📖GENRE: MYSTERY&THRILLER

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#LetterO of My Alphabet Challenge #SixthBookOf2024 #JanuaryBookclubPick

Six girls, one murderer—who did it and why?
I loved the way the girls stories intertwined with each other, how the story kept me guessing, and how each of the girls had to come through for Lexi. It was like Lexi was a force to be reckoned with! None of them could refuse her.

When your best friend decides to throw your hen party, you can't imagine that something will go wrong.
I didn't like how the book ended; with all the buildup of secrets, I expected the ending to be more intense. It felt more like women's fiction than a mystery or thriller.

📖QUOTES:

"The bravest thing any of us can do is ask for help.”

''You can’t please everyone"

"The biochemistry of our bodies changes when we spend time with good friends."

“I know something about those choices. The ones we make for other people.”

"To overcome fear, one has to face it."

"All that’s important is what you feel"

"I’m starting to wonder if the things I’m afraid of are the very things I should be doing.”

“Isn’t it strange how sometimes the worst things that happen

to us end up being the best?”

“Maybe we all need to stop trying to meet everyone else’s expectations—and just meet our own.”

"he made the ordinary feel extraordinary"

"Life was fragile and fleeting and mostly out of your control, and all you could do was surround yourself with good people, do your best."

"Life. What a big fucking mystery"

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 ...

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...
