More Than We Can Tell-Brigid Kemmerer

Good day Bibliophiles!!!

As you all know Jennifer Niven's-All the bright Places is my favorite book of all time! The book I'm going to be blogging about today is a close second. More Than We can Tell by Brigid Kemmerer is my close second for many reasons.

lets start with the blurb shall we. . .

Everyday Rev struggles with the memories and demons of the time before he was adopted. He's always managed just fine, until a letter from his birth father brings hellfire, fear and danger back into his life.

Emma escapes her life in an online game she built herself. Virtual reality is so much easier than real life. But then another player joins the game and suddenly ultra-violent threats start to stream in. . .

When Rev and Emma meet, they are fighting a darkness they cant put into words. But somehow they hear each other and together they might be able to find a way out.

This book touches on quite a few issues that are prevalent in society today, these issues include child abuse, organized religion, cyber bullying and online sexual harassment. These issues are what kept me reading because they were explained really well and relate able in some way or another. I enjoyed all characters mentioned especially Rev Fletcher's character, you could feel the push and pull of emotions and you could make it your own. This is definitely a book worth reading, I giggled in some parts, pleaded with Rev in others and sighed disappointingly in many parts.

What did we love?

The topics and or issues discussed, I loved this book because the content was relevant to today's society. This book was also really well written, I read every single page, some I read over twice😶☺️.

What did we not love?

I really wish I read Letters To The Lost before I read More Than We Can Tell because Declan and Juliet make an appearance in this book and I caught a few spoilers about Letters to the Lost which was a little heart breaking to say the least!

Happy New Year!!! Good day Bibliophiles I promised you this review so here it is. . . I have a new favorite book of all time.

Have a craft beer while you read your favorite novel?

Blackhorse Cider Image by Noluthando The Craft Beer Library Hello fellow Bibliophiles!, Just a week ago I was in Linden with my boyfriend trying out something new at an eatery called the "Craft Beer Library" situated in Linden. It is known for it's wide variety of craft beers and it's delicious food to pair with it. Now I know you're trying to piece together how this would be a great environment to read a book? Trust me when I say, the thought crossed my mind while sitting at my table, with my pink cider, on how perfect of an environment this would be for my future escapes!. I must add that my judgement could be based on the time of day that I arrived and spent at the CBL, which was around 12 pm to about 2pm during the day; nonetheless it was an amazing environment, beautiful interior and the sun was shining. I cannot end this blog post without giving you a little insight on my meal. I ordered "The Hogshead" which is pulled pork on a crunchy...

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...
