Rowan's Bookshelf (Carleigh) is 33% done with I Killed Zoe Spanos
Really really loving it so far, the mystery is very interesting and how she goes about learning about it is cool too. She's so intertwined with everything but learning it from an outsiders perspective.
Though I do call at around 10% that the body they found was not Zoe's

Jack and Jill as the villians is killing my oh my gooooddddd
The pacing is starting to really ramp up, some parts seem to be skipped over all together and explained quickly later. But I also don't need to see every single detail of what happens so I don't really mind

Too bad the gays are shoved to the side characters :( Mallow and Tansy don't really have a lot of character, or much to do in the plot besides provide more numbers. A bit disappointed
I like how Z is learning that he can be a good man without following the law though. He has morals and lines, but still wants to do right

Neptune!! Is baby!!
I'm really liking what they're doing with Sun, though it wasn't entirely hinted at in tbe main show. CFVY is also great now that they're completely a cohesive unit and family, I can't wait for SSSN to work things out too
The plot is actually really interesting, better than the first. I like that we're back at school while doing these missions, it feels more like the Beacon days :)

Rowan's Bookshelf (Carleigh) is 40% done with The Good Luck Girls (The Good Luck Girls, #1)
I'm really liking where everything is going. The premise is horrifying, but the world as it's slowly being built is really cool. People without shadows, ghosts and spirits being a regular danger, the very western atmosphere as girls take up the role of outlaws and bandits. It's really cool, though Aster and Violet are the ones with a lot of character. Diversity also awesome, can't wait for the gays

Rowan's Bookshelf (Carleigh) is on page 128 of 176 of Fierce Fairytales: Poems and Stories to Stir Your Soul
Great for people who really find comfort in being told their strong. Very very vengeful against cruel men, there are almost no stories where men are not straight up evil - only one so far denouncing toxic masculinity. Very little room for interpretation, and most parts I wouldn't really call poetry rather than extremely short stories. Still powerful imagery and good messages filled with buzzwords rather than advice

Starting to feel pretentious, and the system is sort of confusing. They don't really explain who Kronos or Gaia is, or why this has to happen. Part of it is uncovering the mystery, but I don't really know what they KNOW already.

Interesting concept but really doesn't explain much. You're thrown into it and expected to figure it out. The enforcement of the rules they set up seem to be strange too, idk what and what not they get in trouble for

Rowan's Bookshelf (Carleigh) is 60% done with Ahsoka (Star Wars)
SHES SUPER GAY AND WITH KDIN THEYRE NOT EVEN BEING SUBTLE I LOVE IT
and the worlds and people they introduce are really interesting. I feel how Ahsoka is afraid to really settle anywhere bc the empire is growing near and near everywhere she goes. I hope the conflict with the little force sensitive girl is explored more too

It's going to annoy me how often they call her poisonous when she's venemous lol
But I love the world they've created, the palaces and divs and holidays. Pacing is very fast but I'm excited to see where it goes

I don't really get Rico at all, his main goal is just to be a dickhead to his old ex who obviously is having trouble in her life. I'm way more interested in Ashna and Shobi relationship

The book club aspect has been pretty much dropped after around 25%. It feels like this is written more like in the 60s with how the black characters act and are treated. But nice callbacks to Dracula and slow breaking down the wants of housewives

Lesbians are very very good and I wish the whole thing was just about them and not this boring mystery dealing with politics that aren't explained very well
