Fond memories of Mrs. Dalloway. Read it when I was studying abroad in London and the class went on a walking tour that followed Mrs. Dalloway’s path through London that she takes in the book.

Mrs. Dalloway is such a gem. I loved it so much. That's true though, this book requires 100% focus to understand the narration smoothly. A room of one's own by her is really good for beginners who want to venture into her writing

O’Brien (dystopian/a bit of romance) - The Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera (Thought-provoking/moving/romance/LGBTQ+)

I have about 75 more videos to watch before I get to the end of your videos, can you believe it? I may just watch them all before I go to California. I'm hoping to get through them all before my mom comes at the end of this month. I think I can make it happen, so I am very excited about it. Can't wait for this to come... I think I'm gonna stop here for today, though, because I've been watching Pris and Jade on sprints for some time now and I don't wanna stop on an uneven number (or it's always uneven but you know what I mean... 20 or 25 is better than 21 or 27... for my brain... lol) I will definitely be back tomorrow and will be working on as many videos as possible so that I can get to the last one before the next video on Thursday. Not sure I can do this, though. Maybe I can finish before Sunday, but maybe not Thursday. We'll see... Have a good evening and night. Can't wait for tomorrow! LOL

The Grace Year (Kim Liggett) was my favorite June read. YA dystopian that has Handmaid's Tale meets Lord of the Flies meets Hunger Game vibes. Definitely a dark read but has a lot of female empowerment, "pull another woman up" messaging in it. Good on audiobook as well! Close second was Miracle Creek (Angie Kim). This one was a mystery/thriller based around a fire that broke out in a hyperbariac oxygen chamber killing two people and injuring more. Lots of tough topics addressed here like raising handicapped children, living with autism, being an immigrant parent, dealing with infertility in a marriage, and more.

I think you're onto something there with your criticism of ADOSM. I think Schwab writes some characters amazingly in her other works, but I feel like there's always a few characters that feel... a little flat or off in her stories. (Can't speak for ADOSM as I have not read it and don't really intend to.) That said I still enjoy her writing a lot.
