Dramapuppy | 195 comments 60. The Night Parade by Ronald Malfi
Rating: Two stars
Reason for reading: Premise

Dramapuppy | 195 comments 61. Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
Rating: Four stars
Reason for reading: Author
Mini Review: This book effectively communicates what it feels like to live with OCD. Unfortunately, I already live with OCD, so it was just kind of stressful.

Dramapuppy | 195 comments 62. Annihilation (Southern Reach, #1) by Jeff VanderMeer
Rating: Two stars
Reason for reading: Upcoming film
Mini Review: So boring. And there's no way the author will be able to explain this concept in the next books. It makes no sense.

Dramapuppy | 195 comments 64. Red Rising (Red Rising, #1) by Pierce Brown
Rating: One star
Reason for reading: Popularity
Mini Review: Why does everyone like this? I'm guessing its main fanbase is adults who think they're too good for The Hunger Games.
