We DID read Ana on the Edge and liked it! Definitely getting the cheesey vibes from most of the middle grade novels we've also read. Good to know thank you!

Finished both of these and gave them both 5 stars. If anyone's looking for a belated Black History Month read, highly recommend both. (Apologies Camden, we have BHM in a different month over here!)

Now listening to Pet by Akwaeke Emezi.

I gave this 5 stars and regretted ever giving anything else 5 stars because this was truly something else.

Then I listened to The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar and gave it 5 stars because the regret above clearly did not last long.

Now I'm reading Open Grave by A.M. Peacock (because I know him irl!!!) and listening to Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi

I gave this 4 stars because honestly I just wasn't smart enough to understand it all but I know it was amazing. Also trigger warning for like, everything with that book!
I then listened to The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave and gave it 3 stars.

Now listening to Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt.

After seeking advice on how to rate a book written by someone I know I gave this 4 stars!

Also gave this 4 stars. Am trying to moderate my desire to give most things 5 stars :P

Now I am
- reading Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters
- listening to The Ski Trip by Sarah Clarke.

And I also have a joint audibook on the go with K which will take ages to get through as they prefer listening at normal speed! It's All Her Fault by Andrea Mara.

I have the opposite problem, Jenna. I rarely give 5 stars! Just because Goodreads describes that as 'amazing' and I don't know what constitutes amazing.

A rare 3 stars from me!

Now listening to Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez. Which comes with a side quest of 'is she a terf' =S
