BOOKS READ

George by Alex Gino

Goodreads

I started by reading the last 165 pages of George. It was such a sweet and heart-warming story. I’m glad it exists! I really liked the characters and the plot had a good pace! I would recommend this and I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

Autoboyography by Christina Lauren

Goodreads

This was a lovely story, but a very heart-breaking one at the same time. I liked the characters as they were very realistic. The religion part was done well in my opinion. The book discussed some of the faults of the LDS religion, but did so respectfully. The novel didn’t bash religion and I appreciated that. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

Blue Is The Warmest Color by Julie Maroh

Goodreads

I really liked this graphic novel, but I can’t really explain why. It just hit me. I liked the art style and its use of colour. I would definitely recommend this! I gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan

Goodreads

There are several stories intertwined in the book; some I liked, some I didn’t. I think the narration by the generation of gay men who died of AIDS added a lot to the story. I didn’t know about it going in, but I liked it. It’s part of what made the novel so heart-breaking at times. Overall I’m happy I’ve read this and I gave it 3.5 to 4 out of 5 stars.

Odette Toulemonde et autres histoires by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

Goodreads

Lastly I also started this book of short stories. It’s required reading for me and I only got 14 pages into it. Nonetheless, I’m counting it as it takes a lot more effort for me to read in French.
