Fuck. That was brutal. I cried so many times. I sobbed at least 3 times. This is heart wrenching.

Look, this wasn't that good. There were a few editing errors and I never liked the characters. I probably won't read another book by this author.

The Lucky Girl Journal: A Guided Workbook to Embody the Lucky Girl Syndrome by Keila Shaheen

hopeful reflective relaxing slow-paced

3.0

I got this book as part of Libro.FM's influencer's program. I was really looking forward to this book but it fell flat for me. This book felt like an ad for her meditation app and it got annoying every time she advertised her app. The book content in interesting and I appreciated some of the ideas behind this book but this was mainly a "book" that focused on lead meditations which I was not expecting. This is not a book you can read while doing other things because of all of the meditations that were used. 

The concept of this book was great but honestly, I'm not scared to read the Shadow Journal for fear it will be filled with even more advertisements for her app.

Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

I’m not the right reader for this book. It just isn’t holding my attention and it is moving way too slow. I have it at 2.3 x speed and It isn’t holding my attention.
