I need to stop giving Christmas themed books a chance.

She's just like me 

naruto meets the hunger games meets the poppy war meets -

Just kidding. Pretty fun book. I know this is YA but it could easily be an adult book. I think it falls apart just a little in the middle, but the overall premise is very entertaining. An easy book, with difficult themes to get through.

Out There Screaming

Jordan Peele, John Joseph Adams

DID NOT FINISH

how disappointing... i'm sure there's at least one good story within this collection, but from what i've read none of these authors can actually write. at least not horror. these stories are boring, lack depth, and aren't satisfactory in the "horror" genre. too many "what is the point of me reading this?". unfortunate.

i hate this book so much lol

i was hit with 15 slurs before the actual plot of the book happened and i can't even tell you what's really going on despite that

In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom

Yeonmi Park, Maryanne Vollers

i didn't realize who the author was until i looked into this a little more. i remember some serious controversy with her on twitter not too long ago. also looking into this i'm seeing that a lot of accounts here are fabricated or simply a lie? so. not great i guess. i would like to look more into this and come back to it as i think a book like this is important and worth the read
