The Book Eaters

Sunyi Dean

DID NOT FINISH: 11%


I'm really disappointed in this one as it was one of my most anticipated books of 2022 so of course I waited until November 2023 to pick it up just to be disappointed. 

Thirty-two pages in and so much happened, yet the scene wasn't set. Where are the details on why book eaters have two sets of teeth? Why mind eaters have long tongues? Why do these "families" not get along like they're crime organizations. 
challenging inspiring reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

In Defense of Witches: The Legacy of the Witch Hunts and Why Women Are Still on Trial

Mona Chollet

DID NOT FINISH: 18%

If I wanted to hear what single, childless women experience in current day, I’d just go outside. 
lighthearted reflective medium-paced

Was this the best memoir I've ever read? No.

Did I expect more from Britney? Absolutely not. It seems like a lot of you expected a literary masterpiece from someone that as gone through hell from her family, doctors, and Hollywood. 

Britney doesn't owe the world every nitty, gritty detail into her life. I think enough was her sharing a very traumatizing event when she was dating JT. 

Obviously a ghost writer was involved and I'm glad there was one. I think the ghost writer was successful in still portraying the memoir as it was from Britney. 

What more could we have expected from a memoir from someone that had been constantly followed by the paparazzi or had her family leaking stories for years? This memoir was exactly what I expected to get. 

I do wonder why something wasn't added to mention her divorce from Sam as there could've been a quick maybe one chapter on it added as that happened in August and this was released in October. There have been edits made to other memoirs in a quicker turn around time. 

Final thoughts: May JT, Kevin, and her family never know peace.
