My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I finally started my JoJourney!

So far, no big feelings. The art is very outdated. The story was kind of good but slightly generic.

I could relate a bit to Jonathan Joestar in certain moments, which made it easier to get through the story.

However, I understand the best of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure happens later in the story, and I will definitely stick around to see what's coming next.

This volume did end on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I am anxiously waiting for the second volume, which I already have on hold at the library.

I can't wait to read the next one!

The Forsaken Planet by Bryan Wilson My rating: 4 of 5 stars I had a lot of fun reading The Forsaken Planet! Last night I finished this book, and I realized how much I was invested. I ate up the final 30% of the book. In a universe where different planets are inhabited by humans capable of controlling the power of the stars called Solara, Earth was the only human planet where these powers have been forgotten. An ancient prophecy claims that the one who wields the power of the stars on Earth is the Son of the Prophets and will lead humanity to Salvation. The MC Colton survives an attack of alien forces on Earth and is suspected to have wielded Solara in the night when the attack took place. The journey leads us to Vintara, a distant planet with a purplish tone to its atmosphere where most of the action will take place. The book is a very detailed sci-fi saga that brings classic and fantasy elements to the game, resulting in an immersive experience for the reader. The biggest quality

I read Yellowface by R. F. Kuang and it was one of my favorite books of 2023!

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang My rating: 5 of 5 stars I finished reading Yellowface yesterday and... I absolutely loved it! I was going through a long phase of reading only fantasy/sci-fi and reading something so contemporary was a great refresher. June Hayward sees her talented writer friend Athena Liu die in front of her eyes while they are hanging out at Athena's apartment when June decides to grab the manuscripts from Athena's apartment before she leaves. June proceeds to publish Athena's last book under the name of Juniper Song, a book about a lost episode of Chinese history. The book explores the publishing process that takes books from an author's computer to the shelves of a bookstore. The book also debates racism, feminism, cancel culture, mental disorders, etc. All of that is in only about 300 fast-paced and extremely funny pages. No wonder this book won the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction 2023. However, I can definitely see that it may not be for everyone, s
