Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
2.0
It was okay, I wouldn't say it was the best. I didn't like the writing that much and I found it to be pretty boring at times. I didn't connect with the characters all that much.
The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud
3.0
it was a good middle-grade book and I do plan on continuing with the series.
The Ominous Omnibus: The Bad Beginning / Reptile Room / Wide Window by Lemony Snicket
3.0
I enjoyed reading it but It's just not the book for me. It's not that it is written badly it's just too young for me and I'm pretty sure I won't be continuing with these books.

Scream For Us is a short Halloween novella that I was seeing everywhere in October so I thought why not and honestly… I'm disappointed.
It wasn't terrible but it just wasn't for me, I didn't vibe with the writing, the characters and romance was just okay, the plot was all over the place, and the murder of many people was pointless and did not need to be there.
Overall, I feel indifferent to this book.

Witchy, Vol. 1 by Ariel Slamet Ries
2.0
There wasn't anything wrong with this book... I'm just not really a graphic novel reader but my sister had given me this book I thought I would give it a try but it just proved that I prefer novels to graphic novels just because I connect to the story and characters better and enjoy it a lot better.
The art was really pretty and I enjoyed that but the writing seemed a little off to me.

Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli
2.0
This is my least favorite book in the Simonverse when I thought it would be my favorite as a bisexual curvy girl. The main reason I hated this book when I read it is because I hated Leah! She was incredibly selfish and only cared about herself.
The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

I really wanted to love this book and I really thought I would seeing that I loved her debut novel everything, everything but up just not liking it as much as I had hoped.
The writing was just as amazing as it was in everything, everything. It was so poetic and beautiful. So I had no problem with that.
I think my biggest problem was It took place in one day, I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if it had taken place in a couple of weeks instead of just one day. I wish we got to see more of their relationship with their families and see them work on their relationship. I just felt like it went too fast and I would have liked to learn more about them and their families and less about the love.
And the whole chapter thing I liked being able to see from both of their point of view but I didn't really enjoy the point of view. I felt like they were unnecessary to the story and a few times I even skipped through parts.
Other than that everything else was pretty good.

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

At this point, I just think John Green's books aren't meant for me.
