BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: ONLY BIG BUMBUM MATTERS TOMORROW


📖BOOK TITLE: ONLY BIG BUMBUM MATTERS TOMORROW 

📖AUTHOR: DAMILARE KUKU 

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#NinetiethBookof2024

I feel that this book should be between 3 and 4 stars, maybe 3.5-ish, but I love whole numbers😂.

I can empathize with Temi regarding the taunts she got over her 'small yansh' and the constant comparisons to her elder sister. I also loved the way the author talked about each character: Temi is complaining about her 'small yansh', and Ladun is complaining too. What a life! 😂😂. For Nigerian parents, Tito and Hassana's parenting style is to be talked about, especially Tito, who is such a wonderful father 🎉💐.The girls are so free to talk to him about everything. Another thing I loved about this book was the family dynamics displayed. Despite being an open family, there were still some secrets among them. It is funny how Hassana wants Ladun to forgive her, but she can't find a place in her heart to forgive Jummai.

For a book I loved so many things about, it still felt incomplete per se, and I have some questions that need answers 😫.

Damilare Kuku, with the banging titles, I can't wait to see what your next book will be about 😍.

📖RATINGS: 3 STARS ⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:
♧we must all be stronger than the words people throw at us; otherwise, we never move forward.

♧Silence is powerful, especially when the person you are sparring with is screaming.

♧People have forgotten how to be kind with their words.Sometimes they joke, but they do not know that it lands in a place of hurt.

    This last quote resonates a lot with me, sometimes we joke but to the other person it is not a joke

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 The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change?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