I enjoyed trying to figure out who were the culprits behind the mystery. There were many twists and turns. I wanted to read this book before watching the show. It is also noted that there's another season coming out, so I definitely need to read the other books in the series!

My first book I've ever read from Jimenez and at some point I had read over 200 pages in a day. I could've finished it but I had to work. Needless to say, I loved this book! The way the characters worked through everything and how they treated each other. I will definitely be ordering her other books!

That concludes The Twilight Saga for me and I'm not sure how to describe how I'm feeling about it. It was a long journey to get to this point. Throughout this, I rewatched all the movies twice! Beyond that, this book is as long as it is because he's a vampire. They don't sleep and they have anything but time! It was interesting to hear his thoughts and imagine his perspectives throughout reading this. Also getting to learn more about all of the Cullens too with some of their inner most thoughts and feelings. I will always think this saga is peak.

That concludes this series for me! I was playing each of the movies in my head as I was reading these and that made it go by so much quicker. The extra details the movies left out makes me wish it was something that was left in. A great read! Onto Midnight Sun!

It was interesting listening about her whole life. The change that comes with aging. Listening to all that she has been through and how she persevered through it all is inspiring.

I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki

Baek Se-hee

2.25

dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad fast-paced

I ended up listening to the second book. I don't recommend this book for those that are going through the kinds of things she is.

The disordered eating and the diet camp was a hard listen. I understand one would want structure in a day, but workring out for that many hours on end? For almost a month? Then ultimately never being satisfied. Then talks about an appetite suppressant...a lot to unpack there.

So, even though it feels odd to rate, there it is.
