🌻AUGUST WRAP-UP: NEWTs READATHON EDITION🌻 . 🌿Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me (9/10). Wonderful graphic novel which explores the impact unhealthy relationships can have on ourselves and the people around us. 🌿Almost Love (4/10). The manipulative aspect of the “relationship” - although it was just a sex thing more than anything - and the impact it made was done well but the main character was just awful, even before the said relationship. She would’ve destroyed everything in her life given enough time. She was horrid, an absolute asshole. And one of those characters that never take the blame for everything because blaming others is easier, right? 🌿Skyward (8/10). A coming of age story set in space about friendships and realizing that the actions of our families do not define us. 🌿Lanny (9/10). An absolute wonder. Porter’s prose is enticing, rich and dazzling. Really impactful. 🌿Ship of Magic (8.5/10). Finally Robin Hobb delivers. This is a really awesome first book in a trilogy. 🌿The Priory of the Orange Tree (6/10). This was sadly a letdown. Not bad, but didn’t live up to my expectations. It had pacing problems and not all the characters were fleshed out equally. 🌿Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. This will always get 5 stars - nostalgia is a bitch. I’m gonna reread the whole series in the following months and plan to do a comparison between books and movies because I have things to say. . And that is all! I completed my NEWTs and I can become a Hogwarts Professor 🙌🏼. How was your reading month? Any good gems you read? Or books to stay away from? Spill the beans! 🌻 • • • #readingwrapup #shipofmagic #harrypotterandthephilosophersstone #lanny #lauradeankeepsbreakingupwithme #skyward #almostlove #theprioryoftheorangetree #stackofbooks #bookstack #booksonbooks #booksoninstagram #readinggirl #booksaremagic https://www.instagram.com/p/B13QkNeor5T/?igshid=vzguy25kv09g
