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"

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: DARK MATTER

📖 BOOK TITLE: DARK MATTER 📖 AUTHOR: BLAKE CROUCH 📖 THOUGHTS&OPINIONS : #LetterD of My Alphabet Challenge #FourteenthBookOf2024 So this novel followed the story of Jason Densen. Jason is a scientist and has been trying to put a macro object in superposition; in other words, Jason was trying to figure out if we can access other timelines other than our own. But that dream was cut short when he decided to settle down, have a family, and be responsible. He left his passion for scientific research in order to have a family, which is pretty cool if you ask me 💕. So it starts getting interesting when Jason1 gets kidnapped 😮 mysterious, right? I am not going to say who kidnapped him, but if you have read the book, I am guessing you were as shocked as me when you found out. It turns out there are multiple versions of Jasons, and it turned bloody real quick. This book was nothing I expected. I was terrified to say the truth. I heard that there is a movie adaptation 😏

An excerpt from NEARLY ALL THE MEN IN LAGOS ARE MAD BY DAMILARE KUKU

The Anointed Wife Do you think it is easy to be a pastor’s wife? How can you know what it means to be the partner of a man with a divine calling, made of flesh but instructed to lead with the spirit? Any ordinary wife has their work cut out for them in loving their husbands, in serving them for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, but a pastor’s wife has to help her husband maintain his holy anointing, and to do so with an invisible hand. “I didn’t do it. Mummy, do you believe me?” How long has it been since I became the mummy of our organisation, the mother in our marriage? I can’t remember. It feels like forever since I had the pleasure, the intimacy of hearing my own name fall from my husband’s lips—my real name, not Mummy, sometimes followed by one of the children’s names. I look at him now. His pleading eyes and downturned mouth. His hair is impeccably groomed, his salt and pepper beard neatly trimmed. We have been married for over twenty years. Our love has gone b
