Mother of Eden
by Chris Beckett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Such a fascinating world, with so much to say about humanity, society, power, politics, etc. But it never says anything in an in-your-face sort of way. It just presents the world and people and lets you draw your own, educated conclusions, based on how things occur.
Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal
by Conor Grennan

I was so caught up in this that I stayed up until 2 AM on a work night to read is straight through.
The Hating Game
by Sally Thorne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book tackles a lot of common romance tropes in the most enjoyable fashion, including office place romance and enemies to lovers. It’s funny and quirky, which makes it stand out in the deep sea of romance.
Children of Virtue and Vengeance
by Tomi Adeyemi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is magnificent and emotionally brutal. I ugly cried not once, but twice while reading this story. I should write an entire novel about how much I enjoy this series, but I’m exhausted and wrecked. So this is all for now.
The Astonishing Color of After
by Emily X.R. Pan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Gorgeous writing. Difficult topic, handled well. Elements of magical realism. Lots of insight into Taiwanese culture. Overall, this was a good read with a unique format and a lot of moving parts, but it all came together beautifully in the end.
