Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
This book was intresting but I really can't decide if I liked it or not. These separations really bothered me, but after a while I got used to it. It didn't enchant me, it didn't open my eyes and it wasn't touching at all. Maybe the problem is with me, maybe not, let everyone decide which is true and which is not.

If Anything Happens I Love You by Michael Govier, Will McCormack
I saw this book on Tiktok and listened to an audio book for the first time in my life. This story was both sad and cute, uplifting and devastating.

Another dripping romance that has an unnecessarily tragic ending and makes no sense.

I literally can't remember anything from this book or even the movie, so that says I didn't like it

At least, when it comes, the black night of death will not frighten a creature still blind from being born. That is some comfort, is it not?
Basically, I came across this book on goodreads and I didn't regret reading it (exceptionally). It was intresting to say at least. I mean I fell in love with herbs/poisons because of this book.
Jessamine was a very interesting character, a real independent and wild protagonist, I loved her personality.
Weed was very interesting, not only because he could talk with plants, but because he emerged from nothing and left into nothing.
Oleander is one of my very loves, I fell in love with him immediately and Jessamine is definitely stronger than me, because if he wanted me as queen I would have fallen on the spot.
The plot was okay (but nothing special) easy to follow and enjoyable. I definitely recommend it to those who love the Middle Ages and are interested in the strange world of plants and poisons.

Harry Potter Series Box Set by J.K. Rowling
This series was a defining part of my childhood, not only because it transported me to a world that every child longs for, but because of these books, I started reading.
The characters (most of them) were likeable and well developed.
JK Rowling definitely deserves the fame she got for this book series (I can't say anything else good about her).

Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love
