Random blog post being published because I simply can’t stand not talking about books. But don’t expect another post for a while. 🙂
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
2 stars
I think it’s good to read classics. Sadly, my interest in most of them is pretty minimal so I skim a lot, but at least I can say I’ve read The Jungle Book and know its general story. Perhaps one day I’ll finally even watch the Disney animated classic and the live-action remake…
Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
5 stars. Reread.
I rewatched Hayao Miyazaki’s animated film and got inspired to reread the book. ❤
The Unearthly by Laura Thalassa
4 stars
I absolutely loved Laura’s The Vanishing Girl and The Decaying Empire — when is the third book coming out?! Anyway, I finally picked up The Unearthly, the first book in a YA series. Read it in one sitting. A little absurd, not as good as the other two books of hers I’ve read, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
Don’t Call Us Dead by Danez Smith
5 stars
Poetry by the awesome Danez Smith. And I got my copy signed!!
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
2 stars
Ditto above regarding my thoughts on classics and how I read most classics. I got the overall story of The Scarlet Letter. Did I savor every word? Of course not, my attention was probably 50% present.
Footfall at Follies by C.D. Noir
5 stars
Favorite book I’ve read since last checking in on the blog! You know I love my adult thrillers, and while this is more mystery than thriller, it revolves around the Broadway dance industry, which I know quite a bit about and find fascinating. Footfall at Follies takes place in the heart of New York City, in Times Square. It’s fast-paced, full of wonderful description, has wildly colorful characters, and a really original mystery at its core. I highly recommend checking this out if you like mysteries!
