Night Sky with Exit WoundsNight Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fantastic experience.

I am a huge fan of Ocean Vuong's work. The way he works with language and its relation with the body fascinates me every time I get through his writing.

Every poem was worth starting over as soon as it was finished.

Five stars!

I read The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski My rating: 4 of 5 stars 4.5 stars. I loved this book way more than I expected. Before reading it, my only experience with The Witcher was watching my boyfriend play the games. I personally never played much, I only started the first one, but it didn't go through. I never considered the amount of humor in this series, which was a spectacular reading experience. Each short story made us more and more familiar with Geralt, and in the end, I couldn't help but want to read the next book in the series. Also, I am interested in playing the games now since I feel familiar with the characters. I ended up reading this one for being recommended as one of the best series of High Fantasy, and as far as book one goes, it stands for it. View all my reviews

I read The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker

The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker My rating: 5 of 5 stars I absolutely love the Hellraiser movie franchise and Clive Barker as an artist, so it was very easy for me to love this book as well. I have recently read Piranesi and have been in awe of books that, although super short, still have such a developed universe. It's the type of book I wish I could write myself someday. The novella was short, and I wish we had more time with the Cenobites. I will definitely be progressing to the comic books to see more of The Order of the Gash! Easy 5 stars. View all my reviews

I read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and it was super cozy!

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book was aimed to be cozy, and it really did a wonderful job. 🤗 I really enjoyed the fantasy and world-building aspect of this book. 🧙🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️ The romance was notoriously boring, but everything else was a lot of fun. I do have to say that a smut scene in the middle of so much cuteness made me feel a little violated! 😳 This book made me feel like eating scones with cream and jam for the first time in years, which was great. 🍰🍵 Also, this book contains one of the cutest fictional dogs ever! Mika's dog, Circe, is literally described as annoyingly well-behaved!! What else do you want? 🤗 I was going to give 3 starts, but just because of the dog, this went to 4 starts. 🐕 Cheers! 🎉 View all my reviews
