Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

.....Ok so my best friend loves this series and I have been talked into reading it (also BookTok)
I would screenshot my live reactions that I sent to her...but spoilers.
Celaena has my eyes--as in they're blue with a ring of gold in the middle....  She is so fierce, and I love her.
....Ohhhhh so many innuendos
I love Chaol. I would die for him.
Dorian is a diva, and he is a Disney princess.
The doggos. Heart eyes.
......I am obssessed with Chaol. I just. I can't.
Aaaaaand I ordered the entire box set because I'm not patient and can't wait in line for things, and yeah.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO MY BABY CHAOL AND HOW EVERYTHING ENDS. NO ONE SPOIL ANYTHING. I IS AFRAID.

Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

I LOVE PIRATES. THE TROPE I LIVE FOR
.....You can't just name a character Riden and expect me to sit here and do/say nothing...like...come on.

Finally some light light angst, cute soft boys, a sprinkle of enemies to lovers, and pirates and sirens, sfdjklsfdajklsfda;jkl I love a girl with a sword. Also just Riden.... my clever boy.. My stupid clever boy.

It's a nice break from all of the painful super angsty fiction I've been reading. Like no saving the world right now, just a fun adventure. It's good to not be in too much pain for once. I have found my YA fiction landfill and I am living in it. Just let me bliss out on this wonderful easy read.

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller

Soooooo that was spicier than I expected (like not scene-wise)....
Slytherin main characters..... They're great.
Kallias.....sigh. I love his powers, and I love the mythology of the world. I still want to Gibbs slap him.
Enemies to lovers.
Characters who are able to be themselves around each other. I live for characters accepting each other for their "flaws" and quirks.

Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich, with Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul

Soooooo Evan's anxiety..... I feel seen.
Also all the self-loathing and feeling like a burden.....
I loved the musical (I haven't actually seen it, but I love the music!) so getting to be in Evan's head and see Connor's perspective....
I love that the audiobook was read by the actors that play Evan and Connor (and we get to hear Zoey singing).

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

Y'all I'm stressed.

Sejanus is a precious cinnamon roll and I am adopting him.

Ok but now I need to go back and reread the whole series and just you know...cry...and analyze...and cry....

Ever the Hunted by Erin Summerill

.....These idiots.... How can they be so stupid....Define the relationship, y'all. This would save so much angst.
I'm just gonna be a blushing mess over here. I'm fine.
Y'all..... The classic fanfic trope that kills me every time it happens... It happened...
These dodos caring more about the well-being of the other.... Don't mind me; I'm just crying about sacrificial love...
The horse is the third wheel... or is Britta the thrid wheel? The world may never know.
Ok but the line where Britta thought about how she actually wanted people to like her, and that she was kind of lying to herself when she pretended that what people said about her didn't hurt....That hurt. I did not sign up to be attacked like this.

Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo

I love the doggo Runner
Rainbow cats.... where are the other three, idk.
It does not help when one character is named Billy and another is Benny. I am confusion.

Surviving Schizophrenia: A Family Manual by E Fuller Torrey M.D.

I love that the author, Torrey, came from the perspective both as someone who knows someone with schizophrenia (his sister) and as a researcher. I don't know whether or not my relative has schizophrenia yet, but if he does, I'm really glad that I have this as a resource. Torrey didn't sugar-coat things, but also didn't crush all hope of anything ever being good again. I loved how thorough and organized it was as a book. It literally covered everything I could think of, and I appreciate that it's been updated and revised to keep up with changes through the years. It was easy to read, and he offered a lot of other resources to consult, with his own annotations and thoughts on which would be most helpful and accurate.
