    Hello, dearies! 📖

    First off, let me tell you a bit of what you’ll encounter in this book review for Verity because I feel like some warnings are necessary.

    I gave it 4 stars to not give it 3 because that would affect the author, and I’m sure many love this book. And It’s not that I didn’t like it perse, but I didn’t enjoy it fully either. I gave it 4 out of 5 because it was well-written, and I thought, yes, I could read other books by this author.

    But this review is honest, as honest it can be without giving away the ending. I’m warning now and will be warning you further ahead that there are spoilers in this review, many if you don’t want to know anything before reading Verity like me. I read it without even looking at the genres of it.

    Let’s begin. 📝

  • The Promise of Rain

    The Promise of Rain

    Author: Shana Abe

    Genre: Historical Romance, Enemy-to-Lover, Medieval Romance, Adult (sort of)

    Happy Weekend, dearies! I hope you’re enjoying a great one.

    Today I finished The Promise of Rain, and said, wow, the difference between reading an enjoyable book and when I don’t. Why? Because I read this one so fast, I couldn’t get enough of it, I had to finish it and know all their secrets. Unlike when I read The King’s Obsession, which I started last year and finished not long ago.

    Anne Boleyn: A King’s Obsession

    Author: Alison Weir

    Genre: Historial Fiction, Tudor Period, Adult, Romance (so-so)

    3 ⭐+ 1

    Happy Weekend, dearies!

    I hope I will make this clear and not ramble on too much. My feelings about Anne Boleyn: A King’s Obsession are mixed, and I mean that for real. I had the highest of hopes for this book, and it did not turn out as I expected it to be.

    Let’s begin. 📜

    Spoilers ahead if you don’t know the story behind Anne Boleyn or The Tudor Family.

  • Voyeur Series

    Voyeur Series

    Author: Fiona Cole

    Genre: Adult fiction. Romance. New Adult.

    Where to start? I suppose from how I got here? Oh well, I first read the description for the sixth book in the series, Teacher, and was intrigued as hell, then I saw it was a whole series, and of course, I couldn’t read the last one first, so it began my journey.

    The Voyeur Series has 6 books and a short story that you can read for free here.

  • Beautiful Disaster: About the Book

    Beautiful Disaster: About the Book

    Author: Jamie McGuire

    Genre: Romance, New Adult, Contemporary, Fiction, YA

    Page Count: 432 pages

    Year Published: May 26, 2011

    Main Characters: Travis Maddox. Abby Abernathy.

    I cannot believe I don’t have a book review for Beautiful Disaster. And honestly, all that I remember is that I loved it at the time, despite being kind of a regular one, a romance, yes, but no fantasy in there. Yet, it hooked me for a time. 💞

    Now, there is a movie in the making, and for some reason, I am excited about it. I am not feeling the actors that much, but I want to watch. Filming ends this week, and Jamie has been giving us regular news on it, and it’s making me want to read the book again. There are two sides of Beautiful Disaster, from Abby’s point of view and from Travis’, and the one from Travis freaking Maddox was too much excitement. I mean, he is on my list of favourite male characters in books, so there, I admit that bad boys do hold their appeal.

  • The Duke and I

    The Duke and I

    ⭐⭐⭐

    Author: Julia Quinn

    Bridgertons Series Book 1

    Genre: Romance, Historical Romance, Regency, Adult (sort of)

    Guess what? This rarely happens to me, but it took me over a month to read The Duke and I, shocking! I know. 📖😵

    And I finish half the book in a night and a morning, with some hours of sleep in between and also like an hour of work thrown in there. I mean, it’s outrageous to believe that for the whole of February, I didn’t feel the need to pick up the book, and when I did, I often put it down after a few pages because I would drift very often and not know what I was reading, the words would not compute. 

    I’m sorry for this author, JQ, but maybe it’s something in her narrative, and I’m sorry for all the fans out there, but it’s the truth. Alright, alright. I will begin to talk a bit more about the plot and story and will also compare it with the Netflix show, I watched it before reading this. So… possible spoilers ahead.👀

    Let’s get this PoV started… I was so excited and I read with excitement up until some points at the end that had the capacity to slow my reading progress but at the same time I wanted to finish because I like the story as a whole, these books and movies were a big part of my life in the past and so I wanted to continue and see what Edward thought for sure, I didn’t expect him to be so mopey at times.

    Wuthering Heights

    Author: Emily Brontë

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I read this one a long time ago, as in years ago! So I cannot really say that my memories of it are that specific though I will try to make it justice.

  • The Darkest Star

    The Darkest Star

    Origin Series

    Author: Jennifer Armentrout

    Genres: YA. Fantasy. Romance. Totally F*ing Awesome

    This is not going to be easy. Also this is going to be so incredibly full of my really inner thoughts. Get ready.

    And then I was done. Wow. The last chapter was pretty normal, but before that everything was really heated. I will try to keep the spoilers to a minimum because I want you guys to read it without knowing the main events. However since the first chapters I have been stopping and writing little notes about the moments that got to me.
