BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE SHELF


๐Ÿ“–BOOK TITLE: THE SHELF 

๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: HELLY ACTON

๐Ÿ“–THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#FiftysixthBookOf2024

I absolutely devoured this one, and immediately I saw the book cover on Hooked on the Book on Facebook. I just knew I had to read this one, and it didn't disappoint at all.

The Shelf was beautifully written, and the characters were well suited to the task. The women in this book are breaking gender and relationship stereotypes. Of all the characters in this book, my least favorite will be Flick (no offense to the Women Community ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚) and Jamie (What a Dickhead !!!). 

I am not really a big fan of reality TV shows, but I absolutely love the concept of The Shelf. Looking forward to more books by this author. #shelflife

๐Ÿ“–RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

๐Ÿ“–QUOTES:

We can’t always choose what happens to us, but we can always choose how we react.

Choose your words carefully. Words can be weapons of mass destruction and leave lifelong scars.

The secret to having it all is knowing that you do.

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 The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change?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

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. 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) ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ . 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 ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ˜‚ .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 (...
