pickI really enjoyed this book however I am going to say it‘s more of a guilty pleasure like as I feel like the book came across rather sexist. But it‘s written by a women so I kinda feel like there was a point behind it which I‘ve missed. The book follows a women who gets dumped on a live TV show along with 6 others where after they remain in a big brother style house to compete in challenges for a prize of Q9M.
I gave this book 5 stars ✨

I finished this book a couple of days ago. Sorry I‘m so slow with my reviews and stats I‘ve just been focusing so much on my booktok account which you can find on tiktok at LissysLittleLibrary. I‘m almost at 800 followers on there in under a month. Review for this book on the post to follow

pickThis was such a fun, deeper-than-you‘d-imagine story! I‘ve been enjoying reality shows since Covid began (it‘s my escape!) and this was a sort of behind the scenes look into what living in a reality house and having every aspect of your life scrutinized and made fun of would really be like. It also has a great feministic theme running through it about being whole as yourself and being true to who you really are and not pretending to be anyone 👇🏻
My July 2021 #bookspinbingo list! I‘m doing it early because we‘re leaving early Saturday morning for a week long vacation at a cabin in Georgia and I‘ve got to work tomorrow and do all the packing when I get home. All I‘ve managed to pack so far are car snacks and a big tote bag full of books 🤦🏼♀️.
pickThis book made my blood boil at times and my inner feminist well and truly come out, however it is a good read and well worth sticking with it until the end
pickThis was so good!
Amy‘s boyfriend packs her off to a tv studio to take part in The Shelf, a tv show where women are promptly dumped then shoved in a Big Brother style house to take lessons on how to be a better partner and be crowned “The Keeper”.
This is a great book that explores feminism, sisterhood & learning how to love yourself.
It was one of those books which took me by surprise a bit. The characters are great and I love its message.
Lunch and a book! What could be better?
Tuna Nicoise with a homemade honey Dijon dressing which I must say is beaut! (That‘s rare for me because I‘m usually a disaster in the kitchen unless I‘m baking).
Enjoying this book so far, the situation the MC is in is ridiculous, but purposefully so.
PS I‘ve just set up a dedicated book twitter if anyone wants to follow. I‘ll follow back! https://twitter.com/lovetoreadlive1
My partner has been making some preparations in anticipation of me eventually moving in with him. One shelf for him, two for me, for my short-term TBR pile. When he‘s cleared one of bedrooms, we‘ll be getting some bookcases for all my other books!
pickIf there is a book that should end up being turned into a movie then this book should be. We‘ve all watched some form of reality TV shows like Big Brother. You may or may not like them, but I think this book beats them hands down! I found this book to be so funny with a few cringe worthy moments. I just couldn‘t put it down.
My Rating: 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
