BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE BOOKSHOP OF DUST AND DREAMS

📖BOOK TITLE: THE BOOKSHOP OF DUSTS AND DREAMS

📖AUTHOR: MINDY THOMPSON

📖GENRE: MIDDLE GRADE FANTASY

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#LetterT of my alphabet challenge #EighthBookOf2024

When I started my reading journey this year, I decided to branch out of my usual genres a little, and I found this book. The cover drew me in, and I added it to my TBR.

The book is told from Poppy's point of view, and this book is about love, magic, grief, friendships, and family.

I don't think I am the target audience for this book. After reading it, I looked up the book and found out it was a middle-grade fantasy, but anyway, the book has a great story line. I loved how Poppy stood for her family, but I also felt that the responsibilities put on her were too much for a 13-year-old.

I recommend it to every child within the age bracket of 9 to 14. They will love it!

📖QUOTES:

"Bookshops are good for broken souls and wounded hearts."

"Every now and then, life calls for a scene"

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing"

"A book is the greatest gift a person can get."

"I have to defend the shop and the magic and the place that I call home, no matter what. Because I am nothing without it."

"This shop is my family. And family doesn’t leave when things get scary. They stay.”

"Even in the midst of darkness, there is hope."

"I am the girl who chases the Light"

FROM ONE TO FIVE

Another Saturday, another bookish rant😂😊. Welcome to another chapter of weekly special book lovers 📚😍. The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change?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 😂. 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...
