BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: NOSY NEIGHBORS

📖BOOK TITLE: NOSY NEIGHBORS

📖AUTHOR: FREYA SAMPSON

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#SeventyFifthBookOf2024 #LetterN Of My Alphabet Challenge

So I saw this book on Goodreads, and it was classified as a cozy mystery. After reading this book, I'm not sure the term 'cozy mystery' applies to it. I expected more from this book in terms of the mystery part, but I was disappointed.

The story was told from the point of view of Kat and Ms. Dorothy, and while the book blurb promised us mystery, there was no death or anything in that aspect, just secrets and maybe gossip. The character I resonated with the most was Ms. Dorothy, who has been through a lot—her child died, her husband divorced her, and worst of all, she blames herself for all of it, and I am so happy she got a second chance to be happy again.

This book is just a reminder that people, even our douchy, angry, overbearing, pushy, or even touchy neighbors, and all neighbors in general, are all fighting unseen battles. This is a reminder to be kind to people, especially your neighbors.

📖RATINGS: 3 STARS ⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:

¤I have become so consumed with these what-ifs and the life that was stolen from me, I stopped living the life I still have.

¤Home isn’t made by bricks and mortar but by the people in it.

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...

#17 NETGALLEY READ: SOME LIKE IT SCOT

📖 BOOK TITLE: SOME LIKE IT SCOT 📖AUTHOR: PEPPER BASHAM 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #135thBookOf2024 Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. It has been long since I've felt all the feels of a romantic swoon, and this book filled my heart with a renewed faith in love and what love can do to a person. I kept wishing for this book not to end for me to continue immersing myself in the richness of the love story between Graeme (I pronounce this as "grim" in my head; I hope that is correct 😂) and Katie. These two give a whole different meaning to love, 🥰🥰 and I love it for them. Katie, the travel writer who does not have roots in any place, meets Graeme, who has a loving family in Mull and is not thinking of going anywhere any time soon. After meeting our two MCs, I thought that maybe this was just going to be a fling, but alas, with these two, the word fling doesn'...
