BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: YES NO MAYBE SO


๐Ÿ“–BOOK TITLE: YES NO MAYBE SO 

๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: BECKY ALBERTALLI & AISHA SAEED

๐Ÿ“–THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#NinetyNinethBookOf2024 #1BookToHundred ๐ŸŽ‰

Let me be honest, the politics talk threw me a little, and I know what you are thinking, but I'm not much of a politics girlie- That being said, let's talk about the love story between Jamie and Maya: a love story that started all because they went canvassing together, and it was so cute that Jamie fell first ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿคญ.

Jamie has always seen himself as an awkward, shy, and unbrave teen. It's funny what love will do to you, and we see how Jamie opened up and became better at things he didn't quite know how to do well: first canvassing, public speaking, speaking up for himself more, and telling Maya how he feels ๐Ÿคญ.

Jamie and Maya are very different. He is Jewish, and she is Muslim. I want to know how they will navigate these differences and grow. Oh my God, I wish there's a sequel. (Sincerely, I've just been wishing for sequels lately๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚)

The world won't change itself; change starts with us, you and me. Be the change you want to see in the world, and can you tell that I totally adore Jamie ๐Ÿคญ.

๐Ÿ“–RATINGS: 3 STARS ⭐⭐⭐

๐Ÿ“–QUOTES:
There is far more that unites us than divides us.

All our actions are little drops that collect into a groundswell for change. It’s the only way most change happens.

We have to fight for change however we can.

It’s strange how something can be someone’s entire universe, but not even register as a blip for someone else.

FROM ONE TO FIVE

Another Saturday, another bookish rant๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜Š. Welcome to another chapter of weekly special book lovers ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ˜. The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change?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 ๐Ÿ˜‚. 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...

WHO AM I?

In this chapter of the Weekly Special, I am going to dive into who I am aside from being a book reviewer! I know y'all are probably thinking that all I do with my time is read books and rate them on a scale of five ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Probably not! So the question is, Who is RayoReads? I am Rayo, and this is who I am aside from reading and reviewing books. 1. I am a student at Delta State University in Abraka studying physiology. How cool, right? (just joking) ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ . When school is in session,studies take up most of my time, which is why I am so happy when we go on breaks.  2. I am a very introverted person, which you will have guessed, so no partying, going out , excessive friends, and the rest. 3. I am an indoors person, but that does not mean I sleep a lot ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ˜‚ .P.S.: I don't like taking afternoon naps. 4. I am not a big social person, but you can find me on Facebook: (  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087184700959&mibextid=ZbWKwL )    Instagram (...
