My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I just finished my second volume of Jojo's, and things have definitely improved. 🎉🎉

The artwork is AMAZING, excellent stuff. I really like Jonathan Joestar!! 🥰🤭

Things got interesting. Dio is a fantastic villain. I loved the references to historical figures. They made things pop out and get a little brighter, at least for me. 🧛🏻‍♂️🧟🏻‍♂️

The dialogue still seems harsh. I am not sure if the translation or the fact that it was the 80's, but things look very blunt, with no foreshadowing. However, that does make for a Bizarre Adventure I guess. 🤔

Anyway... you can count me in as a Jojo fan as of now!! 🥳🥳

I am anxious to get the next volume, which is already on hold in my local library. 🤗

I read Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved reading Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. ❤ The book is about a Nigerian girl who moves to the US for university. Living all her life in Nigeria, she has never perceived race as a problem, and getting to America, she recognizes herself as black and what race means to the American culture. It is a powerful book. As someone who has immigrated from South America to North America, there were a lot of relatable topics. I have wanted to read immigrant literature for a while, and I feel like I made a great choice to start things up. The only downside is that the book was a little longer than needed. I feel like about 100 pages could be cut out, and the ending was a little rushed. Still, it's a fantastic book! Cheers everybody! View all my reviews

I just finished reading Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros... AND ...

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros My rating: 3 of 5 stars I finished reading Fourth Wing and... I hate it! But, I liked it! But I hate it! But it's really cool! But, oh my god! No, don't! But, it's okay, I liked it it. Kinda. I guess. It was the biggest book on the internet in 2023, so I decided to give it a shot. First of all, if you don't hate Dain after reading this book, please rethink your actions. There were moments I wanted to physically enter the book and hit him. I liked Violet, but I know a gentleman who recently begged to disagree with this, and omg what is he? Probably a puppy murderer, and as soon, as fucking soon, as he said that he hated Violet, I started hating her myself. But, I like her. And Xaden? Don't even get me started. I am ugh, I don't know. The dragons are great. The flying lion chickens are lame. The other things (the ones you know I'm talking about if you read the book, but hopefully you don't if you didn't) were really coo...
