I did a book crawl this year around march and really found the love of reading again. I know a lot of it is trash by literature standards but I’ve enjoyed the escapism quite a bit. My favorite was Moonbound, maybe my favorite sci-fi book of all time tbh. I also enjoyed the House of Salt and Sorrows, Bitterblue, and Sea Sparrow quite a bit.

What were your favorite books?

    100% with you on Red Queen. As soon as it was about armies and a revolutionary force and all that it just kinda faded in interest. I think honestly just too YA for me. All I remember is that the people have powers and there’s a cool walled city or something?

    I totally get North Woods, it was strange. The supernatural bits felt a little out of place at the end. Definitely a love letter to naturalism though.

      That’s such a hard question!!!

      I really liked the dark materials series growing up.

      I recently read The Constant Rabbit by Jasper Fforde which was brilliant.

      I have also loved the Fallen Gods trilogy by Hannah Kaner.

      I also have reread Ready Player One a few times.

      All of the Hunger Games books I have found to be easy to read and intriguing.

      Have you read the opposite of butterfly hunting? It was very out of my normal reading but was brilliant.
