VRC #4! This was a hard read, the content was way more intense than I expected it to be. But I really liked the view it gave from both perspectives.

Second book for Battle of the Books! I really enjoyed this one and how it flipped between the two characters. It was sad, but not to the level some of the other books I’ve read for work have been so I appreciate that! I also loved the friendship between Calliope and Jinsong!

Read this for Battle of the Books at work! This book had a lot more going on in it than I expected it to! I really enjoyed seeing the connections between all the events and people in the town, and for the most part all the characters were very likable!
I was listening to the audio for this one and ended up running out of time for my borrow. I was waiting to check it out again but at this point I don’t even remember where I left off so I’m calling it.
