hi! i'm quill and one of my goals for 2026 was to read more books, specifically, the books sitting on my bookshelf untouched. i'd like to get through all of them by the end of the year! here you'll find reviews for each book i read during the year. if you'd like to recommend a book to me, please feel free to send me an ask! i won't be reading any new books until i get through my bookshelf, but i will hold onto it until the end :)

(an * means it's a re-read!)

Heartless* by Marissa Meyer | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ started 5/3 - finished 6/27

i love this book very much!! i was surprised to see that the end didn't make me sob uncontrollably this time like it has the last few times i've read it, but it still is a somber end that hurts so good. i love wonderland stories and i was itching to re-read after playing the demo of habromania :) 4 stars instead of 5 because it's lost a little of its charm over the years

Imogen, Obviously by Becky Albertalli | ⭐ started sometime in 2025 - finished early 2026

i had a lot of faith and expectation in this book and tbh i did not really like it! i think i would've really appreciated it as a kid but it's very much a young adult book and i found the story a bit boring. the conversations were very much filled with queer discourse and borderline therapy speak and it suffers from being too modern (there's one scene that is consistently noting which modern pop song is playing in the background and it distracts from the conversation at hand). but it was sweet
