My Only 5-star Read
Such a delightful read. My daughter asked for this. So when I saw it on Book Outlet, I picked it up for her. But I read it first. 🙂 And I’m so glad I did. This is a hopeful little tale, written from the perspective of the wish tree.
Four-Star Reads
The Complete Persepolis: I especially enjoyed the first half of Persepolis. The protagonist learns a great deal from reading, examples from society, and from the authority figures in her life. The second part becomes more personal and less historically minded. Overall, I appreciated the opportunity to learn about Iranian culture and living in war-torn Iran.
Mistborn – The Final Empire: I’m not sure what to say yet. But this books feels solid and grounded, which I liked a lot.
3.5-Star Reads
Alex, Approximately: A sweet YA romance.
Gunslinger Girl: A fun western dystopia. I enjoyed the characters, the plot, and the ending. A fun read.
Children of Blood and Bone: An enjoyable fantasy that reads like an adventure. I particularly liked Inan’s character.
Illuminae: Science fiction is not a favorite genre, and this book reminded me why. But overall I was entertained, and I definitely enjoyed the variation in format.
