Reviews:



- The Astonishing Colour of After by Emily X. R. Pan - Oh my god, this story was just so beautiful! So moving, heartbreaking, and completely wonderful!
- The Beast's Heart by Leife Shallcross - This was such a disappointment. Nothing. Happened. For so many chapters. I was just so bored. Not a great retelling, in my opinion.
- I Stop Somewhere by T. E. Carter- Oh my god, this book is absolutely incredible. It is a very difficult read, very harrowing, but so powerful and so important.
- Ramadan Readathon 2018: My TBR Pile - Self-explanatory; the Ramadan Readathon is back for another year, so I've listed the books I plan on reading for the month.

All the books here are new to me. The cover for The Beast's Heart caught my eye. Too bad that it's not a good retelling...
