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.
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.
