this book was such a treat
the first book to be five stars to me and make my cry when I finished it in a really long time. I never wanted it to end.

From reading reviews this seems to be a super polarizing book and tbh the first 30 or so pages I was thinking I would hate this lol. The writing style is a little overly ornate and I’m not usually a fan of British media or detective stories but GOD... this book!! :(
MEDDLING KIDS by edgar cantero

sometimes you just have to read lovecraftian AU scooby doo fanfic w/ canon lesbians and just have fun as a form of self care

if you overlook some of the more on the nose points in the beginning of this book and just let it take you there, this is a really fun book w really great monsters and really great characters!! I had so much fun wtf!
OK after sleeping on it I think I’d knock meddling kids to 3.5 stars + for people thinking abt picking it up: there’s a few moments that could definitely be read as transphobic. I feel like I’ve been kind of recommending it to people and I don’t want it upsetting anyone
I’m going to start making playlists for 3+ star books bc. I want to! Here’s things in jars: https://open.spotify.com/user/morganmarvel/playlist/20NBmxhXnMRLEcvyWgWcIs?si=631iofGyTRmNtQFfP-Eo7g

Guilty pleasure trash escapism! I always love classics reimaged with high schoolers. Riddled w too many weird references + veered into “how do you do fellow kids” territory too much - but I also got misty eyed @ the end so??

Quick, fun read but for a book clearly inspired by fleetwood mac it somehow felt tame / a little boring at times. Definitely excited for the show tho 0:

NORSE MYTHOLOGY by neil gaiman
★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆
a decent intro to Norse myth if you know little about it, but ultimately really unfulfilling

THE WITCHES OF NEW YORK by ami mckay
★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
GORGEOUS writing and clearly such a care and love for both the gilded age and paganism but with characters that felt too flat to rate this higher

i need to update this thread badly but my list of 2020 books really just proves i have the mind of a simple bird.... i see a bright color.... i add it to my cart
so! i've decided to not update this thread unless i really liked the book i just finished. partially because i just had like an 8 book stretch of "okay"s and partially because authors/agents/etc interacted w a few tweets and i need to reign in my potential to be bitchy
that being said.... i just finished the library of legends by janie chang (which comes out next month!) and i'm really at a loss for what to say other than it was amazing and i'll be thinking about it for a very long time
