BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE BABY IS MINE

📖 BOOK TITLE: THE BABY IS MINE  📖AUTHOR: OYINKAN BRAITHWAITE  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #FourtyeighthBookOf2024 Wow, I love this quick read. I guess I will be on the lookout for more quick reads in between my normal TBR.  Short chapters, fast-paced 😍 everything I want in a book  📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: JUST ANOTHER MISSING PERSON

📖 BOOK TITLE: JUST ANOTHER MISSING PERSON  📖AUTHOR: GILLIAN MCALLISTER  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #FortySeventhBookOf2024  I first read McAllister's work early this year which is Wrong Place Wrong Time and I loved the book and it centered around the theme of motherhood and family.  So, in Just Another Missing Person, I was originally confused because it took some time to understand the characters because there were so many of them. This novel followed the same premise as Wrong Place, Wrong Time, and I liked it but not so much. It took me a bit to get into the plot; I'll admit that it was slow at first, but I needed to know what was going on. And as I got into the plot, it became too slow. 📖RATINGS: 3 STARS⭐⭐⭐ 📖QUOTES: ◇ ABC: Assume nothing, Believe nothing, Challenge everything

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: COUNTERFEIT

📖 BOOK TITLE: COUNTERFEIT  📖AUTHOR:  KIRSTIN CHEN  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #FourtysixthBookOf2024 I got into "Counterfeit" because of its vibrant cover. I didn't even read the blurb😂 but unfortunately, I didn't quite connect to the story, perhaps because of my novelty to the luxury bag industry. Gosh, I don't even know what a Birkin looks like 🤧. Forgive my novelty, but it is what it is. So my novelty toward luxury bag brands affected my view of this book. I couldn't understand the concept behind the counterfeit luxury bag industry. I also didn't understand why Ava felt the need to join Winnie in her scheme. She obviously has a husband she loves (I think), a child she adores, but whines a lot (and when I mean a lot,I mean a lot). Just my theory here: "People who have done everything by the rule tend to want to deviate a bit to see how things work out." 📖RATINGS:  2 STARS ⭐⭐ 📖QUOTES: ○ There is no shame in good, honest w...

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: ON ROTATION

📖 BOOK TITLE: ON ROTATION  📖AUTHOR: SHIRLENE OBUOBI  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #FourtyfifthBookOf2024 Angie has the discipline I so desire and I guess if she can do it why can't I!! Yes this is my Review 😌😌 📖RATINGS: 3 STARS ⭐⭐⭐ 📖QUOTES: □ Don’t think too hard about things. Just live in the moment . □ The secret to long-lasting love is simple. You wake up. You roll over and look at your wife. And you say to yourself, today, I will choose you. I will love you. And you keep doing that every single day until you die.
