Haiku Review:
😭😭😭😭😭
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😭😭😭😭😭

Real talk. That's 2/2 books I've read by this author that had me slowly set the book down at the end and say, “Damn. That was f'd up.“
Incredibly sad, full of trauma, and not easy to read nonstop. (Unless that's your thing?)
Took about 6 months to read due to how raw it was. Many tears were shed. Would I read it again? HELL NO! But I'm incredibly glad I read it once. A masterpiece of sorrow.

A queer retelling
Of the classic book, Jane Eyre
Thoughtful and charming
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Regardless of having never read, Jane Eyre, I enjoyed this. Introspective, while simultaneously bringing awareness to the genderqueer/gender fluid community. I felt seen while reading. ❤️

Terrifying tale
When past has a vendetta
And seeks its revenge
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hands down the most terrifying story I've read this year.
Don't mess with nature. Because those actions might come back to haunt you later.... 🦌🦌🦌

I'm still reeling. I especially enjoyed the way it ended. Second book I've read by this author this year, and I'm quickly becoming a fan.

While the ghost parts didn't necessarily freak me out, the dysfunctional behavior of this family certainly did.

This book was giving
Romeo and Juliet
Sans the tragedy

Gamer geek sundae
With dystopia sprinkles
80s pop on top
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Read this with my gaming geek partner, and it was so much fun. Full of nostalgic easter eggs. Wonder if that was intentional? 🤔 I say most likely. . 🤓
Bonus mod for this audiobook was the nat 20 roll to have Wil Wheaton as the narrator. Great choice.

Quest for Fire vibes
Extremely repetitive
Still, I liked this.. Why?
⭐️⭐️⭐️
#haikureview
I watched the movie adaptation of this book with my partner as I was reading the end, and honestly, I was more a fan of the movie ending than the book one.🤫
Despite the Multitude of repetitive descriptions throughout the book (WE GET IT), and the fantasy ideation of Clan Life 25,000+ years ago... I still find myself checking out Valley of Horses.. *sigh

All memories lost
Cat doesn't know who to trust
But she'll find out fast...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⚡️

I found this absolutely unhinged. It's a good story if you're into the world of cults and brainwashing. I'm not sure why, but I find cults fascinating. I don't know if I wish I could be duped myself as a way to escape reality, or I just find it wild that ppl can be so easily influenced by others. Either way, this was a good read.

A tale of revenge
With a science fiction twist
Don't mess with the Tusks
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This short novella definitely made up for the less than savory finish of my last read.
