BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE PEOPLE ON PLATFORM 5


📖BOOK TITLE: THE PEOPLE ON PLATFORM 5

📖AUTHOR: CLARE POOLEY

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#102ndBookOf2024

You might find this book slow or difficult to get into, but please stick with it 🥺because it gets better with each page and chapter. It is very easy to make assumptions about other people's lives, and I hope after reading this book that you will give people a chance. Get to know them, and that might be the start of a beautiful and wonderful friendship.

Iona, I'm very sorry that I assumed you had a very wonderful life. You and Bea are the whole damn cake! Toby, shame on you, control freak. Ed- Iona should have let Lulu loose on you 😐.

This is the perfect found family trope, and I learned a lot of lessons from this book.

📖RATINGS: 4 STARS 

📖QUOTES:

◇People who bully usually have more problems themselves than you are ever aware of.

◇What is the point of being alive if you go through life unnoticed.

◇The whole point of life is to stand out, not to fit in.

◇You never really know what’s going on in other people’s heads.

◇Love is the greatest risk of all, but a life without it is meaningless.

◇The only way to be guaranteed of failure is not to try.

◇There was no moment except this perfect one, right here and right now.

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 The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change?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