Call Me by Your Name Review
Aciman really knows how to paint summer in Italy; you can almost smell the peaches. Elio and Oliver feel real, awkward, and honest. The slow pace isn't for everyone, but the emotion hit me right in the chest.

The Nightingale Review
The Nightingale book swept me into a world of birdsong and bravery. With every page, I heard both the whistles and the worries, and sometimes got pecked by emotions I didn’t see coming. Not perfect, but real and moving.

The Dresden Files Review
Jim Butcher writes magic and mayhem like no one else. Harry Dresden is a wizard I'd trust with my coffee order. The Chicago setting feels alive, and the humor kept me grinning, even when demons showed up uninvited.

Atmosphere Review
Taylor Jenkins Reid writes like she’s gossiping with you over coffee. Her stories hook you quick, with real people and messy love. Sometimes the endings feel rushed, but man, those characters stay in your head like catchy tunes.

The Big Fat Middle School Math Workbook Review
The notebook book made our math nights wild! Some problems had us scratching our heads, but most got big laughs. Great mix of challenge and fun, though a few answers needed more explaining. Still, kept us entertained and thinking.

Shatter Me Series 6-Book Box Set Review
Juliette starts off scared of her own shadow, but ends up tossing cars and hearts around like confetti. The writing is wild, the love triangles messy, and the angst level? Off the charts. Dystopia’s never looked so personal.
