I have read I could chew on this by Francesco Marciuliano. I read the ebook. Read this for my Authors TBR. Also read it for the Orilium Year in Aeldia challenge with the prompt: envelope or typewriter on the cover. This is a book of poetry.

This was really fun! Did not love it as much as the one with the cats, which I might reread soon, but a very fun read nonetheless.

Review:

I love this book with my whole heart

---------------------------------------------
Review previously placed on my blog:

I'm currently reading Aristotle and Dante dive into the waters of the world by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. This is the second book in the Aristotle and Dante duology. I'm reading an owned copy whilst listening to the audiobook. This is my second time reading this book. This is a young adult contemporary romance book with LGBTQ+ characters.

I have only read this once, so very excited to read this again. So far it's the absolute best. It is very long, so excited to see where the story goes, because I can't really remember much.

Loved it of course! Couple of things were repeated a bit too often, but I don't super mind that. To be honest I could read way more books in the series. Just following Ari and Dante for the rest of their lives would be the absolute best.

I have read What feasts at night by T. Kingfisher. This is the second book in the Sworn soldier duology (series?). I read the ebook. Read this for the T. Kingfisher readalong. This is an adult horror book with LGBTQ+ characters.

This was great! I really like the characters in this series, so was happy that there is a sequel. The story itself was nice and creepy, really enjoyed it. Perfect length for the plot. Really hope there will be more books in the series.

Review:

Love this book sooo much

---------------------------------------------
Review previously placed on my blog:

I'm currently reading Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe. This is the first book in that series. I'm reading an owned copy whilst listening to the audiobook. This is my third time reading the book. Reading this, because I cancelled my subscription for an audiobook app, but did want to listen to this one still. This is a young adult contemporary book with LGBTQ+ characters.

I love this book so much. It's definitely in my top 5 of all time favorites. I really connect with the main character Ari. I understand and feel his loneliness. I also absolutely love the contrast between him and Dante, just the best.

Just loved this so much! I am very glad there is a sequel, because the romance part in the book is like two pages. So I do think this book could have been longer, but a sequel is also great.
