I read the perks of being a wallflower. I really enjoyed it. I was a bit iffy in the beginning, but I pushed through because I loved the movie growing up and it was worth it. Love Charlie <3

I dnf'd it :( Idk what it was, but I couldn't focus on it and I kind of don't like the main character

‘Under the whispering door’ follows a ghost of a man who dies in the beginning of the book. He is then taken to this Tea shop where there’s a ferryman to help him pass into wherever (upstairs or downstairs lol). It’s a really good story about understanding grief and acceptance. It’s a bit hard to get into and there’s a slow spot in the middle, but overall I’ve loved this book since I read back in 2022, and I can’t stop thinking about. The epilogue and acknowledgements made me tear up. ‘Carrie’ is just a Stephen King classic. It’s based on this girl named Carrie and her life in high school, with bullies and her very religious mother. The books shifts from two different timelines, before the events of prom and after. It’s crazy, but I love it lol. I’m not doing either of these to justice at describing them, but hopefully it makes sense.
I’ve read ‘The fault in our stars’ I wasn’t a huge fan, but I can see why many people enjoy that book. I also never read anything by Lyn Painter. How is ‘better than the movies’?

Mine is definitely 'Under the Whispering door' by TJ Klune and 'Carrie' by Stephen King
