"Look, this kind of restraint is hard for me..." Same same same, though, I might have to get extremely used to it, as I'm not sure I can write long posts anymore. (Will people still read my reviews if they are 1-2 sentences? BUT HOW can I write reviews that are ONLY 1-2 sentences?)

I'm proud of you for doing what you need, no matter the length of your posts. I hope that goes without saying, but I'm saying it anyway.

Thank you, Sarah! It's a process, and I feel you! And to answer your rhetorical question, of course I would read your 1-2 sentence reviews! As for how to write them...I'll get back to you.😂

I love that you are trying new fun approaches. I could write a whole essay on writing more concisely, but then it would be an essay and not a comment.

Haha, I know the feeling! Writing concisely is definitely not something I really aspire to. But this was a lot of fun to do.

I really want to know what #1 is! (And #2 and #7, but I found those in answers to another commenter). Thank you for this fun!

I'm glad you enjoyed! #1 is Bad Indians by Deborah A. Miranda which I can't recommend highly enough.

I feel like I need to add #s 2, 4, 7 to my TBR. At least! Please spoil the titles haha

Haha with pleasure! #2 is The Fifth Wound by Aurora Mattia, which is one of the weirdest books I've ever read. #4 is Bad Habit by Alana Portero, which is out next week and incredible! And #7 is She of the Mountains by Vivek Shrayra.

I recently read She of the Mountains and was blown away by it. I didn’t guess the title from your blurb but I completely agree with what you said.

It's so good! I'm glad you loved it too.

Thank you!! I even already have Bad Habit and She of the Mountains on my TBR but the way you wrote about them got me even more excited to acquire them.

Yay! Both so so good.

Is #9 Hijab Butch Blues? (Or maybe When They Call You a Terrorist?)
