I loved how this novel encompassed two people from completely different worlds not only in upbringing but also job-related and how they supported each other for in their business.

The Hobbit was my first introduction into the world of Middle-earth and I absolutely loved it. I was a huge fan of the story and how Tolkien addresses certain aspects through fantasy figures. I liked that we got to see the Dwarfs and got an explanation in their life and what the lonely mountain and Erebor mean to them.

I read this book as a mandatory read for school and it was one of the few books that I read for school that I really liked afterward. I liked how it combines important topics such as the protection of indigenous people with the typical struggle of teenagers and had influences of Magical realism.

For the Odysse being such a big epic, I was astonished by how easy I found it read. It definitely took some time getting used to the language but afterward it gives away to a fantastic story.

As with the Odysse I was astonished by how easily I got into the language. It was really fantastic to see the full story of the Trojan war play out and how all the glimpses I had from cultural references beforehand were brought together.

This was a very interesting play about immigration and one of the few school books I actually liked.

This was definitely not my favorite Alice Oseman book but I still enjoyed listing to it. The writing was beautiful as always but I was never really a big fandom person so I could not really connect to the characters this way. I thought that the mental health rep and the topics discussed in this novel were fantastic and I really liked it for that.

I think Talia Hibbert is quickly becoming an auto-buy author for me. I really liked this short novella because while it chronicled the relationship between Nina and James, it also focused on important topics in society and how it influences people.

I really liked this novella and the relationship portrayed in it.

It took me quite a long time to read this novel which is to be expected by the size of it, but I absolutely loved it. It definitely is a fantastic story about family and life and even though it is quite dull at some moments, it is incredibly fast in others. At some points, it really seems more like a character study than a novel. The ending definitely shocked me but it somehow was a fitting conclusion for the novel.
