Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert
3.5
I think at this point, I will read anything Talia Hibbert writes ✨
At the same time, this wasn't one of my favourites, probably because the protagonists were teenagers, but nonetheless it was so sweet and wholesome that I thoroughly enjoyed it!

A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
2.0
Even though I loved the first one, this one fell so flat for me. Lila Bard has to be one of the worst / most insufferable characters I've read in the longest time...
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
3.0
I'm not sure what I expected going into this and somehow I don't think I got what I wanted from it (???)
First chapter had me in a chokehold, it was much more graphic than i expected and it made me flinch, which was LOVELY
After that, especially when we got to the "5 running in the bushes" incident, instead of the book going UP, it went DOWN. I wasn't expecting a car chase type of thriller, but at the same time, this felt like a huge slice of life book and I wasn't really interested in reading something like that

I just couldn't, it wasn't flowing AT ALL
Acts of Service by Lillian Fishman
2.5
This is a difficult one. It certainly made me uncomfortable a lot of the time, but at the same I don't really feel like I've gained anything from it? I don't know, some parts I liked, some parts I hated, mixed emotions.
What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher
4.5
If "Mexican Gothic" has taught me anything, is that as soon as a fungus enters the chat you need to bolt.
All jokes aside, this was marvelous. I loved the writing style, all the characters and what especially intrigued me was the conversation about pronouns/gender, which was subtle, yet poignant.

Supper Club by Jackie Morrow

I was really excited about this but then it felt kinda flat for me. Was a bit rushed and didn't give me enough time to form a connection with any of the characters. Did make me hungry though 😉
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
3.0
This was short, sweet and creepy, exactly what I was hoping it was gonna be. I loved the atmosphere and the horror/cottagecore vibes and even though at times I was a bit confused as to what was actually happening or why THE MAIN EVENT happened, I still very much enjoyed this.
**to be fair, I listened to this as an audiobook, which is something I'm not used to and my mind tends to wander as well, so I don't entirely blame the writing for anything I missed.
