The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest
4.0
Cute and fun, with a pinch more depth than I'd expect from a romance
Miss Benson's Beetle by Rachel Joyce
4.0
Definitely more intense than I thought it would be based on the descriptions and reviews. A great page-turner and an enjoyable read overall

The Night & Its Moon by Piper C.J.
2.5
I really wanted to like this book, but I couldn't get past the writing. The overuse of epithets ("the blond woman", "the dark man"), overly omniscient narration, repetitive language (using "stare" three times in one paragraph), and honestly the sheer number of typos took me out of the story every time I was starting to get immersed. The world building and politics felt superficial and simplistic, all way too easily explained so that the characters could get into more situations as swiftly as possible. Still, I cared enough about the story and characters that I might try the next book...
The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik
4.25
There was still a lot of exposition, despite this being the last book of the trilogy, and that did affect the pacing for me. Still, it was so cool to see all the threads come together, and I look forward to rereading the whole series based on what was revealed!!!
Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo
4.0
Some of the pacing and priorities didn't quite gel for me, but it was still such a fun read, I love the characters. I would love to read more in this universe if there's more to come!
King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo
4.0
Felt a bit chaotic flipping between the two unconnected storylines, but still a very exciting read once I got into it.
I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston
3.75
I know a lot of the high school tropes were meant to be satirical, but it was still a bit too over the top for my tastes. Still a fun quick read tho!
