Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

4.25

when your life is a convenience store and all you are is a convenience store worker. hilarious trains of thoughts, an eye for simple details. quick, weird and funny. fast paced read 

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

4.25

funny and sad at the same time. finished it in 2 or 3 days. great writing style

When We Were Birds by Ayanna Lloyd Banwo

2.5

odd creole/slang/jargon writing style, made it hard to read. story was ok but nothing special. I simply didn’t like it, gave off weird vibes in a bad way. 

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

my rating could never be worthy enough. this book is what life is about.

Galatea PB by John Lyly

funny fast-paced

4.5

Homoerotic renaissance fantasy of the 16th century. Amazing prose; loved the story! Subplot of the brothers wasn’t satisfying but weird. If you like Shakespeare, this one feels even better. 

Beowulf: A New Translation by Anonymous

adventurous fast-paced

3.5

Man of men - Beowulf the powerful fighter who saved his kin on tour! Helping where and whom he could - though rightfully so - self-assured. Fast paced fantasy classic. Alright to read, somewhat entertaining, not my fave style to be honest. I guess this would still be the most enjoyable translation. Totally readable. 

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

2.75

pedophile who adores a little girl and would kill for her. adoration nicely displayed but boring from time to time. not my style at all, a classic which imo doesn’t have to be read at all.

3.5

This is how Nesta Archeron became a weapon + her development. 
Irritating to me: 

Why was there no mating bond??? (in a sense of communicating via bond + feeling each others emotions like the one Feyre and Rhysand have) Odd. I get the "suprise"-moment but it's still off.

very slow-paced, too much about the characters, not enough about the plot itself. stiff! If there's another book, I hope there's more plot. 

A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas

3.0

off-topic solstice celebration, dull addition to plot which you don’t have to read imo. feyre being a pick me.
