#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't quite fit with them.

Another amazing thing I loved about this book was that both of our MCs are creatives and how Graeme did everything he could to support Katie despite all her misadventures.

This review won't be complete if I don't applaud the author for a wonderful job of bringing Scotland and the island of Mull to life. I haven't been to Scotland, but it felt like I was right there with them.

I giggled, I laughed, and I almost cried, and I think I might need a hot Scot who will call me lass.🥰. Now is the time to go through all the books written by Pepper Basham 😩.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. 

📖RATINGS: 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Isn't it great when you get so immersed in a book you don't want it to end? That's my favourite! - Ash :)

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 The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change?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