This is a list of the books I've read this year, with a few of my thoughts on each.

The Last Graduate
Naomi Novik |
The second Scholomance book did not disappoint! I liked it better than the first because it had less distracting exposition. The main character was very realistic considering she was in a magic book. I loved her relationships, her personal doubts and frustrations, and the depiction of privilege and politics in the book. Despite seeing such a tiny slice of the population in the form of wizard kids getting their education, you really get the feeling that there's an incredibly fleshed out world out there. |

Loveless
Alice Oseman |
People have said they wanted my opinion on this book since it's mainstream fiction and has an asexual, aromantic protagonist. Happy to say it didn't disappoint me, and even though I didn't particularly relate to the protagonist's experience, I did think it's relatable enough that plenty of people will get some validation from it that they hadn't before--especially if they thought they couldn't be ace or aro because they like fiction about relationships and looked forward to falling in love someday. |
