For today\u2019s blog I\u2019ll be talking about books I\u2019m currently reading this month. I thought this would be a good idea because I want to start keeping a written catalogue of what I read. I figured doing this as a blog series would be an interesting way to keep track of it. I\u2019ll also be providing a little summary of the books as I explain what I like so far. Hopefully you like them enough to read them too.<\/p>\n
The Sun is Also a Star (Nicola Yoon): Started reading: 3\/24\/25; Currently on page 30; Scale of 1-10: 8<\/p>\n
\u00a0– This book is about two main characters named Natasha and Daniel.\u00a0 Natasha is an 18-year-old immigrant from Jamaica who has lived most of her life in America, until her father accidently gets a DUI, alerting law officials of their presence. The outcome for her family is deportation. Daniel, an 18-year-old Korean American struggles to compete with his overachieving older brother and their mission to become successful doctors. These two meet and discover their love for one another before Natsha\u2019s family gets deported.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve wanted to get my hands on this book ever since it came out in 2015. I was ecstatic when I found it on the shelf in the library. The colorful cover caught my eye in October, but I was too busy to check it out. Now it\u2019s march and I finally have it. I love that this book alternates 1st<\/sup> person POV of the two main characters. The author even includes POV\u2019s from background characters that the main characters have small interactions with. It\u2019s so interesting to see the narrator\u2019s thoughts and then find out how wrong they were. The only thing I don\u2019t like about this book is the pace. I know I\u2019m only on page thirty, but I feel like the story should be moving faster. I know it\u2019s important to include everyone\u2019s POV, but there are parts I would rather skip.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bones and All (Camille DeAngelis): Started reading: 2\/2\/25; Currently on page 60; Scale of 1-10: 7<\/p>\n -This book is about a girl who is abandoned by her mother and is left alone to navigate the world while being a cannibal. She meets this guy who is a hitchhiker (perfectly good dinner), but she notices that he\u2019s different from others. In the sense that he hasn\u2019t left her yet. They go on adventures while she figures out how to tell him that she is a cannibal.<\/p>\n My friend got this book for me at wild fox, and I like it. I heard about the movie before I knew about the book, so naturally I was really excited to read it. It has such interesting language and a lovable protagonist. The protagonist\u2019s backstory really pulls at the reader\u2019s heartstrings. The ONLY issue I have with this book is that I got SPOILED. Yes, I went on the internet because I was curious about characters in the book and got book flashed. Honestly, I wouldn\u2019t be angry about this if the ending was happy, but the ending is very sad. I\u2019m contemplating finishing the book now because I know what\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n Fourth Wing (Rebecca Yaros): Started reading 12\/27\/24; Currently on page 25; Scale of 1-10: 8<\/p>\n -This book is about Voilet Sorrengail who is the daughter of a commanding general. She is forced to join the dragon riders at a war college (a college where trainers can bond with dragons). This novel is a high fantasy and involves a romance between violet and another trainer. From what I\u2019ve heard, this novel is a fun, wild ride.<\/p>\n I like this book. I definitely need to start back reading it because I\u2019m only on page 8. I was a little busy around the time that I got it, so I didn\u2019t read as far as I wanted. I found out this book is a love triangle, which is a book trope that I cannot stand. It can be interesting to read, but as a reader it gives me mixed signals. Still, I don\u2019t know enough about this book to judge it yet, but I\u2019m a little worried. Aside from that, I like everything else about it. I\u2019m a fantasy lover.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For today\u2019s blog I\u2019ll be talking about books I\u2019m currently reading this month.
