Welcome to Litsy!

I went into it expecting nothing and it was still disappointing. The story was dragging on for the first 250 pages with nothing happening and then picked up in the last 50 pages.

I couldn't care about the characters. I thought there'd be more magical elements or some sort of explanation for the magic diary. But that was just ignored. The whole book felt like it was trying to delve into some deeper meaning but completely failed.

This reads a bit like a fairy tale (evil aunt, ruined castle, magic diary, mysterious neighbor, secret garden) but IMO it doesn't lean in to that enough so that it's hard to place it in a genre box. Often that's intriguing but not this time. This wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't special.

Tamara and her mother must relocate to the countryside and the mystery, complete with a castle, a nun, a villain, family secrets, and a dash of magical realism, ensues.

Okay so this is a book where I saw a pretty cover and picked it up. I wasn‘t disappointed though. It was magical. Mysterious. And fun. Great read.

This book is good for a light reading for drama lovers, nice plot but it could have been much more interesting. Needless to say I love this cover 🥰😍 and beautiful flowers from my garden🌸🌸

I have only this one near to #fuschia 🙈

I liked the concept of this riches to rags story with a touch of Irish magical realism, but it just took too long for the story to gel. After finishing I didn‘t care about some characters who received a pile of attention while her diary (the magic piece) didn‘t get enough focus.

Unexpected random bookhaul!!! 😍😍😍

Hands down, my favourite Cecilia Ahern book. Always has been my favourite author, and her books are nothing short of magic. This book in particular is phenomenally filled to the brim with magic.

Tamara Goodwin, spoiled and ignorant uncovers shocking secrets with the help of a peculiar book about her past after the death of her father whom she barely knew. This book is an exciting tale of young girl who is forced into penury with a surprise awaiting at the corner of each page. A must read for fiction-drama lovers.

I did it! I managed to read 24 hours with two hours left (I‘m in Australia and did it according to my time zone). I‘m happy! And can‘t wait to keep on reading, more than what I have been. It‘s been great. #24in48

Just finished my third book and am now onto my fourth book. I‘ve done 19 hours of reading and have 5 more left! Good luck to me! #24in48

So, I've read Cecelia Ahern before. Generally, I like her style. Usually an easy read with likeable characters and lots of emotion. The Book of Tomorrow checks all of these boxes - family tragedy, several.... central character trying to connect with family.... lush surroundings.... a mystery to uncover....

It's alright, but not as well crafted as some of her others.

Have now passed on to my friend for her holiday read. Share the book love!

Imagine finding a diary, in your own handwriting, with tomorrow‘s entry already filled in...

I shouldn't really be buying anymore books, but I went in several charity shops during my lunch break today and got these three for £2.50 😁📚

Everything Cecelia Ahern writes is #somethingmagical to me. #riotgrams

I'm not sure if this is just a thing that I do but it seems like whenever I listen to an audio book read by someone with an accent I will think in that accent for a little while after I listen to it. I've tired to explain this to people that don't listen to audio books but they just don't understand.

Does anyone else do this?

Ich mochte die Wortkesse Protagonistin aber inhaltlich konnte es mich leider nicht so überzeugen. Ein leeres Tagebuch was dir heute schreibt was morgen geschieht. Irgendwie passte dieser Mix aus Roman- mystisch nicht zusammen.

Gerade als ebook im Angebot, da konnt ich nicht nein sagen 😍

After some deep reads, I decided to coast a little. I picked this book because it promised magic. Ahearn writes well, and the plot was compelling enough to keep me going, but there was kind of a major thing that was never explained. Which really bugged me. Hence the so-so rating.
