The Five People You Meet in Heaven-Mitch Albom♡

Happy New Year!!!

Good day Bibliophiles

I promised you this review so here it is. . .

I have a new favorite book of all time.

This book is more than just a fictional title, this book made me stop and think of all of the interactions I have had with people that I have come into contact with.

The Five People You Meet in Heaven follows the story of an elderly mans life and death. This man goes by the name "Eddie", often called Eddie Maintenance because of his name tag. Eddie dies while trying to save a little girl at his place of work, and thus starts a journey through Heaven. In his heaven, he meets five people, some strangers, some people he knows very well. These five people teach him lessons and help him understand the impact he may have had in their lives, and the impact they had on his.

What did we love about it?

Mitch Albom is a great writer! I got through this book in three days and this is because I really needed to know who Eddie was going to meet next in heaven and why! It was also really important for me to know what happened to the little girl that Eddie was attempting to save😞

What did we not love?

Whats not to love! I loved every bit of it so much so, that I have started reading the sequel "The Next Person You Meet in Heaven"

Favorite Quotes?

“Holding anger is a poison...It eats you from inside...We think that by hating someone we hurt them...But hatred is a curved blade...and the harm we do to others...we also do to ourselves.”

“There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind...”

“You have peace," the old woman said, "when you make it with yourself.”

James Patterson- Middle School The Worst Days Of My Life

A good day to you Bibliophiles! today I did something a little different as you can see! I have wondered about my sisters obsession with James Patterson's 'Middle School' books and today I finally got it. We watched Middle School:The Worst Years Of My Life based on one of James Patterson's books, I have to say I thought I would hate it but turns out in a couple of hours I would be blogging about it! So basically this particular book and movie is about a character named Rafe who has been expelled from two schools, his last option is a middle school that has too many rules that he cant understand or come to terms with. According to my sister and according to the movie he constantly communicates with a guy called Leo. It is Leo's character that caught my attention , at first Leo looks like that friend that's always by your side, helps you make plans and keeps your head in the game. While watching the movie my sister kept complaining about how different ev

Novels in Verse hmmm? "We Come Apart"-Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan

Hello fellow book lovers! So this week I came across my first Novel In Verse! Titled: "We Come Apart" Written by Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan . I wont lie to you, for the mere fact that it was the first time that I had ever read a novel with this structure, it took me a day or two to get into the book. However, I quickly fell in-love with the characters, the story and the structure. The book is split into three parts and as mentioned the structure is in verse. We come apart has two main characters, Nicu who has emigrated from Romania, and is awaiting to be married without his consent. The second main character is Jess who comes from a home plagued with domestic violence, her mother is dating a man named Terry who is abusive in many different ways, and he often goes to the extent of making Jess film the abuse. Jess and Nicu have their daily struggles which bring them together and which also stand to separate them. What I loved about most

First post cant be less than "Everything Everything"

Everything Everthing -Nicola Yoon “Sometimes I reread my favorite books from back to front. I start with the last chapter and read backward until I get to the beginning. When you read this way, characters go from hope to despair, from self-knowledge to doubt. In love stories, couples start out as lovers and end as strangers. Coming-of-age books become stories of losing your way. Your favorite characters come back to life.” ― Nicola Yoon , Everything, Everything This amazing book was referred to me by a friend and colleague, and I must add that I did not need much convincing after watching a snippet of the trailer of the movie that cannot come soon enough. this book only took me a day to read because of its structure, its super reader friendly and really grabs your heart and doesn't let you go. Without giving any of the goodness away, this young adult fiction novel looks at the life of Madeline "Maddy" Whittier who suffers from a
