Got my new BOTM box and I'm trying to decide which book I should read first: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia or Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein (I'm saving Normal People for a day when I'm feeling moody, haha). What do you think?

Short Reviews of Books I Read Last Weekend
5 STARS: This book made me laugh harder than any book in the past couple years. THE LAUGHS WERE SO UNEXPECTED THAT I SNORTED. Before WNTY, I knew that Irby's essays were popular but didn't know enough about them. Her takes on culture and social phenomena are so fresh and amusing. It was a joy to read - I am a lifelong fan now. This book also got me interested in reading more essay compilations in the near future.
2.75 STARS (let’s round it up to 3 for Goodreads’ sake): I DNF’ed this one 22% of the way in. I wasn’t relating to the characters at all and didn’t find the mystery compelling. A lot of the characters fit tropes common to YA historical fiction: the bookworm/studious daughter, popular/pretty daughter, misfit love interest, strict maternal figure, etc. Although I was interested in the setting, I have read more interesting books about the Gilded Age. Even though I DNF’ed it, I am hesitant to give it one or two stars because I may have just caught this book at the wrong time. I would be interested in reading it again in case my tastes change.
4.75 STARS (let’s round it up to 5!): I loved this book and read it in one sitting on a Saturday night (this seems like a less pathetic statement now that everyone’s cooped inside because of the ‘Rona). I did not foresee most of the twists. The characters felt super realistic to me even though the two disappearances we follow throughout the book are sensationalized, in line with other books in the domestic thriller genre. The authors’ thoughts on certain social dynamics are not necessarily new to this genre and that’s why it’s not a perfect 5 star read for me. However, this is a super entertaining read that I highly recommend.
I'm back again...and I'm reading An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green.
I'm not obsessed with it, but this book is pretty entertaining and provides you with some (I imagine because of it's author) realistic insight on 21st century fame.
