The Incandescent by Emily Tesh, 3/5
the pacing of this book felt really weird? like the stakes of the first 100 pages felt heightened beyond what they needed to be. and then the ending was predictable though there was a fun twist in there

The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley, 3.5/5
Literally the same plot as the guest list with different dressing. i’m not mad about it but I was able to guess a lot of it now I know her writing. Still had a good time tho!

You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian, 3/5
this was fine I guess? sure did feel like they were having the same argument over and over for 200 pages and then just gave in without much resolution.

The Listeners by Maggie Stiefvater, 4/5
I was skeptical of this concept and bc of trc sequel trilogy but actually this book was really lovely, Maggie is back with the subtle magic that made me enjoy her writing so much in the first place.

The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny, 4/5
I think this has been my favorite Gamache so far, loved the premise, enjoyed the twist with the corruption case. the actual murder felt a little predictable tho

Pole Position by Rebecca J. Caffery, 1.5/5
The characters were annoying, the romance was poorly paced, the F1 was wildly inaccurate. If you like romance novels do not read this. If you like F1 definitely do not read this.

really lovely lyrical prose, reminds me a lot of my beloved Invisible Cities. The romance plot both did and did not work for me though

Swordcrossed by Freya Marske, 3/5
Started this back in December and just now got around to finishing it. Took me over half the book to really get into it but the last hundred pages were pretty fun

So funny I laughed out loud through a lot of it. All the characters are well-crafted and charming and I love what it says about the people we choose to be
