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  

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...

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.                    ...
