    This was a nice, non-serious palette cleanser book with low stakes and the magic of friendship. Especially with sentient plants

  • How many books do you read at the same time?

    Hi guysss,I'm curious how many books do you read at the same time? One or more? Bc I can't read more than one book at time(unless I don't have to read a book for school too) but I know some people that can read 3 books at the same time!

    This was fun! It was a nice breather after some heavier books. I love a book that places organizational mundanity into fanciful landscapes!

    This was a fun read and a nice, not graphic and horrible mystery.

    The motives were a little unconvincing but it was fun

    This book was pretty predictable and honestly preachy. Not that the messaging is bad, just heavy handed and not my taste.

    I did not enjoy this. I read it to get my sparkly badge for the read a long and if not for that it probably would have been a DNF.

    The writing is good, don’t get me wrong, the style of the prose is purposeful. I just didn’t enjoy reading it.

    There honestly isn’t much plot. You don’t really get to know many characters beyond very surface level. There are details around processing and more that feel gratuitous and purely for shock and horror without adding anything.

    There are definitely themes that can get conversations started around the role of capitalism, propaganda, and human rights which is why it gets a higher rating.

    I will probably have nightmares now.

    I think I realized what it is about the writing style that is different. It’s all simple present tense. He does thing. He does that. This happened.

    I don’t know if it’s a translation thing or not. I don’t know if I like it.
