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)

March 2025 Monthly WrapUp

  Hey yall! March 2025 has been quite the experience to live through, so much has happened to me these last few weeks. My personal life has been a neverending emotional rollercoaster, and I'm glad March is coming to an end. This month I've been trying my hand at Bullet Journaling more, working out at the gym, taking Lent (Im Anglican, btw) very seriously, and of course, reading alot more (on account that I have more free time to do so) . That being said means that I've been feeling sad due to life; had more muscle pains; not to mention the fact that I've been intermittent fasting. Although it's been a rather tough month for me I've had tons of fun too. Watched a bunch of tv, and FINALLY read books this year. Firstly, the films and TV I watched this month [Rewatch] Down Low(2023) ★★★✩✩ [Rewatch] Shrek(2001) ★★★★★ Star Wars: Tales of The Jedi {ep 1} ★★★★✩ [Rewatch] Bojack Horseman (S2 ep. 5 - 12) ★★★★✩ (Pretty recently at work i meet someone with a Bojack H...

The books I had to read for my Grade 12 English class + MY THOUGHTS ON 'The Tragedy of Macbeth'

Author's Note Hey guys, this post will be posted sometime within January/Febuary of 2022 but parts of this post I'd initially started writing as far back as August 2020. Amist both my Matric year(arguably my most stressful schooling year I've had thus far) and amist the shifting lockdown restrictions happening in the world and the ever increasing number of Covid-19 cases - and witnessing friends and relatives of mine falling ill (and eventually me included). When I first started writing this post I wasn't sure whether or not it would ever get posted, there was even a time during 2021 when I decided to go completely off the grid - nearly deleted this blog as well... but something stopped me... thinking about this blog and just how cathartic these posts are for me, I guess that stopped me (ofcourse now I'm back on most social media again). I'm not saying any of this for you to pity me, I'm merely saying this for you to get a glimpse into my thought process. So...

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
