Here’s mine! ⬇️😆

I want to read a book about the history of the universe but I’m afraid to ask the questions of the world because I’m too lazy.

I gave this book five stars because it was my first time seeing a book about the past two decades and it was so interesting.

The main character is a very cool guy who has been around since the beginning of time but he was very much in love with the idea of being a star.

Have you ever picked up a book solely because of its cover? Without actually knowing what it’s about?

For me it was The Poisoner by I.V Ophelia. The cover was so mystical and pretty! I just had to get it lol even if the story was terrible, it’d look cute on my shelf. But it was actually such a good book! The vibes were perfect after wanting something vampy and gothic to read after watching Dracula in theaters! Can’t wait for book 2 now!!

Todays question inspired by a book that fell on my foot this morning during shelf reorganisation...

What are some of the most disappointing or frustrating endings you've ever read? It can be a book or a series, try to keep it spoiler-free.

I personally have read some bad endings, usually rushed or missed, but it's also easy for me to give my two worst because I remember having such physical reactions to them.

The Toll by Neal Shusterman (aka the book that fell on my foot). I loathe the end of this series. Imo it just makes no sense. Jericho and completionism are the only things that stopped me from DNFing. Honestly, I felt like my emotional investment in the world wasn't rewarded. The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni. In my defence, I read it right after it was released and wasn't aware it was intended to be a series. That ending made me spitting mad. The first line of my review is... Book Meet Wall, Wall Meet Book.

Btw, tomorrow I will be asking about the best because for every bad ending, there are many, many good endings.

I still feel like I have no idea what’s going on 😭 maybe listening to the audiobook wasn’t the best move?

Hello all !! I was in a local bookshop today and found the gem of a lifetime ! A book named after me !!! Now for some people, this is old news. But for my BIPOC friends out there … the struggle is real. So imagine my surprise when I look over the vintage classics & see Ayesha, The Return of She by H. Rider Haggard; a 1905 gothic-fantasy novel ?!? I couldn’t believe my eyes !! And then it got me wondering… there are thousands of books on this planet, could there be one for you too ??

SO: do you have a namesake book? Have you read it/would you read it? Is it out there but you haven’t discovered it yet?

It’s interesting so far but I’m definitely finding it difficult to get used to the writing style.
