#8 NETGALLEY READ: THE CURIOUS SECRETS OF YESTERDAY


๐Ÿ“š BOOK TITLE:  THE CURIOUS SECRETS OF YESTERDAY 

๐Ÿ“š AUTHOR: NAMRATA PATEL 

๐Ÿ“š PUB DATE: 11 June 2024 

๐Ÿ“šTHOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

I like books about multigenerations;  there are so insightful( it's like being taken on a ride full of therapy sessions ๐Ÿ˜„)

TULSI  is an average Gupta daughter who is sick and tired of being micromanaged at every instance. Her Grandmother and mother is trying to pass her the "spice healer" mantle that she doesn't want to take just like the Disney Movie "MOANA" but the difference between TULSI&MOANA is that TULSI doesn't know what her way is (if you get the pun๐Ÿ˜„)

DEVI  is supposed to be TULSI'S mom, but in the book this 2 characters don't show that mother-daughter relationship. I can't believe you lied to your own daughter about her paternity  just because you thought that was the right thing to do. 

I really liked that TULSI managed to find her own path after a long time of being micromanaged and she also finds love too ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ. This book has a beautiful story and I also love that a disney story was mentioned in this book, a fictional movie in a fictional novel๐Ÿ˜„

FROM ONE TO FIVE

Another Saturday, another bookish rant๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜Š. Welcome to another chapter of weekly special book lovers ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ˜. The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change? The other day I saw a post on Instagram about whether book reviewers still made use of "stars" when reviewing books, and I was compelled to make this a topic on my book segment! So the question is, 'Do reviewers and generally book lovers still make use of stars when reviewing books?' As a book reviewer myself, I love making use of stars, and I will never stop making use of them except a better system comes up for scaling books ๐Ÿ˜‚. It is also true that I correct my ratings accordingly. What do I mean by this? This is what I mean: when rating books, I go by my mood and excitement after completion of the book, and I immediately rate books. I may look back on my emotions after reading a particular book and correct my ratings. I recently...
