All the books below will be books I've completed and a small opinion I had on them along with the link to my full reviews. I will also have the books that are on my TBR for the rest of the year that I haven't completed. Please Check out my reviews and make sure to share my post with your friends.

Completed ✔

Milk & Honey

i don't read poetry often but milk & honey was a great introduction to it Rupi Kaur writes about love and loss, femininity, and so much more. This book, speaks on topics like female empowerment or what it means to love. I just had to buy this book after hearing so many people talk about it. This book is beautiful I related to many.

The Sun And Her Flowers

i read this just after i finished milk & honey and both these books spoke to my while i liked milk & honey more unlike most this book is still very special. The sun and her flowers is about healing and finding the root of our own feelings and suffrage.Just like milk & honey, the verse is straightforward, This book is beautiful, The range of feelings felt outrage, pride, dread, disgrace, happiness,love. These poems are genuine.

Teen Titans: Raven

Although i didn't write an review i really liked this graphic novel it was easy to follow and read it took me one class period to do so i cant wait to finish the rest of the series

Full Disclosure

It's a book that deep-dives into an issue that a lot of people can't, or won't, talk about, and does so with depth, sympathy, and a great story. young people feel like they can't discuss their sexual experiences without feeling embarrassed and humiliated and the book is open to that talk. the author additionally discusses other topics like sexuality, asexuality being one. this book is a great for all it teaches you about something you might have had little knowledge on.

City Of Bones

City of Bones is quicked paced and action packed, it kept me on my feet and interested the entire time, Ms.Clare created a beautiful world the i immersed myself in putting myself int to characters shoes, the characters were never dull unless the werent meant to be and the antagonist were three dimensional and i really liked that. there are twist turns and secrets throughout the whole story and puzzles that u must put together.

City Of Ashes

honestly i don't see myself leaving from the mortal instrument world ever i'm going to be in my 50s still reading every single book cassie has put out about those in the shadowhunters world. in CoA we start where we left of in CoB jace and clary falling out and simon still gawking over clary. i really like that the pressure between clary and jace was visible and knowing they would do anything for each other was making me all fluffy inside.

City Of Glass

From the start CoG was amazing, i finally got to invision Alicante & Idris itself something i've been waiting for since CoB. i loved the way new characters were introduced the were written and planned beautifully it makes me happier i read this right after CoA. i think the main reason i love the mortal instruments is because Cassandra does amazing building up the world more and more.

Glass Sword

As I sat furious at this merciless world, i realize Victoria Aveyard enjoys making us cry. She loves making me laugh, become hopelessly in love shade and afterward kill him and makes me drown in a pool of tears. Red Queen wasnt new per se I still had lots of X-Men vibes while reading Glass Sword but I still enjoyed this book. This continuation carries Red Queen to an entirely another level, exploiting the divide between Reds and Silvers realistically.

King's Cage

We start right where we left off in glass sword Mare is held captive by Maven the demon spawn/puppet of Elara. you would think the book would be boring seeing it's mostly about Mares time locked away but the interactions between her and maven plus other characters point of view makes it just as good as RQ and GS. i especially love when Mare gets her powers back i just imagined it as the scene in Thor: Ragnarok.

The Merciless

i thought these girls need serious help but boy was i wrong the merciless was a ride through hell should i say, so much was happening that i had to take breaks to breath the entire book i was on one side but then the end it me like a train it was crazy

The Hunger Games

Hunger Games was a great read i loved how collins introduced us to the world it was well written. Katniss is a great protagonist i loved that she spent such a long time in survival mode that it's difficult for her to have a typical relationship with individuals and she continually questions everybody's intentions.
