A Dress to Die For is a mystery novel following Mandy as she discovers her friend Kate murdered after buying a gorgeous vintage dress. We see her investigation into the murder and getting caught up in small town drama.

This was a very cozy mystery that I was able to finish in one sitting. It felt like a classic amateur detective novel and allowed the reader to try and figure out the mystery along with Mandy, I would recommend this book for adults who read Nancy Drew as a child. 4/5 stars.

absolutely devastating.

wild to realize at the end of the book that you're witnessing rin's slow decline into madness but since she's the narrator it's so unreliable. like she recognizes that the feeling she's having from war isn't her usual reaction but she has no issue with it. but in fact she is going mad. also her and kitay dying together so sad😭

This book is an in depth discussion about CO2 and the role it plays in the creation, maintenance and the future destruction of our planet. This was a very dense novel with a lot of information to parse. It was quite interesting and I enjoyed reading the history of the molecule. I will say this book would benefit from some illustrations of what is being discussed. There are a few references to illustrations which I couldn't tell if there were supposed to be pictures that weren't compatible with digital reading. I think I would have had an easier time reading if I had a physical copy to flip through.

Overall a pretty informative, interesting book. 3/5 stars.

r.f. kuang when i get my hands on you.... you'll be paying for my therapy bills. god poor nezha.

What's Yours is Mine is a thriller novel following Kate and Collette as they compete for a prestigious dance scholarship. The story has a Dance Moms-esque vibe to it with the drama and chaos that ensues. I truly could not believe what I was reading most of the time, it was so ridiculous. I definitely struggled at times because the plot was so petty and insane. Just unreliable narrator after unreliable narrator.

I wouldn't read something like this again since it's way out of my wheel house but it was an enjoyable read. 3/5 stars.

this really felt like a great description of what an abusive relationship feels like from an insider perspective. something felt wrong about the plot/story though 

suzanne collins strikes again. extra painful this time bc we know haymitch survives it's just a matter of how horribly did he suffer to become an alcoholic

wanted to cry so many times but i chose to read this at work so fuck me i guess.

very action packed, always some plot point occuring but not my type of story

this was a wonderful recollection of queer spaces.

this book wasn't for me. it started very slowly and had a large activation energy for me to get into. and once it actually got going, the plot was only mildly interesting to me.
