Holy crap. Undead supernatural creatures now? Maybe I shouldn't be reading this at night. I might have some nightmares now lol.

Things are really starting to move now! This might be my favorite dystopian novel and I'm not even done with it. The premise is kind of similar to Fahrenheit 451, but it has kept my attention way better than Fahrenheit did. But then again, I did read Fahrenheit 451 the summer before 9th grade so...almost 12 years ago lol. I might have to go back and read it again to compare it with The Book Censor's Library.

The Censor is struggling with interpretation and thinking for himself in a governmental society that only puts out media that they want you to see and that only aligns with their ideologies that stem from "logic." There is no interpretation in this world. Even religion has been reduced to feeling happy or sad, with sad being equal to Satan and happy to God. I'm now on part two. Wish me luck! Lol

I just got this one today, and while I should be reading the books that have been waiting for me in my home library, I started this one and haven't been able to put it down! It's super interesting so far and a little scary since some of the dystopian themes are close to what is going on in the world today, but if you're interested in dystopian novels and satire against censorship, I highly reccomend.

So I pre-ordered this about two or so months ago and it came in the mail AND it came 3 days before it's release date!!! I'm so excited and you probably won't hear from me for the next two days. 🫰🏻😉

Makes this dark spooky book just a little bit brighter lol

I'm excited about this one since it's by one of my favorite authors :)

It's super cute so far! Lou and her best friend Mei are a hilarious pair, and Henry seems like a quiet, cute, and sad guy. I can't wait to continue reading!

It got a little slow there for a second, but now things are really ramping up! I was recommended this book by an employee at Barnes and Noble and was told that if you were in a reading slump after reading ACOTAR then The Five Crowns of Okrith chronicles would be a really great next read. Though I am not reading it because of a reading slump, I love a good fantasy (with a splash or romantasy) recommendation.

I haven't read a slow burn in a while, and I have really been missing out! It took over 200 pages for Lenny to admit to herself that she was in love with Miles, and she is still reeling from that realization. I love Lenny and Miles though. They balance each other so well.

It's cute, sad, and funny so far. The main character, Lenny, has all of these one-liners that really put a smile on my face. She's hella quirky, which is a quality I love in my protagonists. It's not a total light read so far since this book digs into dealing with grief and loss, but I have a feeling that the ending will bring amazing closure.

This one moves a lot faster than the other two and has constant revelations. It's amazing!

Sarah, if you're reading this, I think I've reached the two very big events that you were talking about. I'm not okay.
