Hi everyone! How are you? 😀
For my reviews I will write them in topics that I like and didn’t like in that book but instead for the things I like will be “Marvels” and for the things I don’t like will be “Oddities”.
Why marvels and oddities? It is inspired in one of my favorite books of all time named “Love from A to Z” and in that book the characters wrote the marvels and oddities of everything in their lives.
Today I want to share the marvels and oddities of “Love and other natural disasters” by Misa Sugiura.

Hi everyone! How are you? 😀
Even through we are already in May I still want to post my review of my favorite books of 2022.
Today review it will be about the book “Instructions for Dancing” by Nicola Yoon.
TW: death, grief, infidelity, abandonment, child death
Evie Thomas doesn’t believe in love anymore. Especially after the strangest thing occurs one otherwise ordinary afternoon: She witnesses a couple kiss and is overcome with a vision of how their romance began… and how it will end. After all, even the greatest love stories end with a broken heart, eventually.
As Evie tries to understand why this is happening, she finds herself at La Brea Dance Studio, learning to waltz, fox-trot, and tango with a boy named X. X is everything that Evie is not: adventurous, passionate, daring. His philosophy is to say yes to everything – including entering a ballroom dance competition with a girl he’s only just met.
Falling for X is definitely not what Evie had in mind. If her visions of heartbreak have taught her anything, it’s that no one escapes love unscathed. But as she and X dance around and toward each other, Evie is forced to question all she thought she knew about life and love. In the end, is love worth the risk?

Even through we are already in May I still want to post my review of my favorite books of 2022.
Today review it will be about the book “The Cost of Knowing” by Brittney Morris.
TW: racism, gun violence, hate crime, grief, mental illness, death of a loved one, anxiety, mass shooting
Sixteen-year-old Alex Rufus is trying his best. He tries to be the best employee he can be at the local ice cream shop; the best boyfriend he can be to his amazing girlfriend, Talia; the best protector he can be over his little brother, Isaiah. But as much as Alex tries, he often comes up short.
It’s hard to for him to be present when every time he touches an object or person, Alex sees into its future. When he touches a scoop, he has a vision of him using it to scoop ice cream. When he touches his car, he sees it years from now, totaled and underwater. When he touches Talia, he sees them at the precipice of breaking up, and that terrifies him. Alex feels these visions are a curse, distracting him, making him anxious and unable to live an ordinary life.
And when Alex touches a photo that gives him a vision of his brother’s imminent death, everything changes.
With Alex now in a race against time, death, and circumstances, he and Isaiah must grapple with their past, their future, and what it means to be a young Black man in America in the present.

Even through we are already in May I still want to post my review of my favorite books of 2022.
Today review it will be about the book “Felix Ever After” by Kacen Callender.
TW: transphobia, deadnaming, bullying, homophobia, outing, hate crime, drug use, racism, emotional abuse, gaslighting, body shaming, mental illness…
Felix Love has never been in love — and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many — Black, queer, and transgender — to ever get his own happily-ever-after.
When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages—after publicly posting Felix’s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned—Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What he didn’t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi–love triangle…
But as he navigates his complicated feelings, Felix begins a journey of questioning and self-discovery that helps redefine his most important relationship: how he feels about himself.
