I just finished A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin and OMG she is alive!

A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, #3)A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can't believe I finished reading A Storm of Swords! 😮

First of all, this was the longest book I have read in my life so far. 1177 pages. It was absolutely worth it!

OMG, the ending!! If you have only watched the series but have not read the books you are not prepared for the last paragraph in this book!

I watched the series first, so as I progressed on the book series I noticed the differences, and sometimes I was very shocked.

(Oh my god she is alive! 😱)

I love how much more magic the books have compared to the series. (Coldhands 😲)

My favorite povs: Daenerys, Jon, and Arya.

The writing is beautiful, I am happy that I took the time to read this series. I know there may never be an ending to A Song of Ice and Fire, but the experience these books provide is unique and worth every minute invested. I can't wait to read the next book.

“I crossed a thousand leagues to come to you, and lost the best part of me along the way. Don't tell me to leave.”

I just finished reading The Forsaken Planet by Bryan Wilson and it was fun!

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
