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.

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.

I love being in the Shadowhunter world, but I donāt really care about any of the characters in this series.

This was very forgettable, even upon reread.
Dear Martin by Nic Stone: 4.5 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.

I liked this a lot, but it definitely isnāt 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.

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.
Molokaāi by Alan Brennert: 4 stars
This is only a four stars if everything in this book is historically accurate, which I canāt seem to find any evidence that points either way.

Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson: 4 stars

Read this if youāre interested in an unhinged gay woman.
