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!

so far this month:
the entire inheritance games series--9/10, amazingggg love love love. i suppose i read the first one in march but whatever.
101 essays that will change the way you think--6/10, not a bad book overall, just written in a difficult way that made it hard to understand the content. also likely intended for young adults.
julieta and the romeos (reread)--8/10, light read, chill, just not spectacular.
every soul a star (reread)--8/10, again, not spectacular, but well-written. i loved this book when i was ten so it's been a while since i read it.
lovely war--10/10, ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. literally the writing is beautiful and so is the story. definitely recommend.
little white lies--9/10, really good. same author as the inheritance games. there's a sequel which im in the middle of.
the hunger games--10/10, my favorite series probably ever. i reread all of them twice this month.
the summer of impossibilites--?/10, haven't finished, good so far though.
there's so many other books i can't remember ugh but this is a good chunk of it.

THE SUMMER OF IMPOSSIBILITIESSSSS- like the one romance book I really super love XD. YESSSS!!!
Every Soul a Star is pretty good too, especially with the recent eclipse and all (I was going to reread it for that but didn't have time...). :)

I just finished reading Brother's Keeper by Julie Lee. It's so good...like it actually made me cry.

I just finished reading Arcadia by Lauren Groff, I expected it to be interesting but it was admittedly pretty boring. Hopefully my next book will be better!
(July 25, 2024 - 9:34 pm)
Oh yeah, and I'm also currently reading a few other books - Ghostland by Colin Dickey (a nonfiction book telling America's histories through its ghost stories, 11/10 one of my favorite things I've read so far this year), Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm by Philip Pullman, and Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman (also one of my favorite books this year, Whitman is a poetic genius)!

I finished two books recently:
Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow, by Jessica Townsend
Love and Luck, by Jenna Evans Welch
I liked Love and Luck just as much as the first in the series, but in a different way. Love and Gelato is full-on romance, while Love and Luck is kind of a family drama with romance mixed in.

I read The Last Mapmaker by Christina Soontornvat earlier this year, and it was really good! It has a South-eastern Asian ambience and is just generally cool. I liked it a lot.
