A grand finale to a grand series. Finally, after years and hours of listening to the audiobook, I’m glad I was able to finish the series. I liked the final book much more than the second one. But my favorite will still be the first book of the series, because of the fact that thereContinue reading “The Book of Life (Book #3 of All Souls Trilogy) by Deborah Harkness – Audiobook thoughts”

The History of Love by Nicole Krauss – Book Thoughts
“One thing that struck me most about life, is the capacity for change. One day you’re a person, and the next day they tell you you’re a dog. At first it is hard to bear, but after a while you learn not to look at it as a loss. There’s even a moment when itContinue reading “The History of Love by Nicole Krauss – Book Thoughts”

Trigger Warnings in the book: Rape, Alcohol Abuse I just finished reading this love story and it was a romance quite unlike anything I’ve read before.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz – Thoughts

To go through their journey ofContinue reading “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz – Thoughts”
Spin The Dawn by Elizabeth Lim – Thoughts
Have you ever been in a situation where you’re reading a book and the surroundings or the situation you’re in, just intensifies the effect the story has on you?
