Where do I even begin? Honestly, I feel like my words aren‘t gonna do justice to how good this book is. I think the main reason why I was so invested in it was because of the way it was written. The plot itself had me glued to the book for hours

I thought writing was really good! I guess I can say I enjoyed reading it because of its compelling characters but I don‘t consider it as a favorite.
Each chapter seems to be a part of Ove‘s character and personality. I got to know him better as soon as I got deeper into the book. Heartwarming, sad, and definitely a good recommendable bookclub read as well.

America doesn‘t wanna be selected at all, she is content with her caste, her family, and Aspen. Until she unexpectedly gets to be part of the Selection. New adventure awaits her but is this what she really wants?
I finished this read in a day and solved the mystery! Woot woot. It was an easy one, the kind you could predict. The book is written from a third person perspective. It begins with the death of Joey and later on moves back and forth in time to explain the relation of his death to Lydia. For me, it was a slow paced one but the kind of slow paced read that won‘t lead you to a book slump. A 3.5 for me! Have a happy Sunday bookworms!

This had such a good plot but sadly it didn‘t work for me. 🙈😭 Full review is up on my blog.
“Never assume,” my dad once told me. “To assume makes an “ass” out of ‘u‘ and ‘me‘” - CJ Tudor, The Chalk Man .
It kinda reminded me of IT where a band of misfit kids biking around and dealing with bullies which then gets a lead to a dead body. The writing style wasn‘t confusing even if it was the kind of novel that switches between the past and present. A 3.8/5 🌟 for me. I would definitely recommend it.
I find this book enjoyable, charming, and an enticing read. I was drawn in by people‘s lives in the book especially the family drama. Revealing family secrets, ending relationships, showing a person's struggles to seek forgiveness, hope, and most especially, having the strength and patience amidst the consecutive unfortunate events comes a novel about Margaret‘s life.

Although it has comic and humor, I find the story sad too. Eleanor has been a loner and has suffered from abusive relationships as well. But what I mostly enjoyed reading was her character development, from struggling as a social misfit and dealing her issues with Mummy it‘s amazing to see her positive and determined to change despite everything that‘s happened to her. It‘s so well written and I recommend it wholeheartedly. ♥️

Ahhh this book has such a good cover unfortunately it didn‘t work for me.
I‘m always a sucker for CoHo‘s book so I had high expectations for this one. But it was okay.. It brings a different vibe from her usual books. Love the twins‘ relationship though. And yes, I do recommend it especially if you‘re a huge CoHo fan like me. Her books are always worth to read.
Our first book pic for our bookclub. Beautifully tragic, I must say. I had such an insightful reading experience with this book.
I definitely enjoyed reading this book by Elif Shafak. It showcases Peri‘s life from childhood to being a mother. She was raised by parents with different views on their religion until she meets two women in Uni Mona the religious, and Shirin the rebellious one. It‘s a story about Peri‘s journey to identity herself and faith. Definitely recommending it.

This is probably one of the best horror stories I‘ve read. Definitely recommending it to you!
I‘m more than halfway through and definitely enjoying it!

Finished this book last night and it was heartbreakingly good. It tackles racism, love, family, and equity which I find highly relevant especially with the current state of the world we live in right now. Definitely recommending it! ✅

Beautifully written by Donna Tartt. The attention to detail is wow! Very engrossing.. I think my favorite part were the last few pages of the book where Donna tackles more on art and philosophy. I like that stuff. 2 weeks, 864 pages. What a journey it has been. I must say, I did have a good reading experience overall.

Sofia skips University to take care of her hypochondriac mother. They visit a well known "shaman" in Spain for the treatment. Series of events happens which makes Sofia learn more about herself. It is a beautifully written coming of age story that doesn't only portray love in family and relationships but also learning to identify oneself amidst the daily muddles of life. I had a good reading experience with this one.
I realized I haven't posted much on this app. So I decided to post one.

The recent book I've read is Ashley Poston's "Geekerella" which I finished at 1:30 in the morning. Haha! It was a cheesy/cute read. It is a modern way of re-telling Cinderella. It has definitely exceeded its book covers. Good way to remind us never to judge a book by its cover.

If you're up for cute, romantic and cheesy reads. You might like this! ???
Definitely following this new dystopian series!! Highly recommending it to everyoen!! You won't regret it. ♥️♥️♥️
I still have a few chapters left to read and I'm highly recommending this already!!! I'm so hooked! Full review soon! 🤗📚😊👍🏼💕
I'm 163 pages deep in this book. The premise is interesting but it's taking me a while to get into it. I guess I expected a lot considering it was one of the most recommended books but regardless I'm still gonna continue reading it. 😊✨💕

Are born in a glen,
Sweet little triplets
Will never be friends

All fair to be seen,
Two to devour
And one to be Queen"
