BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF


๐Ÿ“–BOOK TITLE: ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF 

๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: ONYI NWABINELI 

๐Ÿ“–THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#SixtysixthBookOf2024
The moment I read the blurb, I knew that I had to read this book. This is a story that hits so close to home. Many times I stumble on parents documenting their children's lives on social media, and while it's not bad in itself, it is the backlash that is the problem, and you can't save your children from these.

Countless kid pictures are used as memes to express rage, contempt, laughter, and the rest, and these are pictures saved from the internet. The internet never forgets!! This book gives us an insider's view into social media influencers lives, particularly  "momfluencers." Anuri had to fight for her independence with a woman who raised her. And now I am starting to think: was it all about money, popularity, and fame for Ophelia? Why did she not see reason even when her family was falling apart?

I loved that Loki's and Simi's friendship was so true and pure—we can't go through life's muddy waters alone. Anuri's genuine love for her sister is worthy of being emulated.

This is a great and insightful read about social media and its effects on children, tweens, and teens entering adulthood.๐Ÿ‘

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: DARK MATTER

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: DARK MATTER  ๐Ÿ“– AUTHOR: BLAKE CROUCH  ๐Ÿ“– 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 ๐Ÿ’•. So it starts getting interesting when Jason1 gets kidnapped ๐Ÿ˜ฎ 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 rant๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜Š. Welcome to another chapter of weekly special book lovers ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ˜. 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚. 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...
