#4 BOOKSIRENS READ: PARALLEL


📖BOOK TITLE: PARALLEL 

📖AUTHOR: HOPE BOLINGER 

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#ThirtyfirsthBookOf2024 #Arc

I want to thank the publisher, author, and booksirens for granting my request to read this book for free in exchange for my honest opinions.

When I read the synopsis of the book, I immediately wanted to read this book because all the craze about multiverses just hit me since Dark Matter and Parallel left me craving more books with similar themes. So, cheers to reading more books about multiverses 🍻🥂!

Jonas and Sonja's relationship was so cute, and I totally get the feeling when you think you've met the 'One', that one person that totally gets you, that person that loves your quirks, that one person that just loves you 😍. I love love 💕, I am such a hopeless romantic, but I enjoyed their relationship, and particularly how they were so sure that they wanted to make their relationship long-term (marriage) despite their young age! 

But that's the problem: how do you do long term with a person who doesn't share the same universe with you? 😳So the solution to this problem is:

1. Think about how funny it is that in the whole of your city, you couldn't find a person to love, but you had to love a person from an entire different universe 😂.
2. Gather your best friends and tell them about your theory, guessing they didn't take it well.
3. Watch enough conspiracy theories.
4. Tell your best friends to open a portal to another universe to see your boyfriend.

Anyway, that is about that; the important thing is that you broke space and time to see your boyfriend. Initially, I found it cute that Sonja and Jonas had the same letters, but the whole characters had the same arrangement: Tresa and Aster , Roan and Nora. 

 I found SJ's parents very very toxic and it is really weird, and about 5 chapters or so into the ending, I felt like I was missing something.

Above all, I love the book, and I will be on the lookout for more of Hope Bolinger's work😍😍.

📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:
□Relationships require sacrifice, but I’d like to believe it’s both people compromising. Both people being willing to give up something for each other.

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
