Hi everyone! I'm really sorry for being MIA for a long time, but I'm back! Life Update: I have recently read a lot of books and now I'm here to provide some reviews so that you all will be able to decide your next read carefully. Also, I bought a new Kindle Oasis which I'm in love with.  Life has surely been very tough for the past few months, for not only me but for the majority of us, and all credits go to the infamous CORONA VIRUS. Also, I hope each and every one of you have been keeping safe during these hard times.  I have been living alone for the past few months and trying to get by. My social life seems to have hit a new low since I started working from home. But it has also given me extra time to read and do all the things I love. Its technically making lemonade out of the lemons life has given us. Now getting back to the main topic- without further ado, here is a brief review of  "Beach Read" by Emily Henry. Blurb: A roma...

Click here to purchase a copy from Amazon . Book: Not If I See You First Author: Eric Lindstrom  Publisher: Harper Collins Pages: 405 Genre: Young Adult and Contemporary  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/ 5 Recommend: Yes   "Don’t treat me like I’m stupid or a child. Blind doesn’t mean brain damaged." Snapshot:  Parker Grant is an average high school student, and she doesn't need her vision to see what the other person is up to. This story is not about blindness. It is about a girl who is blind. To survive in this world, Parker has some rules like  Rule #1: Don't deceive her, especially using her blindness, especially in public Rule #2: Don't touch her without asking or warning her, she can't see it coming, and she will always be surprised and will probably hurt you.  . . Rule #INFINITY: There is no second chance. Betrayal is unforgivable. When Scott Kilpatrick (the guy who broke her trust) returns to her life, she tried her ...

Click Here to purchase a copy from Amazon. Book : Ella Enchanted  Author: Gail Carson Levine Publisher: Harper Collins  Pages: 239 Genre: Fantasy and Fiction  My Rating: 3.75/5 stars  Recommend: Definitely yes! When Ella was born, she was bestowed with a gift of obedience and the unwary fairy Lucinda didn't realize that she lay a curse on her. Now Ella will always be obedient to others and listens to every order directed to her; finish the cake, hop on one foot, kill the prince, betray her kingdom. She is waiting to be free from the curse so, she can be herself and has the power to say no.  "My gift is obedience. Ella will always be obedient. Now stop crying, child." I stopped. Review: As a child, I loved reading fairy tales, but with time it occurred to me that fairy tales usually dispirit women and expect them to behave like a typical princess and someday a prince will save her from misery. Ella Enchanted is a re-telling...

Illuminae Review Blurb:   This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she  swore  she'd never speak to again. ...

[CONTD.] Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Titan's Curse (Rick Riordan)   It's not every day you find  yourself in combat with  a Half- Lion, Half- Human. But when you're the son of a Greek god, it happens. And now my friend Annabeth is missing, a goddess is in chains and only five half-blood heroes can join the  quest to defeat the doomsday monster. Oh, and guess what. The oracle has predicted  that not all of us will survive... Thoughts:   Oh god. These books just keep getting better. By the end of The Sea of Monsters, I sold my soul to Percy Jackson and I got so committed to the story that I decided to ditch every other book that I was reading and continued to complete the series. I read this book in a day or two. Did I tell you that I love Percy? No? I DO, with all my heart!!! Anyway, we get new characters in this book, and like the other books in the series, it is full of action! Out of all the books, I liked ...

Arrrghhhh... PERCY JACKSON!!! Okay. I've had this book since a really long time, but never read it because? I seriously can't remember the reason anymore. I cannot believe I've waited this looooong to get to this book, because this book is everything! So to start, the best thing I like about this series is that it's set in the 21st century, so it's relatable (well not in a demigod-ish camp-halfblood way). The character development is amazing, and so is the friendship development. Also the way this story just molds with Greek Mythology and has so much greek elements to it is just so fascinating. All those Greek Gods and stuff! This book is about a boy named Percy Jackson who has special needs. He is dyslexic and has ADHD (but there's a reason for that). His father is Poseidon –YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!! THE FRIGGING GOD OF THE  SEA (how cool is that?).  So he's dyslexic because his brain is 'hard-wired' to read ancient Greek and ADHD is jus...
