I'm torn about this one. Super readable and fast-paced, with lots of innocuous details to keep you guessing. Plus, cool Scandinavian location. BUT. The heroine has anxiety, and the descriptions of panic attacks totally triggered me. Plus, I don't love the whole anxiety = hysteria thing. And he plot holes... there were lots. It was still fun, though, and I read it late into the night because it was so addictive.

This is legit one of the prettiest covers I've ever seen. Hoping the story is just as gorgeous!

Zoinks! I am so, so glad I gave this one a second try. I fizzled at my first attempt (it happens, y'know?), but tore through it the second time. So amazing. Fantastic world-building, and really interesting ideas about what happens AFTER the end. I now have a girl-crush on the author.

Whoa. No words. I usually have a hard time losing myself in nonfiction, but not this time. The writing is so, so beautiful and I can't help but feel that it was IMPORTANT for me to read. I'm so thankful for this book.

Hello, rad little book. This is a sweet, quiet book on a day in the life of librarian Isabel, who collects old postcards, shops for vintage dresses, and secretly loves her coworker. Manages to touch on war, travel, longing, and the peculiar joy of loneliness. Perfect for weekend reading.

Ok, this was SO good. I bought it on a whim based on a someone's Litsy haul (who was it?!) and I read it without reading the synopsis, which I never do. Wow. Fantasy based on Chinese mythology, really complex characters, and action-packed. The depiction of female friendship was so realistic, too.

Archie comics were a huge part of my childhood, and were one reason I became such an ardent reader. I LOVE the new art style - it's truly gorgeous. I just really, really wish they'd axed the Betty-Veronica-Archie love triangle. Even as a kid, I didn't get why B & V put up with it.

Finished this puppy pretty quick. It was light and enjoyable, with TONS of historical detail. It's meant to be a view of the servants' lives during the events of Pride and Prejudice, and it had that "below stairs" vibe. Some parts dragged, but others were fascinating, so I'm giving it a win.

LOVE. This is my second time reading this, and all I can do now is wait for Susanna Clarke to write another book. Wheeeeen, Susanna? I want to read Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho, and I heard it was somewhat similar to Jonathan Strange. SIGN ME UP.

I know my tepid reaction to this collection is my own fault - I just wasn't in the mood. I can objectively see that Strayed's writing is beautiful, and I loved the obvious time and energy she put into answering each person's question, but it didn't really touch me.

Yay, found another historical British mystery series! This first in the series was quick and clever, and I found the two main characters surprisingly complex. Definitely going to be reading the next in the series.

At first, I was loving this weird, noir-ish thriller set in Japan, but it just kept getting darker and darker...I think I'm just too faint of heart for something this disturbing. The writing was fantastic - it kinda has to be to make you feel that icky. I just had to tap out.

Wtf did I just read? I think I liked it? It was like a labyrinth, and I think I got lost in it, but it was sure fun.
