    I think the perfect book for you would be We can be heroes by Kyrie McCauley. It's devastating and beautiful and has friendship and grief at its core. It's about two "kind of" freinds putting away their differences to revenge the death of their mutual best friend, who was killed by a school shooting. The twist is that the mutual friend is actually a ghost and they can speak to her.

    So glad you said that about not so pure and simple because I recently got that book! And adding Tokyo ever after to my tbr because I’ve seen so many pleasantly surprised reviews lately. The Anthropocene reviewed is on my tbr as well! Even if I have struggled with John green fiction in the past.

    I recently read This Is Not The Jess Show and I wanted to share my thoughts being I first heard about it on your channel. I really enjoyed it, I thought it was fun. I felt that some of the characters were underexplored but still interesting, the twists were pretty obvious and the ending felt a little disappointing but overall it was fun and a fast read too.

    Why is it we always have more books on the TBR than we have time?? If some one were to ask if I like murder mysteries, my answer would be "NO." However, every time I read one I get really invested in it. The latest is "The Hive" by Gregg Olsen. It's really a good read, and if you're looking for something different, I recommend it.

    Gideon the Ninth put me in a skeleton mood. I recognise it is a weird thing to say, but it also did. I read it earlier this month, and it took me a while to get into it. Even though from the beginning I saw it had so many strengths, especially with the world building, and there was intrigue but I didn't actually get into it until part 4, which was like the second last part. But there was almost a manic energy to it which I really enjoyed, and since finishing this book I want the sequel, but I haven't got it yet, but I also want skeletons and necromancy and resurrection, which I am sad to say isn't in many of my books. I have finally sat down to reread the bone witch, because I read it and loved it and just never read the sequel which I brought, so I am rereading the first to read the second. I also decided after reading Gideon the Ninth that I will make a death section on my bookshelf including my nonfiction on death, and my fiction books involving ghosts and spirits, resurrection, necromancy, afterlives, and reapers! Also a few poetry collections I have (Japanese Death Poems edited by Yoel Hoffman, and Tea with Death by Abigail Wildes). I've been wanting to do this for a while but I didn't know where on my shelf to put it, and I was trying to work out what kind of books I would include. I now know.

    I felt similarly about The Ones We're Meant to Find. I was so excited about that read, but all the sciency stuff left me so confused. I was also really bummed because I kept hearing about the big plot twist only for it to be what I jokingly guessed about like two pages into the book (without spoiling, I guessed the basic idea of the twist, although not the context and explanation of how and why the twist existed).

    Reading things by touching them - that immediatly reminded me of the Mirror Visitor by Christelle Dabos. The story was so amazing that I read the four volumes of the series in next to no time although I' m more often than not a person who struggles with finishing serieses. (The third volume of the original Grisha Verse is still waiting on the shelf, next to the last volumes of the Throne of Glass series and the Angel Fall series... But at least I know I'm in good company...😉)
