🐦‍⬛The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson

✅read for:
- an action-driven fantasy that raises the stakes constantly and sucks you in
- tournaments and conspiracies

❓caveats:
- the world is interesting but a bit shallow, hopefully the sequels deepen it
- some predictable plot twists

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

i think there’s a huge difference between reading books, and reading books with intention. i would rather appreciate all my books slowly and fully, light and more complex reads alike, than fall into the trap of viewing reading as another productivity goal to fulfill.

Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins

- propaganda & the importance of media literacy
- perpetuating propaganda by not recognizing it
- social change as a landslide made of small pebbles of individual contributions over time
