this post is MY roman empire as it took that long to put together, but here they are: the 42 books i’ve rated 5 stars & some mini synopses / my thoughts on them! 💫

the tragic thing is that i rated a book 5 stars the other day so now it’s 43…..but we’re ignoring that for the sake of aesthetics and so every book fits

i would like to think i am quite picky with the books i rate 5 stars, but my criteria can change. sometimes a book will be 5 stars as it’s an objective literary masterpiece, but sometimes i give a book 5 stars for the vibes & because it was fun. yes i am vast i contain multitudes etc.

let me know if you’ve read any of these & what you thought, or if any are on your tbr 📖

[full reviews for most of these are on my goodreads. also this was inspired by my fave @ellereadsomebooks ofc] by @lbh.reads

some hyper-specific summer book recommendations.

one thing about me is that i love a book set in the summer, especially when the heat feels sticky and claustrophobic. have you read any of these / want to?
