[saetgviareadsbooks]

top books of 2024 (so far)

unfortunately, school is back on... so in these 4.5 months i've read 19 books!

top book: since this is a collation of 4.5 months and i read i lot of series, i'll pick 2: the house with chicken legs (read march, rated ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) & i hope this doesn't find you (read may, rated ⭐⭐⭐⭐) both of these books were wonderfully written with an engaging plot and covered some deep themes without it getting heavy or boring. these were a

top series: picking two! nevermoor by jessica townsend (i read all 3 of these books) and the illuminae files (read 2/3 books). both of these series are ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because. they're just. amazing.

other books i read:

three dark crowns series by kendare blake ⭐⭐⭐⭐. MWAH. DELICIOUS. fantasy lands, murderous sisters and politics? COUNT ME IN. the first book was crazy boring since it was all context but it's IMPORTANT context. also the last 10% of it is INSANE. would recommend!

the legends of eerie-on-sea series by thomas taylor mysterious orphan trope going adventuring done right. the suspense is crazy and even after re-reading these books for like the 3rd time it's still as engaging as ever! ⭐⭐⭐⭐.

the mulberry tree by allison rushby mc is annoying sometimes, but overall a good book with a good plot and i'm ngl i really liked the realistic fantasy element of this! would recommend for younger readers since immy (mc) is 10 turning 11 and i think adults would love it too. ⭐⭐⭐⭐.

before the coffee gets cold by toshikazu kawaguchi sweet, heart touching stories and a cup of time travelling coffee. ⭐⭐⭐⭐.

coraline by neil gaiman a horror story for kids, but i loved it. i'm ngl the concept did creep me out, and it did its job well. would definitely reread. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

othello by shakespeare it was actually not that bad! iago was characterised really well and the machiavel characterisation used to justify is actions (a machiavel is just someone who justifies morally wrong actions to gain power) was really interesting. watching othello's descent into madness was also well written. ⭐⭐⭐⭐.

demon slayer (kimetsu no yaiba) vol. 1 by koyoharu gotouge how can you NOT like demon slayer. go read it rn. or watch it. whichever. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

the spanish love deception by elena armas, icebreaker by hannah grace and accidentally amy by lynn painter these are all grouped together bc they're all romances i dnfed. i need some sort of plot in my novels and i need it to be 70% plot 30% romance or i lose interest. this was 90% romance and 10% plot so i really just couldn't. accidentally amy was decent since lynn painter is really good at writing romance, but in both icebreaker and spanish love deception they fell in love really easily. also, i skipped like 80% of icebreaker since it was all smut and i don't really want to read that.

This book is magic. It came into my life at the perfect time, precisely when I needed to read it. The charming little illustrations, and the creepily quaint inhabitants were a joy to see and imagine and spend time with. The book arrived just yesterday, and I've already finished a bit more than half of it and am now mourning the end. I thought the magic had gone out of December for me this year, but some of it has come back in with 'Malamander'. 🖤

Book: Malamander by Thomas Taylor.
