BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD

📖BOOK TITLE: THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD

📖AUTHOR: BUCHI EMECHETA

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#FiftyfourthBookOf2024

I read this some years ago, and when I saw Goodreads recommend it to me, I knew I had to read it again. All waves of nostalgia hit me as I read this book again ❤😍.

This is a work of art, wonderfully written, and perfectly executed🤧😌.

Ignorance is indeed the worst thing that can ever happen to a person. Gather knowledge and use it wisely. Just like when Adaku gathered a little knowledge, she knew she had to run (I perfectly understood why she had to leave), but Nnu Ego, the traditional wife to the core, held on to those old beliefs and thought her children would believe them too.

Parents, your children are not a retirement package; stop treating them as such!! Stop reminding them at every opportunity how much you sacrificed for them to be where they are. Trust me, they know how much you did for them and are still doing for them, and they are putting a lot of effort into whatever they are doing just so they can show you that your sacrifices for them are not in vain! Train your girl child, whether formally or vocationally.

📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:

♧In life you tortured him, teased him with your body. Now that he is dead, you cry for his manhood.

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: REMEMBER ME TOMORROW

📖 BOOK TITLE: REMEMBER ME TOMORROW 📖AUTHOR: FARAH HERON 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #127thBookOf2024 Yes, this book is a little bonkers. This is a very unconventional love story, and you have to really get at it to grasp the story between Jay and Aleeza. You know I love everything time travel/parallel universe-related, and with each fiction book I read about this topic, my mind is blown away every single time. Yes, there's more mystery elements than the rom-com because how can Aleeza be in love with Jay, who is not even in her timeline, talk about a guy who is unavailable? I loved how put together this book was, how the mystery elements worked together; there was no point in this book that was left to assumptions; everything was explained well without being boring and overly descriptive. Overall, I really enjoyed this story, and definitely this will not be my last Farah Heron's book. 📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📖QUOTES: ♤ Time isn’t linear. There are an infin...

#16 NETGALLEY READ: SOMEONE LIKE YOU

📖 BOOK TITLE: SOMEONE LIKE YOU 📖AUTHOR: SANDY BARKER 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #134thBookOf2024 Thank you to Netgalley, Boldwood Books, and Sandy Barker for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. I would have rated this 3.5 stars, but I rounded it up to 4 stars. The whole transition from friends to lovers took me on a ride, and I really thought that both Raff's and Gaby's HEAs (Happily Ever After) would not happen due to some circumstances on both MCs part. "Someone Like You" is the fourth book in the "Ever After Agency Series," and I read this book as a standalone even without reading the rest in the series. Honestly, I feel that no one can be as dumb and oblivious as Raff. Like, seriously, dude, how can you not know when someone is flirting with you? The whole matchmaker bit got me excited (that's a dream job). Overall, I really enjoyed this story, even if I thought it was way too long and dragging ...
