Originally, my goal was 50 books, but since I started reading graphic novels and short non-fictions, why not 60?

Book 1.
3,75 stars. I read this when I was on a vacation in Bali. I don't know whether I love it or just like it, but I enjoy it a lot. I have the sequel, and probably I'm going to read it at the end of the year.
Book 2.
5 stars. First Leigh Bardugo's book I've ever read. I love everything in it. I laughed, I grinned, I gasped, I cried. I love it. Will read her other books soon.
Book 3.
4,5 stars This was amazing. I love Luc and his stupid shirts. The romance made my heart goes all giddy. I'm reading the sequel now.
Book 4.
4,25 stars. My feminist self love this. I mean, a group of badass and diverse female pirates? *chef's kiss*
Book 5.
4 stars. I read this at school, isolating myself from people. It was kind of worth it. The cover's cool. I love the inside as well.
Book 6.
4,75 stars. I love the plot. I love my bi Prince Quin. I have the sequel and I'm planning to read it next month?
Book 7.
3,75 stars. This was a guilty pleasure read. I was never interested in Bully High School Romance or Reverse Harem, and this was both. I enjoyed it, but I don't think I'll continue the series.
Book 8.
5 stars. Perfection. It was a refreshing read. I'm surprised this book is so underrated. I love it so much, I might re-read it someday, when I finish at least 25% of my to-be-read list that is.
Book 9.
4,5 stars. I bought this from a bazaar because I like the cover, but I don't know what it is about. When I found out that it is a Rapunzel retellings but the heroine is blind, but still so fierce, and there are also monsters? I finished this for only two sitting. The romance was great. But, I have no interest on reading the sequel.
Book 10.
4,75 stars. I love this so much. It was a fun, quick read. The romance was cute. Cohen is cute.
Book 11.
5 stars. This was the best paranormal romance I've read? It was action-packed, funny, intense. The main romance was kind of insta-lovey but it was unique. I've never read one like it. Rachel Vincent got herself a new fan. I will read the sequel real soon.
Book 12.
4,25 stars. I love One of Us is Lying, and when I heard this book, I know I was going to love it. And I do. The escape room idea is pulling me in to read this book, and I'm glad I did.
Book 13.
4,5 stars. I love it, but not that much? Maybe it's because it took me so long to finish this, and that is because I was with my cousins all the time, so I'm not thoroughly focused on this book. It was not as dark as I thought it would be. I love the Shadow King though.
Book 14.
3,75 stars. I enjoyed it. It was cute. But I don't think I love it.
Book 15.
4,5 stars. I pulled an all-nighter just for this book, and it was worth it. I love it. Jason and Olive was just so cute.
Book 16.
3,75 stars. First try on horror book. There were scary moments but it didn't scare me that much. I was going to give 3,5 stars, but seeing how the story was told is just cool, I add a 0,25.
Book 17.
3,25 stars. Meh, I don't find the love interests attractive at all. The heist idea was cool, the influence idea was cool, but I don't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
Book 18.
4 stars. Finished this in like 6 hours. I love it, but I don't think I'm going to read the sequel.
Book 19.
4,75 stars. I DNF this back in 2018, and I started all over again. I did not regret it. That worm fighting scene still gets me everytime. I love Feyre, I love Rhysand, I love Lucien. I love the book. But Tamlin? Nah.
Book 20.
4,25 stars. I love it. Great romance. But it's not enough to be my favorite.
Book 21.
4,75 stars. Second book by Tricia Levenseller that I've read, and I enjoyed this way much better than The Shadows Between Us. The Vikings + Romance idea was captivating. I love the heroine. I love the romances. It's action-packed too, which made me love it even more.
Book 22.
5 stars. Infinity stars, if possible. ACOTAR walked, so ACOMAF could run. Ugh, this book is everything. I have no words.
Book 23.
3,5 stars. I like it. It was good, with great action scenes and nice romance. But I feel like it was bland. I'm not going to read the rest of the series.
Book 24.
5 stars. Why didn't I pick this up sooner? It was so intriguing. I relate to Audrey Rose, and I shamelessly fancy Thomas Cresswell. I love it, I love it, I love it. I'm reading the second book of this series next.
Book 25.
4,5 stars. First graphic novel I've read. I. Love. It. It was adorable.
Book 26.
4,25 stars. I love this too. Sadly, it was too short. But it's adorable nonetheless.
Book 27.
4,25 stars. A kick-ass graphic novel. It was action-packed ans gory, I love it. The artwork was amazing and richly detailed, the colors are just *heart eyes*
Book 28.
5 stars. I was grinning so hard reading this. I can't believe I had doubts before going into this one. Lowkey shipping Nicholas and Seiji.
Book 29.
5 stars. It was so addictive. I pulled an all-nighter to read this. I had to. So worth it. My thought to Nicholas and Seiji was ugh, can you make out already?
Book 30.
5 stars. Perfection. Best Graphic Novel I've read so far. I can't wait for Fence: Rivals. It's not even a month until it releases, Nora, be patient. This will always has a special place in my heart. Ugh, I can't.
Book 31.
4,5 stars I haven't read Heartstopper: Volume One yet, but as this is based on Detroit: Become Human, I won't get spoiled anything. I played the game and I'm still completely obsessed with it. And this one was adorable. I love it. Especially the times when Nick blushed blue. (Yeah, android's blood are blue). Anyways, I'm still squealing over part two.
Book 32.
3,25 stars. I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Even though this is the lowest book I've ever rated, it was still adorable nonetheless. Deja's face and her dimples were the only reasons I could finish this book, she was just *uwu*.
Book 33.
3,75 stars. I love Marvel, and when I saw this, I knew I had to read it. Personally, I don't know exactly everything from the Marvel Universe, as I don't watch every movies, and this is the first Marvel comic that I read. That explains why I was confused in certain parts, but overall I enjoyed it. It was a fun read. Oh, and America Chavez is so badass? Ugh, I love her.
Book 34.
4 stars. I bought this when I stayed in London last fall, along with the book below (Book 35) because I was bored. I don't really have someone that I feel wholly comfortable to rage and vent to, so I usually just go to this book. It doesn't do much since it's not an actual person, but still it helps me feel a bit better.
Book 35
3,5 stars. Oof, book 35 and 3,5 stars. I didn't really know why I bought this when I could just use Google Translate, but my friend bought it too, so why not? After reading the whole book, I got rather disappointed of the content.
Book 36
5 stars. We Should All Read This. This is an essay, which shocks me because it doesn't feel like it. It was compelling and conversational-toned. I love this so much, even though it's short and only an introduction.
Book 37.
4,5 stars. First poetry books I've read and I love it. It was Breathtaking, captivating, enthralling. And the fairytale and goddesses themes are my favorites.
Book 38.
3,25 stars. I like the Choose Your Own Adventure or Personality Quiz idea of the book. I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would.
Book 39.
4,5 stars, I went into this without knowing anything. It was better than what I expected. I love the colors, the artwork. It also has mystery in it and so much #girlpower.
Book 40.
4,75 stars. Despite the hitting-enter-after-every-word thing, it was so raw, so hurting, so emotional and empowering. It was about self-love and self-respect, how to be strong and unapologetic. I love it.
Book 41.
3,25 stars. The premise pulled me into this book. It was cool, but I was confused most times. I wasn't focusing much, I have too lot on my mind. Oof.
Book 42.
3,75 stars. I'm going to put aside the fact that the title has nothing to do with the story. This is my first romantic suspense read, and I enjoy it. It was action-packed, but somehow I was bored in the middle and did not read it for two days. Then, I finally picked it up again and finished it. Yay. I have nothing to say about the romance.
Book 43.
5 stars. I finally picked this up, and boy, was it awesome. I wonder how my stupid butt waited for a month to actually read this. The plot was so intriguing, and it was action-packed, with a little romance. The writing is just . . . I'm in love. Iron to Iron, and Blood for Blood, here I come.
Book 44.
4,75 stars. A new favorite. It was really long, but good thing the chapters were short and it was fast-paced. Ugh, I love Anaïs.
Book 45.
4,5 stars. Fun, fun, fun. The diversity is amazing. The colors and artwork are amazing. Really am looking forward to read The Avant-Guards, Vol. 2.
Book 46.
4,5 stars. I was hesitant to pick this up at first, and eventually I went into it not knowing anything else other than that this graphic novel contains gaming. I had low expectations, and I'm still shocked that I enjoyed this so much.
Book 47.
3,75 stars. The second poetry book by Nikita Gill that I've read. And this one I read whilst listening to Sleeping At Last's songs. Beautiful.
Book 48.
3,25 stars. I don't know how I was bored with this, yet I kept reading and managed to finish this in 3 hours. It was okay. The romance didn't connect with me and the political intrigue didn't interest me that much. Not looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy either.
Book 49.
5 stars. Everyone need to read this. When I saw some of my favorite actresses (such as Saoirse Ronan, Jameela Jamil, Karen Gillan, and others) contributed in this book, I knew I had to read this. I did not expect this to have poetry and history of feminism as well.
