  Hamnet

  I finished this a week ago and some feelings and thoughts I had while reading are still with me, somehow making it harder to write a review. I did not expect to love this book so much. I adored the overly flowery language, the metaphors and descriptions. I loved Agnes being described as a weird, witchy girl, not fitting into this world of the 16th century and her brother, understanding her like no one else can. And I apprectiated the famous playwright not being mentioned by his name once. The grief the family has to live through was so, so heartbreaking and still makes me feel way too much. I’ll definitely remember this book.

  Atmosphere

  I want to say so much about this book that I don’t even know where to start! So I’ll just keep ist short - I loved everything about it, the setting, the characters, the way the story was build and the end that had me just sitting there, tears in my eyes, because I 100% thought it’s going to end the way I thought it would. TJR just has a special way of writing that is somehow so mesmerizing and at this point, I’d read anything by her. ❤

  Yesteryear

  I was faszinated from the start and this story about a "traditonal", "good christian" woman who became an influencer, showing her perfect life, farm and family to the angry women online didn't let me go once. I love how we slowly get to see Natalies ugly sides. From the start she's not very likeable but it get much worse the more we get to know her, her family, in-laws and everyone else involved. It's an absolute trainwreck and I loved it so much. Might be one of my Highlights of 2026! Oh and that twist? Brilliant!

  Dungeon Crawler Carl

  Damn. Matt Dinniman made me read a whole LitRPG from start to finish for the first time ever and I even want more! I tried before but stuff was never as captivating as this one. Could or could not be because of Grand Champion, Breed Winner Regional, National Winner Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk (a talking persian cat). Or the savage things the AI said or Carl himself. In the end, it was just the mix of everything! Such a great, awesome read and I enjoyed all of it. I love the mix of silliness and seriousness that makes you keep reading, to find out what actually is going on because it seems there is way more behind this Show.

  Witchcraft for Wayward Girls

  Witchcraft for Wayward Girls is about teenage girls becoming mothers and then going back to being teenage girls. But it also is about revenge, finding out that the world can be very unfair, that sometimes you have to give up your own wishes in order to help someone and... just so much more then Witchcraft. I loved, loved loved this so much! Hendrix wrote a book that made me squirm, laugh and get so, so angry, all alongside with the girls. God, how angry I was with how the girls were treated, not just by the male doctors but also female nurses. And to think that places like this existed. There is so much happening that it's hard to put it all together into 1 or 2 sentences but if you love weird horror, getting angry at society and sticking together trough good and bad times, then this book might be for you.

  The Song of Achilles

  I must say, I was a bit sceptic at first. Retellings sometimes add fictional things to them and I’m not a big fan of that. But this one is wonderful. There is no “nonsense” , you can tell Madeline Miller knows her stuff. And not just that, Miller’s writing is so, so beautiful. Altough I knew how the story would end, it didn’t make it less sad. I think I’ll have to add this to my favorite books. I loved everything about it! For everyone whon is a fan of greek mythology, wonderful words and love.

  The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store

  It all starts in 1972 with a corpse found at the bottom of a well. But who was this person and how did it get there in the first place? What starts as some kind of murder mystery will become a much deeper story about the community of Chicken Hill in the 1930s, where immigrant jews and african americans share what they have, live together and try to understand each others struggles. When I started reading this novel, I did not know what to expect, since I went into it kind of blindly. But what I got was a beautifully written story with many different characters, all connected in some way or another, love, humor, suspense but also unjustice. I was sometimes wondering where all the different strands and stories will go, but James McBride did an amazing job in bringing it all together so that it all makes sense in the end. I can wholeheartedly recommend this novel. It was the first one of this year and I will definitely remember it!

  Convenience Store Woman

  This was a very interesting read. As Keiko sees herself more as a conveniece store worker then a human, she struggles to understand all the fuss about having kids and a career and all that. Maybe, she thinks, Shiraha can help, as he is looking for a wife anyways, so that society will leave him alone as a married man. Shiraha, her former Coworker, can only be described as an Incel, in my opinion, and I disliked him so much! I was genuienly worried for Keiko wehn she let him move in with her. The mix of those two people was definitely something else, but so riveting to read! I feel I could say so much more about this book and discuss it in great detail but all I will say for now is, it’s a fascinating book with a thought-provoking content, even if it’s so short.

  Hart, C: Quicksilver

  I qiuckly got so hooked by this book, the worlds, all the Characters and of course Kingfisher! Finally, there is a Romantasy story where spice isn’t overwhelming everything else, where things happen that really made me fear for but also celebrate the accomplishments of the characters (except for Daya, please die soon, thank you.) We have humans, faes, vampires, witches and probably even more otherworldy creatures. Kingfisher’s story is just as thrilling as Saeris’ and it was great to see him slowly open up to her. The story is a bit dark sometimes with the feeling of impending doom, so having Carrion as a comic relief was a good idea and very well balanced. I was often so surprised by the plot and never had the feeling of needing a break and I cannot wait for the second book!! If you love a growling Fae with shadow powers, the Enemies to Lovers trope paired with Fated Mates, you should not miss this one! ✨

  A Little Life

  The story follows Jude and his 3 friends Willen, Malcolm and JB throughout their college years and later lifes, where at some point, the 3 recognize that they know very little about Jude’s past, only that he has no parents and something is wrong with his legs. Jude himself doesn’t want to share his past, and he has very good reasons for this. But page after page the readers will learn about it and his struggles he is facing now, his demons and how he sees himself. It’s not an easy journey, not at all, but worth every page. When I read this novel, so many things were going through my mind, and sometimes, when I had put it aside for a few days, Jude and his companions were still lingering somewhere in my mind. It’s full of heart wrenching moments, but also hopeful. I loved how the author was able to describe the complicated feelings humans can have, frustrations, emotions and all kinds of love towards each other. This book will rip your heart out, put it back in and cover the wound with a small bandaid in the most beautiful way.
