TBR MASSACRE: 8.11 thru 8.17

  BOOK WALL START: 2144 BOOK WALL GOAL:  2130  Thursday, August 11 Book Read! Final Draft by Riley Redgate I thought this was fun in the way that I do really enjoy books about writing. And this was definitely about writing. Had some moments I didn't expect; overall, not bad. 2143 Friday, August 12 Book Read! Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel Man this one took me a while. it was very well-done, but I know nothing about Tudor England, which definitely did hamper my enjoyment. Very fun. Very great. I lost momentum two hundred pages in and then it was a bit of a slog. But this did make me excited to read her French Revolution book, because I do know about the French Revolution.  2142 Saturday, August 13       Book Read! Letting Ana Go by Anonymous Oh man. Follows the script. Feel like this one might actually be used by teens with eating disorders to like. Uh. Get "better" at their eating disorders. Probably kinda harmful. 2141     Book Read!

TBR MASSACRE: 8.4 thru 8.10

I'm gonna suffer. 2148 Book Read! The Gravity of Us by Phil Stamper This book stressed me out, man, but by the end I was grinning hard it was so cute. I thought the main character was interesting, definitely flawed, definitely had some relatable aspects--I think this book was really hyped before it came out but then I never heard anything about it afterward, which is a shame.  2147   Friday, August 5 Book Read!

TBR MASSACRE: 7.28 thru 8.3

  BOOK WALL START: 2156 BOOK WALL GOAL: 2138 Thursday, July 28 Book Read! A Light in the Mist by Erin Hunter And look at that, another warrior cat arc down. I think this one does have some interesting implications for the next arc, though you can also completely tell that these guys are running out of shit to write about and they kind of wrote themselves in a corner with all of the supernatural stuff. I feel like we need another good physical villain that is not dead already. Kinda like a Darktail situation, I guess? Bring in someone strong and ambitious. Give me a real Tigerstar 2.0 2155 Friday, July 29 Book Read! Right or Wrong by Aurora Dimitre Yes, this is my own book. Buy + read this if you want to read about a kid who becomes friends with a douchey kid and then the douchey kid bullies a kid to suicide and our first kid is like, pretty conflicted about the whole deal.  2154     Saturday, July 30  Book Read! Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare This is not my first time
