Soooo, whatās everyoneās reading preference when they travel or go on vacation? Physical book, kindle/e-reader, or audiobook?
Personally, Iām a kindle girlie when Iām on vacation. As much as I love a physical book, sometimes theyāre too bulky to pack, or I just donāt want to mess up my book lol

Your on a desert island awaiting rescue and you can only bring three books but they MUST have a cover with the mainly primary colors (Red, Yellow, or Blue)
Which books and Why?
Here are my picks:
ā¤ļø - Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel š - The Survivor Wants to Die At The End by Adam Silvera š - Yellowface. by R.F Kuang
I chose these ones because they've been on my TBR forever maybe if I get stranded on an island I'll finally get to them !

Forced into unending sleep or perilous insomnia, repeating tedious daily routines until your body rots, watching as your skin starts to glow or your hands sprout scalesāthese novels feature illnesses that are far from typical.

Japan has a long history of crime fiction. From police procedurals, thrillers, murder mysteries and assassins, Japan has it all.

I had a hard time staying engaged, the story never fully pulled me in, and I found my attention drifting more often than not. By the time I reached the end, my main takeaway was that the story felt like the fantasy version of the classic āI can fix him / I can change himā trope, and unfortunately, that just didnāt do it for me.
Meadow was the only likable character, and she's a secondary character.
This one was just "meh" for me

Oh, Chevy. Iāve waited months for this book and tried so hard to get an advance copyāwhich I didnāt get, by the wayāonly to be let down.
The plot was interesting. Iāve seen it many times in films throughout my life, and Iām all for the premise, albeit the antagonists were revealed quite early on. Yes, it was intense at the start, but the tension and pacing were inconsistent, and it became repetitive at times. The twists were predictable, and anyone familiar with psychological thrillers, whether in film or fiction, would see them coming a mile away.
Overall, I didnāt enjoy this one at all. Well, the ending was kind of heartwarmingābut thatās about it.

Ugh. This one was a struggle to get through, kind of like that 70s Winnebago RV chugging along in the story.
The book actually started off so strong and pulled me in right away, but by around chapter five, it really started to fizzle. From there, it felt like I was reading the same chapter on repeat, same formula, just slightly different details and scenarios each time. The pacing dragged, and a lot of the situations felt unbelievable, which made it even harder to stay engaged.
Whatās frustrating is that the writing itself is solid, and the premise had so much potential. With such a strong start, this could have been a great read, but it just didnāt deliver.
Sadly, this oneās a skip for me.
