Love by Numbers: A Scarlet Series Book by Lani Young
4.0
This is a quick novella about samoan woman and man. And it was veryyy cute. The FMC has many disability notably autism, and sensibility to the touch, smell… she’s misunderstood by everyone until she meets our MMC and they quickly fall in love, get together and live happily ever after. He loves everything about her 🥺.
Reading about the setting/country/culture made me want to visit Samoa 🥹🥹
Just a psa : the romance is very insta love so don’t expect slow burn.
Psa2 : i very rarely like novellas because i find it doesn’t make sense to fall in love this quickly, however in this book it made total sense that Jacob fell for Tamarina like this.

Puck Pact by Kristen Granata
2.0
I know better than to trust a book named puck pact. Unfortunatly i did lol. What surprised me was the MMC was such a green flag, askq and cares for consent, however the FMC was different, and in wanting to make her someone who doesn’t believe in love, the author made her an annoying character who literally said to the MMC when he refuses to have sex with her when she was drunk “You’re better than me. I’d totally take advantage of you if you were drunk.” excuse me what ???
It’s always weird for me when female authors who know how important consent is write this kind of characters !

Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong
4.0
It didn’t start strong. For around 200 pages i felt as if i’m reading book 1 again and that bothered me and annoyed me. Then the pace picked up and i couldn’t put the book down.
I would say I’m disappointed a bit with the ending because lots of loose plot point were left without answers. And some events that happened at the ending didn’t make sense.

We Free the Stars by Hafsah Faizal
4.0
I loved the second book just as much as i did the first one. The characters are amazing and i love the interactions between them. And it’s so heartwarming seeing the progress they made and the long way they came.
Something bothered me a bit and it was the miscommunication between Zafira and Nasir sometimes i just wanted to grab them and force them to confess their feelings to each other lol. Nonetheless whenever it was Nasir’s chapter he would blow me away with his beautiful poetic feelings about Zafira.
Anyway it’s a nice duology and i would recommend it.
Ps: Altair 🤌🤌🤌🤌

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
3.5
I enjoyed it a lot at first it was fun being confused and it wasn’t boring because we were discovering everything. And then i got bored because same things kept being repeated and then we reached the part of Matthiew and what he wrote. To know something about me i don’t enjoy reading pages of things that happened in the past i prefer living them so then i got veryyyyyy bored xD and then it suddenly picked up and i couldn’t put down the last 70pages.
To resume i liked it discovering this book and reading something different, it was a good reading experience. The book was also good specially since a friend of mine told me it was written during covid so you could feel how Piranesi was living is what we all lived during that time.

The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston

I LOVED THIS BOOK !!!
OMG the romance is the cuteeeeeest ! It’s time travel kinda of romance. Clementine lives in her aunt’s apartment, this apartment is kinda magic because sometimes it takes uou exactly 7 years in the past and that’s what happens to Clementine. Except when she finds her self in her apartment 7 years prior she’s not alone because Iwan is there…
This was sooo beautifully written and sooo romantic 🥺🥺👍

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
3.0
a very well written and beautiful book it broke me because i got attached to the characters. However whil reading solething kept nagging at me and didn't let me enjoy the book which was the fact that the French were colonising Algeria at the same time, and it felt like feeling sympathie towards the enemy. It could have been a 5⭐️ but because of that it's a 3⭐️. I would say i didn't expect the ending and it made me cry so much.
Leaders start wars and then the innocents pay the price! Fuck them

Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa
5.0
Susan Abulhawa books break my heart 💔💔💔💔💔
I loved how in this book we see another facade of Palestinian men. Men who love their wives, daughters, sisters and would do anything for them. It broke my heart seeing Amal not understanding why her mother was that way and then after all the heartbreak and tragedies she went to she transformed into her mother. Honestly it was very difficult reading this book and specially the ending. Doing parallels with wars and genocides committed by Israel against Palestinians from 1948 to 1990s and between the genocide they are committing now just breaks your heart more. It means that the world failed the Palestinians constantly for 75years 💔.
If you had any doubt that this started in oct 7th go and read some books.
