The Case of the Body on the Orient Express is a mystery novel about a murder on the Orient Express. It seems to me that this book is intentioned to be the "true story" that inspired Agatha Christie to write Murder on the Orient Express. I thought it was an interesting touch to include popular writers Agatha Christie and George Orwell as characters (there may be more but I only recognized their names). The writing style is a little abrupt and there aren't good transitions between POVs. Besides that, the story is very interesting and was a fun read. 3.75/5 stars.

Queen of Faces follows a girl named Anabelle who is stuck in a boy's body. In this fantastical world, people have souls called your 'Pith' that you can switch between bodies. She desperately wants to join the elite school for mages called Paragon but when she receives her third rejection letter, she turns to a life of crime. This book is a beautiful enemies-to-lovers story with an incredible plot centered around taking down the dark witch Khaiovhe. I thoroughly enjoyed the magic system and the world we were entrenched in. I'm very sad the book ended on a mild cliffhanger but I am so excited to read the next book and see where we go in this world. 5/5 stars.

Starlight She Becomes is a poetry collection detailing the author's journey through discovering herself and realizing her transness. This resonated deeply with me as someone trying to figure out my own identity. The emotions are raw and I could feel them through every line. 4.5/5 stars.
