book log 2024!
here's the 2024 book log! if you don't know how this works, here's the drill: once you finish a book, post the title and author here (if you want, you can also include your thoughts on the book, its genres, how many stars out of five you'd rate it, whatever). at the end of the year, you can see how many books you've read, plus you get a ton of recommendations from other people's lists!
happy new year, everyone!

Finished - Tune It Out
(June 2, 2024 - 11:43 pm)
Started yesterday & finished today - Love and Gelato (sorry to all the fans out here, it was very eh. Even the writing pretty much annoyed me. And everything just seemed so OBVIOUS from the start and honestly don't really like Lina and Ren's only okay because my squish is sorta like him (like Lina's first description of him was exactly just describing my squish). Anddd this is why I don't really read romance. But thanks for the rec. And I want gelato.)

started on the 12 & finished on the 13 - The Beyond by Jason Shiga
