BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS


๐Ÿ“–BOOK TITLE: FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

#NinetySixthBookOf2024 #4BooksToHundred๐ŸŽ‰
Short stories often leave me with mixed feelings; most of the stories have more depth than others, and that, to me, is the most interesting part because you get to use your imagination to complete the story! These short story collections take us through the lives of interconnected people and maybe friends. And obviously, I have some favorites, which are:

The Commute: This would make such an interesting rom-com. Find the guy with your favorite book, but you don't know anything about him. Cute!๐Ÿฅฐ

Good Goodbye: I kind of feel sad for Jon and Gabby; their love would have had potential if one of them let go of their ego.

Ghana in December: The thing with grief is that it never fully disappears; you live with it your entire life.

Love in Crisis: I genuinely wanted to see how this ended. What did Michael say to Dami when he called her? ๐Ÿ˜ซ

A Short Trip to Tesco: that small act of kindness that you consider prevalent but to the other person means everything

I am so excited to see what Shani's next book will be๐Ÿ˜Š.

๐Ÿ“–RATINGS: 3 STARS ⭐⭐⭐

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: REZ BALL

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: REZ BALL  ๐Ÿ“– AUTHOR : BRYON GRAVES  ๐Ÿ“– THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #146thBookof2024 I am really surprised that this is a debut novel! I really have no words to describe what I felt when I was reading this book so I am going to leave my review like this.  Wow!!! I am no basketball enthusiast but I'm so glad I discovered this book, I am so glad I got to read this book! You can see how raw the emotions are, you begin to feel what the author felt when he was penning down this book! We need more books like this!! Time to go and watch the movie!! ๐Ÿ“– RATINGS : 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: REMEMBER ME TOMORROW

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: REMEMBER ME TOMORROW  ๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: FARAH HERON ๐Ÿ“–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. ๐Ÿ“–RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ๐Ÿ“–QUOTES: ♤ Time isn’t linear. There are an infin...

THE REUNION BY KAYLA OLSON

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: THE REUNION ๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: KAYLA OLSON  ๐Ÿ“–THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #155thBookof2024 I really wanted to love this; I mean, look at this stunning cover, but it is what it is, and I didn't love it ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. It was like the author wanted to shove the love interest down my throat ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. One thing this love story between Liv and Ransom did was make me cringe. I even lowkey hated the MMC's name ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜‘. The chemistry was not there, and it just felt as if Liv didn't have any other option than to date Ransom. Boy told you he wanted space; he didn't talk to you, and after so many years, he waltzed back into your life like he never left. The synopsis made it feel like Ransom was the reason Liv went into isolation ๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜‘. Liv- I love your personality and your charisma, but your love story with Ransom was one I so detested ๐Ÿ™. ๐Ÿ“– RATINGS : 2 STARS ⭐⭐ ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŒธ READ IF YOU LIKE: ๐ŸŒธ She has always loved him ๐ŸŒธ Friends to strangers to lovers ๐ŸŒธ Second chance romance  ๐ŸŒธ Hollywoo...
