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.

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 The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change?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