19. The Aroosi Arrangement by Arezou Amin
📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

This was so fun! I loved learning more about Iranian culture and it was awesome to see good demisexual representation. I can’t wait to read more from Arezou!

18. Superman: Birthright by Mark Waid
📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ok finally a Superman I liked! You can really tell this was the inspiration for James Gunns version

17. The Faceless Thing We Adore by Hester Steel
🎧
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting but I had a hard time keeping my attention on it, the pacing was a bit all over the place

16. Star Trek Strange New Worlds Omnibus by Mags Visaggio, Kristen Beyer, Mike Johnson, Ryan Parot, and Jody Houser
📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Felt like reading episodes that never aired ANDD I got crumbs for my ships 🙂‍↕️

15. Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma
🎧
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was VERY well done but I wish it had focused more on the house or the school instead of doing both.

14. Far Sector by NK Jemisin
📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve never read Green Lantern before and my god did I love this. This will probably make people mad but it’s like the perfect marriage of the Star Wars prequels and Star treck

13. The Mean Ones by Tatiana Schlote-Bonne
🎧
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mean girls 🙂‍↕️ cults 🙂‍↕️ caves and forests 🙂‍↕️good for her 🙂‍↕️

12. Hemlock and Silver by T Kingfisher
🎧
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A very fun take on Snow White but just a little too slow for 5 stars

11. The Titan’s Curse by Rick Riordan
📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reread

10/10 recommend rereading after season two of the series! I’m so happy season three is this year

10. Grave Flowers by Autumn Krause

9. Deceased by Tom Taylor
📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very fun, but also very dark. Don’t think I will read the other volumes because my faves didn’t make it lol

8. Superman/Batman by Jeph Loeb
📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Ok so I think I can officially say that I’m not into Superman unless it’s David cornsweat lmao, I also respect the superbat girlies however Batman invented yerning for Catwoman

I know this is somehow harry styles doing

7. Legacy of Vader by Charles Soule
📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This series was a terrible time but THIS one had the sauce. This issue is marked safe for reylos and Ben solo lovers

6. Gentlest of Wild Things by Sarah Underwood
🎧
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A little slow/long but I really liked the ending

Percy and Annabeth hiding under sheep skins in the 6th episode of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2. Text in image reads “the demigod dish season 2 ep 6”

Percy “burn it all down” Jackson you will always be famous

5. Batman: The Court of Owls by Scott Snyder
📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Didn’t like it as much as hush or the long Halloween but those last few chapters were 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

4. A Dark Forgetting by Kristen Ciccarelli
🎧
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pacing is a bit weird (feels like three different books at times) but definitely some good things here. Doesn’t hold a candle to crimson moth though

Lots of changes from the book but we are kind of here for it tbh!

77. Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer

The plot really meanders and the character development is all over the place but I unfortunately will be reading the second book because I see a glimmer of a good story here

76. The Executioners Three by Susan Dennard
🎧
⭐️⭐️.5

I fell victim to a pretty cover and was then subjected to horrible 90s references and the horniest teenagers ever
