Hi! I'm Sage and I read books as a way out of the real world and as a way to find myself :) I primarily read MG and YA books with LGBTQ+ rep. Fantasy, mystery, and romance are my favorite genres.

    Maximillian Fly Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.75 or (8.9/10) Characters - 8 Atmosphere - 9 Writing - 10 Plot - 8 Intrigue - 10 Logic - 8 Enjoyment - 9 This book surpassed my original expectations when I first started listening to it because it was amazing! I loved the narration, the multi-POV, the mystery, and the suspense. I was so intrigued by the book that I wished I had it in physical form or as an e-book. But I do think the audiobook helped nail the mystery and suspense. And there was so many "wow" moments. I appreciated how the book helps the reader to make connections and how relatable the characters were. And there were very real and deep elements to the book that was surprising, but great to see in MG books :)

    Project Nought Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.25 or (8.3/10) Characters - 8 Atmosphere - 9 Writing - 8 Plot - 8 Intrigue - 9 Logic - 8 Enjoyment - 8 This book was very intriguing and there were definitely parts where I was like "Wow! Was not expecting that" which I enjoyed :) The characters were cute, but they brought out some important points to think about. And I feel like the the issues in the book represent real issues IRL, which I also appreciated! I loved the art and overall, this was a sweet book 💖

    A Silent Voice, Volume 4 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ or (8.1/10) Characters - 7 Atmosphere - 8 Writing - 8 Plot - 7 Intrigue - 7 Logic - 7 Enjoyment - 7 Not as exciting as the others and honestly, quite heartbreaking to be honest. But it was still a great book and it touched how on the flaws of people and why certain people act the way they do :)

    Not Quite A Ghost Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 or (8.6/10) Characters - 8 Atmosphere - 9 Writing - 9 Plot - 8 Intrigue - 9 Logic - 8 Enjoyment - 9 I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I would! The chronic illness rep was amazing, especially with how it showed most doctors today treat people who have them, especially young people. I also liked how the book showed the value of true friendship and that sometimes you have to leave behind friendships and people who don't want to stay in your life or care about you in the way that they should. The paranormal/horror part could have been carried out more but it is middle grade and it was still delivered well so that's why this book is getting 4.5 stars from me! 💖

    A Silent Voice, Volume 1 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ or (7.7/10) Characters - 7 Atmosphere - 8 Writing - 8 Plot - 8 Intrigue - 8 Logic - 7 Enjoyment - 8 This story was simple and interesting, but also very real. So definitely realistic fiction and a slice of life style. It was funny at first and then got sad and real quickly. The MMC feels understandable to an extent, but needs to make some serious changes and fix things. I'm interested in learning more about the FMC because I want to see how she really feels. I also love the art style and I'm definitely excited to continue the series! ❤️
