I do not own Sailor Moon. It is owned by Naoko Takeuchi.   1. Sailor Moon: A book that makes you hungry.  Several! I am a huge foodie so I read a lot of books centered around food. Two that come to mind are A Banh Mi for Two by Trinity Nguyen and  The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich  by Deya Muniz.  2. Sailor Mercury: A book that features science and technology. Two that come to mind are both by Margaret Peterson Haddix: Double Identity and Turnabout .  3. Sailor Venus: A book that makes you want to play video games. Bye Forever I Guess by Jodi Meadows.    4. Sailor Mars: A book inspired by mythology and folklore. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin. 5.

  There weren't many books that I gave a low rating, but there are waaaay more books that I DNF (did not finish). I guess you can consider this an unpopular opinions post. Luckily tomorrow I will post the best books of the year which includes new favorites! Worst Books (all 2 stars): 1. Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch 2. To All the Boys I Loved Before by Jenny Han 3. Magic for Marigold by LM Montgomery I decided this year to split the DNF list into 3 categories. From books I thought were boring,  books I thought were bad, and nonfiction books that were actually pretty interesting, but made their points very early on and could've been shortened down.  Here are the books I DNF because I found them boring/couldn't get into them: 1. Heartstopper Volume 5 by Alice Oseman 2. To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf 3. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson 4. Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth 5. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott 6. Rickety Stitch Volume 1 by Ben Costa a...

I will have links to their reviews if applicable. I DNF'd a total of 30 books last year. But it was worth it. Life is too short to read things you don't like/find boring.
