The Spellshop Cover

The Spellshop - Sarah Beth Durst

★★★☆☆
I didn't like this book at first, and I put it down after only about 20%. I initially found the main characters very annoying and their negativity frustrated me. I picked it back up and tried it again, and I ended up liking it anyway. I didn't love it, I felt the romance went way too quick and the chemistry wasn't really there to me. The overall vibe was very nice though, and it is exactly what I expected: a simple cozy romantasy that you can turn your brain off for.

Pageboy Cover

Pageboy - Elliot Page

★★★★☆
A very touching and relatable memoir about what it's like to grow up queer and closeted, and finding yourself, learning to accept yourself, and slowly turning into who you feel you truly are over time.
As a trans man myself I could find myself relating a lot to Elliot Page's story. Though I never could have imagined the difficulties of being queer as a public figure. I feel this book gave me a bit more insight into that experience.
