Watch Over Me 5⭐️
This book is a contemporary gothic story with a touch of magical realism. It‘s all about grief, mental health & learning to face your demons—literal & figurative. Nina LaCour is the queen of crafting stories that are as heartbreaking as they are healing. She nails it here again. 👇

This book is an intriguing exploration of grief. While it‘s marketed as humor, I personally didn‘t find it all that funny. It still has a charm to it. The author took a highly original approach to presenting themes of loss and healing.
The interactions between Alice & Ben, the unusual circumstances of their annual meetings, are very heartfelt & I enjoyed reading through them. It felt very authentic and touching.

This book is a thought-provoking exploration of humanity, technology & the blurred lines between the two. The relationship between Liv & Breck is compelling. The self-awareness journey had me questioning the ethics of AI & what it truly means to be “real.” The pacing is intense. The countdown to the contest‘s end adds urgency to every page. A great read that lingers in your mind long after the last page.

Wake up and kick ass!!

I found this book to be very useful to the writing community. It's full of worksheets, examples, valuable information & tips to make our lives easier. As a writer myself it's a challenge for me to network. That's not my forte.
This book is filled with all the information you need to start ticking boxes and being able to train yourself to network & lose the fear once & for all.
Thanks for sharing this gem with us. Keep empowering writers out there.

Unfortunately this book wasn't for me. I struggled to stay engaged in the story. I found the writing to be quite amateur & in need of revision. Many details were unnecessary & distracted me from the main story. People who don't understand Northern English words/slang won't be able to read it. It limits the audience.
The premise was good but the execution lacked in many ways.

This book is a piece of art. It's full of detailed & beautiful illustrations & organized as a precious timeline about the historical events that shaped the world of botany. What kept me from giving a 5 star rating is that's only concentrated on the history of it instead of botany, which was the main reason for me reading this book. Nonetheless, it's a must read for those of you who love to learn about this topic. #TheBotanistsLibrary #NetGalley

GEEZ! At LAST!!
After 199 pages we finally get a little bit of action. I hate when slowburns take SO long. C‘mon! It was a good scene. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Clean & sweet. Not too crazy or overboard. Just nice. I would rate the smut in this book so far as a 🌶️🌶️.

Does it gets better than this? Or was that bit the best part?

I loved the MC‘s inner voice. It‘s sarcastic and funny and when it‘s not, you can relate to her pain and struggles.
I loved the interactions between the sisters. Their differences and relationship with each other. How they view each other. The way the author let us perceive their life in relationships with the MC was brilliant because you could actually feel what she was going through at the moment. And it was all relatable and believable.

This book is a treat!
It's all about secrets & keeping those you love safe. What life's about, or should be.
It was my first time reading a book by this author and I'm hooked. Her writing style is flawless. I could see and feel every word she wrote. I was invested in the characters since the beginning and I was left thinking about them whenever I had to put the book down.

Today we finished reading this gem of a book. It was beautiful, whimsical & full of magic. I felt like a kid again, letting my imagination run & laughing with all the silliness & crazy adventures the characters experienced. I definitely recommend this book. Beware: this book could be considered as banned nowadays since certain terminology has changed its meaning through the decades. Also, some cultural aspects may clash.
Overall, a must read!

I devoured this book! 4⭐️
This guide is great for beginners & an amazing tool for the experienced. The techniques & tricks he shares are easy to understand. He is very honest & doesn't sugarcoat anything. Knowing it's okay to make mistakes makes a difference.
I loved the detailed examples with photos on how to achieve certain illusions. Undoubtedly a great book to own even if you are not a cosplayer.

Two detectives interview a man who allegedly saved two women from a deadly accident.
From the moment the story begins the reader is wondering if the man is lying to them or if indeed he knows what really happened earlier.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was my first time reading this author and I‘m not disappointed. This book is beautifully written and full of emotions. It‘s a story that needs to be told and it‘s written from the point of view of the characters who are going through all the pain and hardships in their lives since they were very very young. A story that sometimes is full of hope and sometimes so heartbreaking.

My partner is reading me book 2 of the series The Faraway Tree. His favorite series from his childhood. Almost finished and loving it. Love the illustrations.

This book quote is so true. It‘s a constant battle.

I‘m more than half way through this one and I‘m really enjoying it. Beautifully written and full of emotions.

Who else feels like this?! I do sometimes. This week has been quite difficult with what‘s been going on in the world.

Let‘s do our best to keep it from overflowing.
Sending hugs and light your way. 🫂✨❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my partner‘s favorite book of poems. He read it to me and it was such a fun experience to share so many laughs together. The poems have cute rhymes and are full of funny moments. It‘s like reading a collection of miniature stories. Recommend it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my partner‘s favorite children‘s book. He read it to me & I loved it. He is now reading book 2 to me. I love the author descriptions & the illustrations are amazing. Her imagination & all the conflicts that arise. Such a fun read
.
⚠️ Beware this book is now a banned book given the fact many words used are now considered rude or insulting or have a different connotation. At the time it was written none of that mattered.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my favorite short story. I read it to my partner one day and he read to me a couple of his. It‘s was a very beautiful moment we shared.
