Hana Khan Carries On by Uzma Jalaluddin
4.0
I am so happy this was my first book of the year. Hana has a special place in my heart. This story was good, and funny, and serious when It had to be. I love how Uzma write about the importance of community, and how if you follow your passion eventually you will find your vocation.
The romance and the family mystery had me at the edge for most of the book, it felt like a telenovela at some point, and I love every single minute of it
Also, I've never had poutine, or biryani poutine, but I’ll try it

Cinder by Marissa Meyer
4.0
✨Where do I begin with this book?✨
I wanted to read Cinder since it first came out, and finally did it.
The idea of a post apocalyptic society mixed with science fiction elements and fairytales had me since the moment a friend mention the existence of this book to me.
I personally think that there are so many retellings of Cinderella, and normally I am not a big fans of those, but Cinder has my heart because it made something different. Call it thinking out of the box if you may.
I enjoyed reading Cinder story and the world building. I get so immerse in the story, that even though I could see the plot twist coming I enjoyed every single second of it.
I'm looking forward to read the next book, I have a vaguely idea of what is waiting for me but I'm prepared to be surprised
