The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
4.0
I really enjoyed this book! With that being said, I’m not sure I’d read it again. It’s a sweet love story, but at times it was difficult to follow.
I recommended it to one of my co-workers and it made her cry, and she fell in love with the story.

A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair

I love this story! I’m a sucker for fantasy romance with some mythology mixed in.
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
4.0
Ugh, she did such a great job expressing her experiences with her toxic mother. I do wish we got some more details because I felt like there was more to be said, but I thought it was great for a memoir.
It should be noted I don’t typically read autobiographical books.

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3.0
Pretty slow burner of a book. I enjoyed it overall but did get frustrated thinking it could have been much shorter. 200 pages for something significant to really happen..

Gives Shutter Island vibes.. weird and wonderful. I loved this wacky book. Definitely different than what I usually read.
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
4.0
I like this book, once I put the chapters in order. I had to skip around and read everything chronologically, my brain cannot process flashbacks in books.
Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco

I really enjoyed this book. It got me out of a long reading slump and helped pass the time while on deployment.
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

It was fine.. not bad, not great. The characters seem pretty cool and I enjoyed the magic elements.
