Boyfriend Material by Alexis  Hall
Rate this book
Clear rating
TLDR: 4/5 stars, unnecessary trope of fake-dating, but sweet romance.

I don’t often read gay romance—or any romance for that matter—even though I’ve written one myself. But I’ve seen the cover of this one around so much that I figured I’d give it a go

The Woman in Me by Britney Spears
Rate this book
Clear rating
TLDR: 5/5 stars, gut wrenchingly tragic and very well written.

Growing up, I’ve watched some youtube conspiracy theory videos about Britney and her conservatorship, so I was aware at least of the things that fans thought happened to her. Hearing this

If Cats Disappeared from the World by Genki Kawamura

Clear rating
TLDR: 4.7/5 stars; may not be the highest achievement of literature, but made me feel things all the same.

Your own mortality is something you don't often want to think about for too long. I know it's been a source of great anxiety for me, ever since

TLDR: 5/5 stars. Very nice mood-reading fantasy/sci-fi novel about magic books.

Oh, the book of doors. I'm nothing if not a sucker of magical books. There's a kid in every adult, and whenever magical books are mentioned, mine awakes. This book was a b

Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton
"Dolly Alderton's memoir is such a wild ride in the best possible way! She provides equal parts unabashed antics and deep, moving reflections on her life, love, and relationships. In a classic British wit (#BritWit?), Alderton dives into some serious " Read more of this review »

Animal Farm by George Orwell
Rate this book
Clear rating
TLDR: 4.2/5 stars; good in theory and concept, though predictable and uncomfortable in reality.

1984 has long been one of my favorite novels, so I was hopeful for animal farm to give me a similar feeling. Orwell is known for his thought provoking work

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

TLDR: 4.3/5 stars, different approach to the "normal" plot progression that worked well.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera is one that caught my attention with its cover. The very simple design of the line art dog on the big, white sp
