Finally read A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. This has been on my TBR since 2016 😂 (is it just me or am I normal). Unfortunately, this was just an okay read for me - I gave it a 3 star on goodreads. This book is a historical/contemporary fiction I would say. I love reading Nao‘s diary. The writing and description is wonderful, I‘m truly devastated with what she has been through. However, Ruth part is just boring and monotonous.

5 🌟 I absolutely love this! My previous two by this author was also a 5 stars read, so I‘m not suprised that I loved this book so much. This is a historical fiction that tells a story during WWII, particularly on the event during the evacuation of German refugees on a ship named Wilhelm Gustloff. We follow multiple points of view and I love each of the characters so much. The story is so heartbreaking and gut wrenching. Have you read this book?

4 stars 🌟 I read this book alongside with the audiobook, and it‘s amazing! I heard a lot of people praising the audiobook because of the full cast for every character, and the hype is real you guys. However, I‘m not sure if I‘m liking the story format. Have you read this book? What are your thoughts? 💭 P/S: My favourite character is Karen.

2 ⭐️ This is a YA Dystopia that has a point of view from a 16 years old girl. In this world, all 16 years old girl will be sent to the outskirt to live by themselves - in order to banish “the magic” in them. There are a lot of things that happened in this book that showed oppression towards women. I expect it will be resolved by the main character, but nope 🙄 Couldn‘t connect to the characters at all. Would not recommend.

Hello! I‘m currently reading this YA Romance by Gayle Forman. 150 pages in but I‘m getting bored with this book. Should I DNF it? If you have read it, is it worth it to continue? Let me know your thoughts 💭

4 🌟 This book is so scary I have trouble sleeping at night! It‘s a story about a haunted house that lure victim into their house every 9 years. It start in 1979 until 2015, so there is 5 different stories in it but it‘s all related to one another. The vibe is really creepy like I‘m watching a horror movie 😭 But the story is really good! Have you read this book? What are your thoughts?

Just finished The Kiss Quotient today and I‘m absolutely in love with this book! 5 stars 🌟 After the last page, I feel like starting all over it again 😍 This book is about the love story between Stella, who has asperger syndrome and struggling with her social life, with Michael who happens to be the perfect “escort” for Stella in practicing her social skills. I love both characters so much! Have you read this books? What are your thoughts? 💭

War of Hearts is Samantha Young‘s first paranormal romance, written under her pen name; S. Young. I gave this book 3 stars. It started strong with so many actions and adrenaline rush scene, but the other half of the book was just meh for me. If you are into Paranormal Romance, you can try it. If you have read this book, what are your thoughts 💭? Any Paranormal Romance book you would like to recommend?

3.5 🌟 Love the writing style, but can‘t connect with Evelyn, the main character. Any of you has the same experience with me?

I‘m halfway through this book, and so far loving it. I‘m expecting to read a light story however the content is much more serious than what the title illustrates. Have you read this book? What are your thoughts? 💭

4🌟 entirely because of the mind blown plot twist! 🤯 This is a psychological thriller about a psychotherapist and his patient who refuse to talk after she killed her husband. He is trying to know why she did it. Knocked off 1 star because it was hard to get into for the first few chapters. Have you read this? What are your thoughts? 💭

This is my second book by Colleen Hoover and now I want to read all of her books. November 9 is a romance story between two people, who promises to meet only on this date for 5 years until they are 23 years old. The story that happened in this book was told only on this date, so it is very interesting as you can see how their lives changes every year, and how their character grow. If romance is your thing then please try it 📚💕

3.5 stars 🌟 Buddy read this with my sister! I enjoyed this book so much. However I feel like it is unnecessary long & the ending is meh. I guess I expect a different kind of ending. But I still enjoy Simon and Baz story in this book. Have you read this book? What are your thoughts? 💭

I finished Devil‘s Place by Brian Gomez. My friend lend me this book, saying it is one of his favourite. It is about a man named Terry who got involved in a terorrist conspirancy, as a result from his friend hiring a hooker for him. It is ridiculously funny and thrilling! I love it. Have you read this book? What are your thoughts?

3.5 stars ⭐️ Took me a month to finish it because I‘m in a reading slump ☹️ Any tips on how to get rid of it?

DNF at 50% 😭 After struggling for a month trying to get into this book, I give up. The writing style is so good but the storyline is so slow and boring, urgh I can‘t take it anymore. Maybe this book is not for me. Have you read this one? What are your thoughts? 📚💞

3/5 stars. The story is very sad, I cried like crazy reading it. However, I have issues when the author keep mocking someone appearance and disability. It is unnecessary & pointless. At first I thought it is because the main character is 17 years old when the story happened, but then I remembered that the narrator is himself when he is 57 years old. Anyway, apart from that, the storyline is great!

Finished this and it is the most depressing book I have ever read. Like seriously asdfghjkl depressing! I don‘t know how to describe it though because this book give me pains, anger and annoyance all at the same time! This book was told from a first point of view; a girl that has been raped by her brother‘s best friend. It‘s all about the aftermath - for 4 years before the girl realise she has to do something about it. 3⭐️ for this one.

My current read. I love her other book - Nightingale so much, I decided to pick this one up. I‘m on page 300/391. The first 30% is quite slow, but it‘s getting interesting as it goes. This book is about two sisters learning about their mother‘s past from the fairy tales story told by her. It alternates between the real world & the fairy tales world. I can‘t wait to know the ending. Have you read this? What are your thoughts?

Creepiest book I have ever read! Finished this few days ago and I gave it 5 stars. This is a story about a woman who is living in this apocalyptic world where you can‘t look outside because people are seeing something that kills them. Nobody know what it is because nobody has lived to say what they saw. Definitely pick this one up if you are into a creepy and eerie story. Have you read this? What are your thoughts? #birdbox #joshmalerman 📚💕

Happy book birthday to one of my favourite author! Samantha Young is releasing a new book in the Play On series - As Dust Dances. It is a story about Skylar Finch, a singer & Killian O‘Dea, her label A&R Executive. If you are into forbidden romance story, this book is for you! I loved Skylar & Killian story, the romance is beautifully emotional 💕 If you have read this, what are your thoughts?

No doubt this is the best book I‘ve read this year. I can‘t put it down at all! Being in Josie Morraine world is so amazing, I‘m hangover by it. My favourite character would be Willie. She is so amazing I hope she exist in real life. Have you read this one?

Received an ARC for this. Can‘t wait to start it after I finish my current read! 😍

3🌟 from me. A good short read about a girl who has Asperger syndrome and recently lost her brother in a school shooting. 1st POV from the girl so it was a really interesting read. 📚💕

“Books had been her solace when she was sad; her friends when she was lonely. They had mended her heart when it was broken, and encouraged her to hope when she was down.” 💕

New read 😌

I listened to the audiobook, read by the author. Some of the poem is definitely relatable. I can sense that this book is very personal to the author, that is something that makes the book powerful. Especially the feminism message that this book carry, I love it.

“how is it so easy for you
to be kind to people he asked

milk and honey dripped
from my lips as i answered

cause people have not
been kind to me”

My first adult thriller! Have you read this? If you have, what‘s your thoughts on it? I‘m hundred pages in now and I think it‘s quite interesting.

It was just okay for me. I hope the third book will be better!

Finished this book today. Inspirational book coming from an acid attack survivor - Katie Piper who was attacked by her psycho ex-boyfriend using sulfuric acid. The aftermath was horrendous. By reading this book, it gave me a glimpse inside the head of a burn / disfigurement victim. Hopefully this will increase my empathy, or benefits me in any way. 📚💓

Received these two as a birthday gift 💝 Can‘t wait to read it! Anyone else into NA genre?

“Everyone has scars, Tenley. If we're lucky, they're only on the outside.”

This book is so inspirational. I gave it 5 stars in goodreads, and it deserve a place on my favourite shelf!

Written by Randy Pausch, a Professor who diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It was based on his talk The Last Lecture in Carnegie Mellon University.

This book inspire me to appreciate life and keep being positive 💕

“as much as one might desire change, one has to be willing to take a risk, to free-fall, to fail, and that you‘ve got to let go of the past”

Finished this book last night. I enjoyed reading Harold‘s ups and downs journey, although I found some part is unnecessary.

He also warn me that even if I was in a position of strength, whether at work or in a relationship, I had to play fair. “Just because you‘re in the driver‘s seat,” he‘d say, “doesn‘t mean you have to run people over.”

My new read 📖🌸

Poetry book by Gerard Manley Hopkins. I collect this Penguin Black Classics, currently owning book 01 - 07. Anyone else collect it? 😄

"Love opens us up and we start to feel our pain." #bookquote ?

Started this book 11 months ago and I'm only 67% done with it. I'm so not good with self-help books 🙈

One of my 2017 read.

"There are no refunds and no exchanges with love. It comes with flaws and imperfections. It's raw, unfiltered, and sometimes it isn't easy. But I've found the best things in this life are the ones I've had to work hardest for." ❤️
