Review: Milk and Honey
Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
I’m a slxt for poetry.
Two of my favorite fictional characters make poetry their whole personality [Genesis from FF7:Crisis Core and V from DMC5]
However, I sat down to listen to Milk & Honey, which was RAVED about when it came out….
I feel like I’m listening to early day Tumblr posts and not poetry. š
Review: Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry
As many reviewers have said, this book gets repetitive, rambly, and hard to follow at times.
I listened via audiobook and I found it a bit easier to treat it more as a “stream of consciousness” rather than a memoir.
Matthew Perry deserves his voice to be heard. Listen to his story. And then go out and do some good in his memory.
Review: Radio Silence
Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK.
First off, it is cute and fluffy, but also gets dark and deep. It pays homage to one of my favorite podcasts, Welcome to Night Vale andā¦.guysā¦..THEREāS A CANON ASEXUAL CHARACTER and not only that, this character has struggles with their mother being abusive as fuck, just like i do.
Furthermore, the word āagenderā, MY GENDER IDENTITY is smack dab right there in a printed book.
Thereās a platonic relationship and it is the most amazing thing EVER, proving that people can VERY MUCH BE ājust friendsā without wanting any romantic implications on their relationship.
I could honestly gush about this book for hours. it’s a 2017 favorite for sure!
Review: Hunted
Hunted by Meagan Spooner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was one of those books where i had to force myself to put it down after reading my allotted 50 pages a day, otherwise i would have sat and read the whole thing. It was THAT good.
I might be a little biased though because Beauty and the Beast is my second favorite Disney movie. [my first being The Aristocats, if youāre curious.]
Itās not your normal retelling though, it gets dark and gritty at times because Beauty [Yeva, to be exact.] in this story is your hunter. Thereās not a angry pitchfork mob. Yes, Beauty is the one hunting The Beast and i found that FLIPPING BAD. ASS. I was seriously convinced that she was going to kill him toward the end!
