It takes a very talented author to take such an interesting topic, like going to hell and back, and turn it into a boring book. Dante managed it so I don't know what I thought R.F. Kuang could do any different. She did a worse job than Dante if I’m being honest because at least with Inferno I was learning something.

Ready Player One is like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but with a video game/ virtual reality: find the golden egg and inherit the creator's game.

I felt like this book was written with the intention of making it into a film, which it has been.

I found it quite fun and fast paced but a bit predictable and cliche.

A sapphic, space romance written by the author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, what's not to love? Quite a bit actually.

A gorgeous gothic tale.

Ever since Lana Del Rey released this poetry collection, I've been putting off reading it. One of the reasons was out of a fear that I would hate it and it would taint my opinion of her. I've recently realised that was silly, just because I don't love everything she releases doesn't mean anything. Of course she has songs I don't like but I don't hold them against her and if I didn't like this book then why would I hold that against her?

Another reason not to read or listened to her book, is then I would've listened to everything Lana Del Rey has officially released. I'd never be able to hold her book in my mind as something I can read at a future time. It's a silly reason. Lana Del Rey isn't an artist who rarely releases things but it's something I've been able to think for so long, that I've always got more of her work I can appreciate at a later date. I don't have that anymore.

Violets bent backwards over the grass is such an intimate book. I loved listening to Lana talk, as if directly to me, through her life and experiences. You can never truly know an artist but I have a new understanding of her now. Even though I didn't enjoy all of her poems, I got something from each of them and found it very beautiful. I’m glad I waited until now because maybe at an earlier time in my life, I wouldn't have appreciated them as much. "All of this circumnavigating the earth, was to get back to my life. Six trips to the moon for my poetry to arise"
