BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE COLLECTED REGRETS OF CLOVER

📖BOOK TITLE: THE COLLECTED REGRETS OF CLOVER

📖AUTHOR: MIKKI BRAMMER

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#ThirtythirdBookOf2024

The main theme surrounding the story was "GRIEF" and while the story did justice to the theme, I don't think it requires 55 chapters to do so. The book was dragging, but I had to finish it.

In this story, we meet Clover, who is a death doula (I know y'all have only ever heard about birth doulas), but that is what Clover does; she helps prepare you for your death. While I didn't particularly appreciate the extended chapters, I did enjoy the plot. It is easy to use something as a mask to avoid certain social interactions, and that is what Clover used her job to do as a way to avoid interactions with living people.

I am glad she found her will to live again and found love during the process.

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 The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change?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...

WHO AM I?

In this chapter of the Weekly Special, I am going to dive into who I am aside from being a book reviewer! I know y'all are probably thinking that all I do with my time is read books and rate them on a scale of five 😂😂. Probably not! So the question is, Who is RayoReads? I am Rayo, and this is who I am aside from reading and reviewing books. 1. I am a student at Delta State University in Abraka studying physiology. How cool, right? (just joking) 😂😂 . When school is in session,studies take up most of my time, which is why I am so happy when we go on breaks. 2. I am a very introverted person, which you will have guessed, so no partying, going out , excessive friends, and the rest. 3. I am an indoors person, but that does not mean I sleep a lot 💤😂 .P.S.: I don't like taking afternoon naps. 4. I am not a big social person, but you can find me on Facebook: ( https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087184700959&mibextid=ZbWKwL ) Instagram (...
