Being Mary Bennet | J. C. PETERSON

I got the chance to see a hilarious play entitled "Miss Bennett: Christmas at Pemberly" earlier this year and now I think Mary might be my favorite P&P character.

I was impressed at how this acted as a response to Pride and Prejudice without being a retelling. The characters have depth and growth and fit their modern setting perfectly. It looks like the author is planning on continuing with another sister, so I'm excited for that!

Scorpio Races | Maggie Stiefvater

I remember first reading this book in junior high, and to the surprise of nobody, this is still a really exciting book. I had forgotten the ending, which pushed me to read it fast. The only thing I'd want to see more of is what happens after the ending we get a glimpse of. It left me wanting more.

Also, I would never want to live in this world.

Once Upon A Broken Heart | Stephanie Garber

Magical, witty, and engaging - this is a must read. I might consider waiting to read this until the next book is out to quell the heartache (lol, get it?) caused by the cliffhanger ending. This story is a great addition to the Caraval legacy, and I look forward to seeing more of my favorite antihero

This is fun and frivolous. Reading this made me feel how watching a silent film felt. I feel like it didn't even need words half the time. It made me laugh. I'm excited to keep reading this series. Seriously, give me back my feelings 🤣🤣
