January Reads and Ratings
january reads and my reviews on good reads:
love light farms - “this has to be the most annoying book i’ve ever read. the main character is so self sabotage that i almost didn’t finish the book. i hate when characters are like “i don’t deserve this love” like be for real. he said he loved you and you’re like “no you don’t” like??? and then later on he like omg he does love me. i liked it until about half way through. the fake dating concept was cool. it was a drawn out book and was longer than it needed to be”
project hailmary- “i loved it! it has just the right amount of “oh no” moments. things went wrong but not enough to where it was like come on can nothing go right. i think it was so cool that the grace and rocky found a way to communicate. i liked the present and past aspect of it so you found out how it all happened. i do wish we could find out how earth fixed the problem and grace could go back to prove it wasn’t a suicide mission and stick it to that lady’s face”
educated (audiobook)- “taras writing was amazing and it was so easy to imagine what was happening. it sucks what she went through. i just don’t get how people are that crazy. also hated when she mentioned diego and how he was killed. i get why but i just hate when animals die. so interesting to read this book and then read the interview with her parents”
As we step into 2025, the literary world offers a plethora of new titles and genres worth exploring. For those looking for captivating stories, novels across various themes such as science fiction, memoirs, and contemporary romance are taking center stage. 'Project Hail Mary' by Andy Weir, for instance, not only captivates with its sci-fi elements but also engages readers through emotional character arcs and intelligent plot twists. Similarly, memoirs like Tara Westover's 'Educated' continue to resonate, offering deep insights into resilience and the pursuit of knowledge against all odds. If you're active on platforms like Goodreads, joining discussions and following popular hashtags can keep you in the loop about trending reads. Whether you're seeking thought-provoking narratives or light-hearted romances, January sets the tone for a year filled with enriching literature. Make sure to explore book clubs and online communities to connect with fellow readers who share your interests.
