16. Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli (5/5)
• I loved the movie but I enjoyed the book more!
• I found the story fun and enjoyable to read. I love the interactions between the characters and I absolutely adored Jacques and Blue.
  
17. Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli (4/5)
    • I enjoyed this but I didn't really love it. I loved the friendship between the characters though.
    • I did not like Leah as the main character. She kind of annoyed me.
    • I found the love story cute but the ending felt kind of rushed.
    • The highlight of this for me is still the romance between Jacques and Blue.
      
18. All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover (4.8/5)
• I loved the story. The issues were more adult compared to her other books but it still breaks your heart just the same.
• The events that happened were too realistic which made it more heartbreaking. 
• It hurt to see the difference between the past interactions and the present interactions of the characters.
• So many things to think about a relationship that you can probably relate to (I know I did).
  
19. Hopeless by Colleen Hoover (4.8/5)
    • This is the most fucked up book I've read by Colleen Hoover. 
    • The beginning started out normal but after you reach a certain point, you would get an intense roller coaster of emotions. So many twists and turns.
    • I liked the relationship of the lead characters but I do think that their development was quite fast.
      
20. Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover (3.9/5)
    • The love story between the lead characters were okay. Nothing amazing but it was fun to read. Their interactions were funny but there were some things that were fucked up.
      
21. A Deeper Love by Cassandra Clare (4/5)
    • Interesting story but not really important. 
    • I liked that we got to see Jem and Tessa together but for some reason I really didn't like the timing.
    • I liked seeing Catarina and Jem telling her about something that's important to her made me happy.
      
      
22. PJO: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan (5/5) 
23. PJO: The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan (5/5)
24. PJO: The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan (5/5)
25. PJO: The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan (5/5)
26. PJO: The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan (5/5)
    • For the review about the whole Percy Jackson and the Olympian Series, just refer here.
    • I loved rereading Rick Riordan's PJO series again. I had fun reading about Percy and his adventures.
    • I loved this even from the first book. It was an interesting introduction to the world of Greek Myth.
    • Percy Jackson is one of the most interesting main character from a book series and it was fun reading from his point of view again. I loved his interactions with the different characters and his love for his family.
      
27. City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab (4.25/5)
    • It was such a simple and short read but I enjoyed it. I found Victoria Schwab's beautiful and her writing of this story was quite intriguing and creepy.
      
28. HoO: The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan (4.5/5)
    • This followed the same formula as the first series but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did with PJO which is probably because I don't really like Jason as a main character. He was kind of boring to be honest.
    • I still enjoyed the story from this book and how it played out though.  The adventures were still on point.
      
29. The Wicked Ones by Cassandra Clare (4.5/5)
    • This was such an interesting and intriguing story. We got to see Jace's mother - Celine Montclaire. I liked reading from her point of view even though we know things don't end well for her. We get to see her connection to Valentine and their weird bond.
    • I liked that it was set in Paris. I loved Cassie's writing about Paris.
      
30. Two Dark Reigns by Kendare Blake (4/5)
    • The story was still interesting but nothing amazing happens. 
    • It was kind of confusing seeing different point of views in different places and you don't really know who to cheer for because things aren't as clear as they used too.
    • The revelation here was kind of messed up. It made you hope hard.
      
31. The Alchemyst by Michael Scott (4/5)
    • The pacing was a bit slow but the book was mainly okay. I was just not pushed to continue the series but I still may.
    • I love the interconnection between the different mythologies of different cultures. It was amazing how Michael wove them together.
    • The twins character were a little weak that's why I wasn't really impressed.
      
32. The Land I Lost by Cassandra Clare (5/5)
    • This is the best story in the Ghosts of the Shadow Market Anthology. 
    • I loved seeing Alec in all his glory. I loved seeing his interactions with the downworlders and with his family. I loved that we got the story of how he met Rafe.
      
33. Through Blood, Through Fire by Cassandra Clare (5/5)
    • I loved this story because we got to see the main point of Jem's trip to the Shadowhunter Markets. 
    • It was interesting to see the reason why the Kit's bloodline is so important.
    • Also, that reveal! Omg I did not see that coming but I loved it so much. It made me want to scream out loud in the office.
      
34. Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare (4.5/5)
    • So many good things that happened but there were also things that you would question as to why it was needed in the book. 
    • So many heartbreaking things. Especially on the first pages.
    • I had an issue on how easy things came to be in the end. There was not really a consequence on the major things that left me questioning them.
    • The Cohort annoyed the hell out of me. They were just so stupid.
    • I still really didn't connect with Julian and Emma as the lead that's why this didn't beat Clockwork Princess or City of Heavenly Fire for me. Also, it was kind of not really an end book.
      
35. Vengeful by VE Schwab (3.8/5)
    
    • I really did not feel the need for this second book. The main story was just repetitive of the first one that it kind of bored me. 
    • The timeline in this one kind of confused me and there were characters that was added that felt like they were just there to make things longer and complicated but they were really irrelevant.
    • I liked that we got to see more EO's though.
    
    
36. Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor (4.8/5)
    • This is not as beautiful and amazing as Strange the Dreamer but it was still a masterpiece. 
    • I loved seeing the story unfold and things resolve itself. There were still many shocking things to see. 
    • I love the implication that this world may be connected to the world in Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
      
37. What If It's Us By Becky Albertalli and Adam Silver (3.7/5)
    • The story was interesting. I liked how things unfolded but I really didn't feel the chemistry between the lead characters. They were cute together but I enjoyed them more as friends which was kind of disappointing because I felt that it wasn't what the story was selling.
    • I loved Dylan and Samantha's romance though. They were really cute together.
