2025:

• Open Throat (☆☆☆☆☆)
  • wow. i don’t even know what to say. Just that if i forget how this book made me feel, i must promise myself to read it again. i’m still crying. this book feels really personal to me for many reasons.
• There's No Treason without Tea(☆☆)
  • ok the rating is harsher than usual, but i just could NOT get into this book. i loved all the concepts promised, but it didn't deliver. in other words: i hate high fantasy, but i was promised low stakes cozy fantasy which it was NOT.
• Pure O OCD
  • i dont usually rate self help type books. this was informative to me as someone with pure-o ocd. recommend for others!

  • i really hated learning how octopuses come to the aquarium and how inhumane it is... aka : the octopus hyperfixation to vegan pipeline...
