pickThis was a fascinating look into the lives of fictional child stars!
The story follows three child stars as they navigate fame and all that comes with it. The book is broken up into 3 parts, with each part taking place during a different decade (2006-2008, 2018, and 2028), so we got to see the characters age and grow.

pickI was debating whether or not to give this 3.5 or 4 stars. I finally decided on 4 because the story was so clever!
This was my third Jane Austen novel. Previously, I had read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility and enjoyed both of them.
My immediate impression of this book was that it was hilarious.

pickThis was a different read for me. It involves a lot of Norse and Celtic mythology. It truly is an epic tale. It was so full of action. And I truly enjoyed the ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickWhat a beautiful collection of poems!
Going into this, I was only vaguely familiar with Rumi and his poetry. I was always curious about his work and I‘m happy I finally read it.
I love that the translator gave a ton of context to the poems. The book opens with notes on the transliteration, Rumi‘s life, and on the poems.

pickThis was such a cute and sweet manga!
The story is very interesting to say the least. Essentially, the main character, Nasa, gets saved by a mysterious girl named Tsukasa. He immediately asks her out and she says yes on the condition that he marries her. This volume primarily explores the very early days of their marriage.

pickThis was such a fun and sweet romantic comedy!
This is my first book by the author, Amy Lea, so going in I didn‘t have any expectations. After reading this, I can tell why so many people love her books. Her writing style is so engaging that it made the book go by so quickly!
I loved the premise and it was executed so well.

pickThis was such a fun romance set in NYC!
This was my first book by Alex Aster, so going into it I had no set expectations. I was pleasantly impressed!
Immediately, I was drawn in by the author‘s writing style. It was easy, effortless, and genuinely funny.
As for the two main characters, Elle and Parker, I liked Parker way more than I liked Elle.
