BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE LOVE OF MY AFTERLIFE

📖BOOK TITLE: THE LOVE OF MY AFTER LIFE

📖AUTHOR: KIRSTY GREENWOOD

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#NinetyFifthBookOf2024 #FiveBooksToHundred 🎉

I'm going to start this review with a quote: Life is not about filling time; it's about fulfilling it. I laughed, I shed some tears (even if I'm not going to admit that to anyone 🤭) and I loved it.

When I started this book, I had some mixed feelings. Halfway through, I was like, okay. Towards the end, I was laughing, cleaning my tears that I so didn't cry 😂😂, and patting myself on the back, saying that I'm so glad I finished this book.

Delphie meets her soulmate at Evermore and instantly strikes a deal with her afterlife therapist Merritt to go back to Earth to search for him (a scavenger hunt for a man😂), and then she enlists the help of her grumpy neighbor R.L. Cooper (if you've read the book, you'll realize like I did that Cooper's initials are very funny), and even though I'd already figured out what would happen in terms of love interest, I still enjoyed every bit of it, and Merritt is such a character 😂😂.

Another thing that made me really emotional was how Delphie opened up more to people and how she has her own community and love now. It is the perfect found family trope❤❤.

This book is everything it says it is. So if you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for!!

📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:

♤The problem with so many people you encounter in life is that they’re being the version of themselves they think they should be rather than the person they actually are.

♤Life is too short to wait around on a good idea.

♤My past is what makes me, me. And all of it, good and bad, has led me here today.

♤If people want to go, sometimes it’s easier to just let them.

♤Being alive is about experiencing the full gamut of emotions. If you’re not feeling pushed and pulled and scared and delighted instead of just safe—then you’re not doing it right

#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'...

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...

FROM ONE TO FIVE

Another Saturday, another bookish rant😂😊. Welcome to another chapter of weekly special book lovers 📚😍. 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 😂. 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...
