This book is about an old woman who’s a cleaner at an aquarium who finds an odd friendship with an octopus. The octopus helps her discover mysteries to do with her son who had years prior gone missing. This book took me forever to read just because there was nothing gripping about it. I didnt mind the plot or subplots and I didn’t mind the characters. Would I recommend it to anyone? Probably not. Do I regret reading it? No. It was nothing special and I don’t see the hype it was simply meh

This book is a whodunnit style murder mystery when a family goes on a reunion and someone is found dead. The family being the suspects. I liked this book. I liked the style of writing, the comedic tone and the mystery itself. Although I did like it I found it a little unbelievable (the ending), it was a little too far fetched for me but other than that can’t fault it, I enjoyed my time reading it. It wasn’t life changing but definitely a good past time, would be great as a pallet cleanser.

About a group of three friends Sadie, Marx and Sam who built a video games that went viral and got super successful. It spans over a period of around 30 years and the story follows their personal lives, relationships and other trials and tribulations. The first half of this book was really enjoyable and I was completely invested in the story and all its characters. For some reason it started to get really boring half way through and I had to force myself to keep reading. It was so bad (the boredom) that I literally stopped reading for 3 days and I read EVERYDAY. I can’t pin point exactly what made the book boring but I just stopped caring about what was happening I stopped being interested in any of the plots like it was just putting me in the worst slump. It was also the first book I’ve ever annotated so I was really excited at the beginning and had really high hopes due to everything I’ve heard about it and all its awards…. but in the end I ended up DNFing coz I just couldn’t stand the book
