Book 8 of 2020 👍👍 Finished January 17 Omg I loved it. Literally read in one sitting. (If I was feeling brave, I'd tell you that this is the kind of novel I'd like to write one day 🙈) #Bookstagram #Reading #Book #Review #BookChallenge #BookDiary #5StarRead #ItSoundedBetterInMyHead #NinaKenwood #TextPublishing #YA #AusLit #LoveOzYA #FinishingHighSchool #BestFriends #Romance #OppositesAttract #PCOS #TheWheelerCentre #TheMoat #TheNextBigThing #Melbourne #January #JMbooklist #JMbooklist2020

Book 7 of 2020 👍 Finished January 17 It seems like the characters are just younger versions of the characterizations of themselves that the authors play on their YouTube channel #JustBetweenUs so if you're a fan, you'll probably enjoy this too. Basically, two very different personalities who are negotiating their start at college and their changing friendship, through email/texts/etc. Fun and quick read. #Bookstagram #Reading #Book #Review #BookChallenge #BookDiary #IHateEveryoneButYou #GabyDunn #AlisonRaskin #YA #Friendship #Relationships #QueerLit #MentalHealth #OCD #OwnVoices #Feminism #LGBTQIAplus #Women #Library #SupportYourLibrary #January #JMbooklist #JMbooklist2020

Book 6 of 2020 👍 Finished January 16 Definitely for younger YA readers (upper primary to early high school) but even so, felt a little unsubtle and in your face with themes etc at times. Very excellent to have a diverse #OwnVoices story, with a cute and wholesome storyline and a very fun and sweet protagonist. #Bookstagram #Reading #Book #Review #BookChallenge #BookDiary #YouMustBeLayla #YassminAbdelMagied #YA #AusLit #LoveOzYA #WomenInSTEM #STEM #Bullying #ChangingSchools #Friendship #Muslim #Sudanese #HighSchool #Library #SupportYourLibrary #January #JMbooklist #JMbooklist2020

Book 5 of 2020 👍 Finished January 15 This book honestly just made me sad and kind of empty. I guess it ends on a somewhat hopeful note, but it's pretty ambiguous. (CN: parent death, homophobia, transphobia, conversion program, self harm) #bookstagram #reading #book #review #BookChallenge #BookDiary #TheMiseducationOfCameronPost #EmilyMDanforth #ya #queerlit #OwnVoices #LGBTQIAplus #library #SupportYourLibrary #cafe #melbourne #january #JMbooklist #JMbooklist2020

Book 4 of 2020 👍 Finished January 11 Overall I did like it (...and he's totally shading J P*terson et al with the 'rational scholars' plot point here right?) but a few issues that gave me pause and/or were flat out icky: - the professor being 'in love' with a (for a time) student he's known since she was a baby, even with the 'explainers' or justifications in the text. - there was a sexual assault/attempted rape scene that seemed completely unnecessary. Always sick of female characters having to deal with an experience like this as a plot point 🙄 - there definitely felt like some lowkey white saviourism/appropriation/othering going on throughout. (A lot of people's reviews on goodreads explain these in more detail/more articulately then I feel like doing here) ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯ #bookstagram #reading #book #review #BookChallenge #BookDiary #TheBookOfDust #TheLostCommonwealth #PhilipPullman #ya #mystery #adventure #fantasy #library #SupportYourLibrary #cafe #melbourne #january #JMbooklist #JMbooklist2020
