread too often.
The Woman In Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware: 4.5 stars
I thought this was really well done, and I could see the heavy Death on the Nile influence throughout.
Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender: 5 stars
Rereading this felt like coming home after a long time away.
Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco: 3 stars
This was very forgettable, even upon reread.
Dear Martin by Nic Stone: 4.5 stars
SJ just makes this book complete.
As Good as Dead by Holly Jackson: 3 stars
I bumped this down to a solid three stars because this was just so wild and unhinged and was lowkey teaching you how to get away with a murder.
It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover: 4 stars
I liked this a lot, but it definitely isn’t a romance like most people advertise it as.
Darius The Great is Not Okay by Adib Khoram: 5 stars
This book singlehandedly takes down toxic masculinity.
We Are Not Free by Traci Chee: 5 stars
This was so well done, and it was even more impactful when I got to go to the site where some of the events in this book took place about a month later.
Moloka’i by Alan Brennert: 4 stars
This is only a four stars if everything in this book is historically accurate, which I can’t seem to find any evidence that points either way.
Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston: 5 stars
Super impactful and made me angry when I think about the fact that this was a true story.
Allegedly by Tiffany D. Jackson: 5 stars
I’m pretty sure this is Tiffany D. Jackson’s debut, and that makes this even better.

I read this in a couple minutes at the bookstore, and it was cute.
Loveless by Alice Oseman: 4 stars
I love seeing aro/ace representation done right in YA fiction.
In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado: 5 stars

This wasn’t as good as the first one, but I love it anyways.
Heartstopper Volume 3 by Alice Oseman: 5 stars
The Paris vibes are immaculate, and I hope the representation continues.
Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman: 5 stars
The mental illness representation done right made me sob in math class, and I am living for it.
Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake: 5 stars
This was my all time favorite book for the longest time because of how it deals with trauma, and it definitely still holds up.
Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson: 4 stars
Hard to read because of how real it was (check the trigger warnings), but very necessary.
My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell: 4.5 stars
This was heart wrenching, and I wanted nothing but healing for Vanessa.
Radiosilence by Alice Oseman: 4.5 stars
Another reread of another Alice Oseman favorite.

Team Jeremiah is the only right answer.

I think I understand this book better now that I’m older.

This book was boring, and I didn’t care about anything that happened.

This is going to be a classic someday.
The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown: 3.5 stars
This was very digestible and made me want to read more self help books.
Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri: 3.5 stars
I don’t think I really understood the point these short stories were trying to make, but some of them were worth reading anyway.
Three Things I Know Are True by Betty Culey: 3 stars
This would have been so much better if it hadn’t been written in verse.
Graceling by Kristen Cashore: 4 stars
This took me back to my middle school reading days in the best way.

This is probably one of the most important books I’ve ever read.
Maus Volume 1 by Art Spiegelman: 4 stars
I liked the art style in this, and the story telling is perfect.
Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell: 4 stars
My favorite part of this was that the science and forensics was described in gory detail.
Malice by Heather Walter: 4 stars
Read this if you’re interested in an unhinged gay woman.
The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday: 3.5 stars
This is worth your time, but not your money.
Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover: 4.5 stars
This is a good book if you can suspend your disbelief at some of the dumb backstories and plot issues.
Maus Volume 2 by Art Spiegelman: 3.5 stars
I can see why this was written, but it just felt a little more chaotic and rushed than the first volume.
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao: 4.5 stars
The main character + the polyamory in YA made this worth it.

My first Stephen King, and I need to read more.

This gave me insight into my own brain.

This is good if you’re into erotica with a side of plot.
Helium by Rudy Francisco: 3 stars
More mediocre poetry.
It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover: 5 stars
Everyone is saying this book is slow, but I think it captures the inside of someone’s mind after abuse to a tee.
Night Sky with Exit Wounds: 4 stars
The writing in here was just breathtakingly beautiful.
Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid: 5 stars
I didn’t know that it was possible to care about a fictional tennis player so much.
I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy: 5 stars
This was so brutally honest while managing to be funny and is 1000% worth your time.
Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One by Raphaelle Giordano: 4 stars
Who knew that self help in the form of a fictional story is something that works?

I fell in love with these characters and their stories like I haven’t in so long.

This made me think, but I was a little confused sometimes.

This was weird erotica and pedophilia all in a pretty package.

This shouldn’t have worked, but it did.

A solid romance, but very forgettable to be completely honest.

A little too much sex for me, but I loved the energy.

I will be reading every single Emily Henry book I can get my hands on in the near future.
