This is the only ongoing manga series that I'm reading and I love it. The story is easy to follow while also referencing different types of history. All the characters are super cool design wise and story wise. Can't wait to continue.

I LOVED THIS BOOK! It was quick and even though the topics were hard, it wasn't overwhelming. I usually stay away from books with heavy triggers like this, but it luckily wasn't graphic. For the most part, the book was very heartwarming and just great with the message it was sending.

I finally started one of the Thrawn series!!!! I really liked this, and I'm excited to continue. I really liked Eli in particular, and his relationship with Thrawn (I wish they were gay).

ap lit strikes back :(( I thought my least favorite part of that class was the poems, but the short stories are worse. i liked the ending of this story, but the beginning and middle were boring!

short thing I had to read in my ap lit class. I did have to google the meaning of it, but I actually thought the meaning was pretty cool. It was just so short that I couldn't get into it enough.

I've had this book on my shelf for so long and I finally read it! I was debating whether to give it a 4.5 or a 5 star, but I did really love Andy and Charlie, so 5 it is :))

my first star wars novelization! I enjoyed this, but Episode 1 isn't one of my favorite movies, so this isn't a favorite book. I'm still happy I read it tho.

I had to read this for my AP Lit class, but I have been wanting to read it for a while. I thought it was going to be more nihilistic and visceral, but it really wasn't. I wanted more body horror, but it was still an interesting little story.

This book was very whatever. I liked the last section of the book because that's what really matters, but I didn't care about the beginning one bit. I'm glad I completely finished the Hunger Games though!!!

Had to read for ap lit :(((
It wasn't terrible, but I just don't care about books or plays set in this time period. It was better than Death of a Salesman though.
