The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo //Book Review

Hey πŸ‘‹πŸ½ haven't posted anything on here in AGES. I've just been extremely preoccupied this year on school & prelims & NSC exams (that's coming up). I've been so preoccupied with all that that I didn't manage time well to fit in "Write Blog Post" in the Daily To Do Lists. 
But, anyways... 
I read one of the most hyped books in the online book community, and....... I loved it😍
I loved the characters. I loved that Taylor Jenkins Reid made them all immensely human, and rawly real (do that something people say, idk?πŸ˜…)

I loved how Taylor Jenkins Reid wrote in such a simplistic way that it kind of made it addictive to read. And I don't think everyone will find it addictive when reading but I did. I'm someone who loves seeing the behind the scenes things of movies & I love celebrity gossip & news. So this was addictive to read for me because you get to see both of those things within the book. 

Something that surprised me but that I also loved about the book was how gay it was.πŸ˜… I knew that Evelyn Hugo was bisexual but I was surprised by all the other things that revolved by the gayness of this book (if that makes any senseπŸ˜‚). I didn't expect it and yet I loved the book even more because of it. 

There really isnt anything that I hated about the book and would highly highly recommend this book to almost anyone who' s willing to read it. 

Now, before you see my rating you have to understand that I read this book over the span of a couple of months, so I didn't get to fully experience the book the way it should have been experienced because I believe that this book needs to be read in one sitting, cover-to-cover, to fully get the magic of this book. Another reason for the lower rating is because, I just know that on reread I'll give it a higher rating so I'm going to nerf my rating so that I won't have to be disappointed by my past/future rating/opinion... Does that make sense to anyone other than me, I don't know?🀷🏾‍♂️πŸ˜‚ 
But anyway, I absolutely loved this book, it's one of my favourites. 
-π‘Ήπ’‚π’•π’Šπ’π’ˆ: 🌟🌟🌟.5 /5

I'm super excited for the adaptation. And I hope that it comes out well. 
(you guys on the blog get to see a photo that I have yet to post on my Bookstagram account, I'm going to post it on the 30th of October 2020)

Scythe by Neal Shusterman// Book Review

(This Review might contain Spoilers :)  I  recently finished Scythe by Neal Shusterman, and may I just say I loved it. It had plot twists that I never could have guessed, I was shocked almost all the way to the end. Scythe is one of those books that once you start reading all you want to do is to see how the book will eventually wrap-up - and may I just say I liked the ending plot-twist. Something that I really appreciated within this book was the writing style Neal Shusterman used, it's really easy going/straight to the point and isn't very prose heavy - which helps people like me who can lose interest easily. Now with all of that said this would be an otherwise 3 star book for me. But I think what pushed this over towards a 4 star book was the world, concept & execution of the concept. The utopian setting of the book feels somewhat unique & tangible.  RATING : 4/5 stars

Quick Fire Reviews ⏱️πŸ”₯

So, this is a new thing I'm trying to do on the blog. I hope you guys like this new idea, and I hope I keep up with this.              The Thunderhead : This is the second book in the Arc of the Scythe trilogy.  From the Goodreads reviews that I saw online most people either fall under liking/disliking the book. I for one, really liked this book alot more that the first book.                     Rating: 4.5/5                 The Toll : This is the third book in the Arc of the Scythe trilogy.  This was the best book in the series. Everything from the plot to the characters to even the world got elevated to a new height in this book. I would have wanted a sequel series or a different series within the same world, but I loved the way the series wrapped up so well.                    ...

Sea Star Summer by Sally Partridge // Book Review

So about a month ago South African author, Sally Partridge, held a book giveaway on her website. In celebration of her latest book being released, Sea Star Summer.  I relentlessly & passively entered. And at the time of entering the giveaway I had seen her books at my local public library, but I never had the chance to take it out or read any of her books. If I'm being honest, when I initially entered the competition I had no idea that I was actually stood any chance of winning. So would you imagine my surprise to finding out that I was one of the people that won the giveaway. I was so surprised by winning it, not only was it my first time winning a book giveaway but it was also the first time I could do a book Haul on my Instagram account [@themostlybookishblog]. πŸ‘️πŸ‘„πŸ‘️ I'm probably drawing this intro out for way too long.πŸ˜… So without further or do here is my review of Sea Star Summer by Sally Partridge.  Pros :  1 - The Atmosphere. I absolutely loved...
