"You consider that unjust, Serenity?" "We consider it cruel," Maia said. "And we do not think that cruelty is ever just."

Books I've Read (1/?): Leia, Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray
If she could do nothing else for the suffering people she'd just seen, she could at least free other in their name.
Books I've Read (2/?): Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel by James Luceno
Galen stared into the depths of the pellucid stone. Could it be cut? Could it be faceted? Could dopants be applied to heighten its conductivity and power output? Could its surface energy be altered? So many questions, so many questions, so many questions...
The end of June marks the half way point of a year of reading. So I thought maybe I’d share how I feel abt the books I’ve read from the start of the year up to now. I’ve read 10 books so far which is great, but I wish I could’ve gotten at least 15 in. But we’re making progress so that’s great!
Best book I’ve read so far: My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh
Biggest disappointment: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Biggest surprise: Dead Poet’s Society by N.H Kleinbaum
Book that made me cry: All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
Book that made me happy: Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
3 Books I want to read by the end of the year:
Diary of an Oxygen Thief by Anonymous
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Yes, I know some of these books are basic but I’m a slow reader and a busy person when it’s not summer so I have A LOT to read and catch up on.
Books I've Read....
My Review: Lovely stories. An author’s view on life and friends. I was about to say the best was kept for last but that’s not true. These stories are all on an equal footing. Life for all of us is made up of random moments - some made special by the people or places in them. 4 stars.
I may not have been sure about what really did interest me, but I was absolutely sure about what didn't.
