A Man Called Ove-Fredrik Backman

Fun fact: I am in love with old people, everyone who knows me will verify this information and probably tell you about my desires to eat them all up [insert Gasp]!

Okay at this point I have elaborate on my desires to gobble old people up. It's not some crazy canabilistic desire, I just think the elderly are amazing human beings, kind hearted,full of wisdom, full of life. . .because they've lived most of it♥. I just want to squeeeeze them and have tea and share jam biscuits and talk about their lives😊.

Anyway getting back to why we're here! I read this beautiful book called "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman. This book is about a grumpy old man called Ove who loses his will to live after his wife dies. Everyday is a good day to die for him which obviously broke my heart. I really can't tell you more because I'll be giving too much away and I don't think that's fair because this is a beautiful book that will have your heart breaking, will have you smiling and feeling warm hearted.

I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did♥.

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 lo...

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...

The Invitation-Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Good Day Bibliophiles! For as long as I can remember I have always been a little interested in the idea if meditating. The idea that I had the capability to really silence my mind for a few minutes, completely silence the hustle and bustle of life, background noise and everything in between. I am happy to say that Oriah Mountain Dreamer has made this even the tiniest bit possible for me. A few months ago, when I was on my mission to silence my mind for a bit and truly relax even for a little bit, I searched and searched for the right way to do this. I searched on Youtube, asked around and finally took a look around to see if I could find any books. It took a while, it was difficulty to find a book that I could truly understand on this topic. Thankfully I came across a quote by this author in one of Oprah's books, I cant for the life of me remember which book , or what this particular quote was. . . clearly I am getting old 😉?. Anyway I did some research ...
