after my annual tradition of becoming obsessed with tennis during/after the AO, I decided to read some tennis fiction!!!! I'm pretty sure I basically finished this in one day when it was nice and sunny I just sat out in the park and cranked this one out! this is about our main girlie (forgot her name) who's like no. 20 in the world and in her first round playing wimbledon this was fun but villains were cartoonishly evil and there were lots of random little mistakes. in the first round of wimbledon, she plays the "lone british seeded player" who is ranked 55 (which ig is technically possible but I don't think would/has ever happened???) but then she makes mention of the fact that she herself is ranked 30 spots above her opponent which would also make her a seeded player so how are they versing each other in the first round of a slam? also the narrator mentions that since she travels so much she sometimes doesn't realise what city she's in and once sent an email to some people explaining her beautiful car ride from the abu dhabi airport to the hotel only for someone to respond that she's not in abu dhabi until next week. BUT THEN a few chapters later, it opens with a musing the fact that travel messes with players heads and that sometimes when they wake up, they don't know where they are but then we get this quote "the truth was she always knew exactly where she was, whether it was a hotel room in singapore or a short-term sublet in wimbledon village or a cramped seat on a slight across the pacific". so what's the deal. does she know where she is or does she not. it was little mistakes like this that took me out of the story as well as the fact that it was casually misogynistic at times and imo didn't treat it's gay characters with respect/give them depth besides being closeted and sad. 3 stars

STOP THE GAME OF THRONESIFICATION OF RANDOM IPS!!!!! STOP IT!!!! WE DON'T WANT IT!!! this is one of the companion duologies to the avatar the last airbender tv show, this one tells us kyoshi's origin story! and honestly. ugh. this was like atla if sozin was littlefinger and they killed sokka. it wasn't until the last quarter where I really got on board with this. idk if I would necessarily say that it was worth it but damn what an ending! I think that kyoshi was a really interesting character to unpack slowly and if you watched the original atla show and were annoyed cause aang was like wahhhh I don't wanna kill people๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿ˜ฃ I think this will satisfy your thirst for BLOOD. even though I complained about this book becoming kinda game of thrones-y, I think that the main villain was actually downright CHILLING and every time he did something fucked I was actually so gagged like I genuinely didn't believe that this book went there at times. it was actually fr crazy. like this was definitely for a slightly older age group than the atla show๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ if you're highly invested in the show and it's lore I wouldn't tell you to skip this but it's definitely not a must read and you could probably get a summary of kyoshi's origins by watching some nerd explain it to you on youtube. standby for the sequel review 3.25 stars

omg tea! miss leigh is amazing at writing stuff that is eerily foreboding and creepy af. this is a collection of fairytales for the grishaverse (her very popular high fantasy world where the shadow and bone & six of crows books are set!). I was actually so so impressed with how much she made these read like genuine fairytales! it definitely has a different purpose than her novels set in the universe and tbh i would even recommend this to people who haven't read the main series but love fiction with folktale witchy vibes. the only one that stood out as not being as good was the one that was a retelling of barbie in the nutcracker (the nutcracker and the mouse king). the rest were all excellent! slay! 4 stars

I mean, like, cool but I'm going to forget about it (like most mystery/thriller.....). this is about the owner of a bookstore that sells exclusively mystery/thriller books. he gets visited by a fbi person or something that tells him that she thinks there is a serial killer that is killing people in ways based off of a list of "perfect murders" in mystery books he made for his website like 10 years ago. this was interesting but once again forgettable. I read this like a month ago and I'm already forgetting lots of details. this book was written as a love letter to the mystery genre so j think that if you're really into that you will enjoy this but I would say maybe it's a skip if it's not a genre you gravitate towards cause there is better out there. 3 stars
