pickWhile I enjoyed this book and feel like it would be an amazing anime, I think it just didn‘t go deep enough. I should‘ve been terrified by the Shiikuin, but I just wasn‘t. I should‘ve been awed by the Night Market, but it was just meh. So while it was a fantastical and beautiful story, it didn‘t garner the emotional reaction it should‘ve.
This is a hard rating. It‘s in between a pick and a so-so, so I‘m rounding up.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI listened to this book on flights to and from Alaska, and it was the perfect complement to my trip.

pickThis book felt like an adult retelling of Alice in Wonderland if it were made by Guillermo del Toro and Studio Ghibli. It's so magical and fun with a sprinkle of star-crossed romance and mystery. 10/10 ✨️
Next up from my Summer Reads pile is Water Moon! I also made a wheel to help me choose 🤪

bailedMay has not been a good reading month for me. I have admittedly had a lot going on which may be part of it, but this is another DNF for me. The story just didn‘t grab me really at all…
“But he‘d loved only Eby. You didn't need a mirror to tell you that you were beautiful when you had proof like that.”

pickKindle deal enabled me to finally read this much-anticipated book. I'm sad that I didn't love it as much as I thought I would. I could never connect to Lewis and felt that we kept being told he was so wonderful but not shown. The odds of one person being affected by this mutation thing so closely seemed unlikely to me. The different narratives were also a bit disjointed to me. Still, the writing was well done and I'm not sorry I read it.
