Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
2.0
Honestly, I’ve never been a big Alice in Wonderland fan. I don’t think the story is that intriguing and after reading it, I stand by that. The movie is much better than the book and I don’t even really like that that much.
Blackout by Nicola Yoon, Dhonielle Clayton, Ashley Woodfolk, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas
5.0
I have actually really been enjoying all the short stories I have read during this challenge. This particular set was really good. It was a bunch of cute romance stories full of second chances and self discovery. I loved the multiple authors include; it helped add to the diversity and range of the stories. I think the stories told had a good mix of all type of people and love stories. It didn’t feel repetitive in the story telling which was really nice.
When All Is Said by Anne Griffin
2.0
I don’t have much to say. I was honestly just not invest and kind of bored. It isnt really a bad book, just not for me.
Survive the Night by Riley Sager
4.0
I don’t really like thrillers but this was actually really good. It had a compelling plot and the main character was very interesting. The plot twist and reveal was unexpected while still being believable. I think it was a very good and interesting read.
Kissing Ted Callahan (and Other Guys) by
3.0
This was okay, I liked it but it was also very frustrating. Kind of crazy that the two main characters just started ignoring their best friends because they had dating experience and the main characters didn’t. I do think that writing in the journal was also crazy. But I still liked the couples and rooted for them to end up together. It was just a crazy plot line.
Drama by Raina Telgemeier
4.0
I’m not going to lie, sometimes the middle grade books are better than adult fiction I read. This was a fun and light hearted read. I would’ve been obsessed with it if I read it in middle school. I think it is a nice book for kids to read about being an outcast (queer, theater kid, etc.) at school and how to learn to love who you are. The art style is really good also which adds to my enjoyment of the book.
An Evening with Garrison Keillor, Maya Angelou, Laurie Colwin and Tom Wolfe: A Gala Evening of Readings to Benefit the Homeless by Laurie Colwin, Garrison Keillor, Tom Wolfe, Maya Angelou
3.0
I think this was for a good cause and I did find it somewhat funny. It probably would’ve been funnier and more relevant if I lived during the time of writing but it was a good read nonetheless.
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry
2.0
No tea, no shade to Matthew Perry, this just was not written very well. I know memoirs are people’s own stories but he just repeated the same thing many times throughout the book. It was also a memoir that was lowkey just god propaganda which I don’t enjoy.
Pizza Girl by Jean Kyoung Frazier
4.0
This is such a good book about not living up to expectations when living with mental illness and feeling stuck in your life. It is such a compelling plot and focuses on struggling with your sexuality when you are stuck in a difficult place in your life. It goes into detail about obsession and how it can affect not only you life but the lives of those around you.
Christmas Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke
3.0
I honestly don’t have many thoughts on this. It’s a quick cozy mystery if that’s what you are into. I think the recipes included was a fun addition, but this isn’t really one of the most compelling mysteries I’ve read this year.
