Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 7

4.0

tense medium-paced

Solidly shows the uncertainty you'll have when being the CHILD in an age gap relationship with your teacher. Also the extra story at the end was fun, seeing which shoujo male leads I recognize.

funny fast-paced

The funniest love triangle I've read, ever. I love how the characters in this series solve their issues it's refreshing.

Sin Eater

dark mysterious medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The sin eating, characters, and mystery were my favorite part. May has an enjoyable perspective to read through. The fact that the author repeats the same descriptions almost word for word 3 times about the ghettos the jewish people used to live in and the overuse of the word "mayhaps" makes me wonder what the editor was up to.

Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History

Tori Telfer

4.5

informative sad fast-paced

Easy to read, grabs your attention and pretty gruesome. I liked the insight into these women and how they were sensationalized in media. The author chose to keep the killers "vintage" to give the book a spooky vibe instead of a depressing close to home one which I appreciate.

Being Rita Hayworth: Labor, Identity, and Hollywood Stardom

Adrienne L. McLean

5.0

informative reflective slow-paced

As a fan of Rita Hayworth and someone who loves musicals: perfect book. This was a great analysis of her life and how she was framed personally and publicly by her heritage and her dance. It made me hate Orson Welles. A lot.
