The Outsider by Albert Camus

2.75

I felt the plot very distant to me.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

4.75

Phew! This book instilled a desire for developing games in me. I have never been inspired by any book to do something until I read this.

Although I hated the MCs half the time(especially Sadie), the plot was everything to stay for. Gabrielle Zevin, you genius! How can you make me a hate the book whole time but still managed to bring it onto the 5 star shelf. Well, 4.75. Taking away the .25 because I didn't feel Saidie and Marx where quite into each other. Wish there was more story about them so I could grieve with her.

Sam and Sadie, please make games again even if it's gonna make your life miserable. 

The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Book Lovers by Emily Henry

4.0

I liked this book. Emily Henry is good but idk at some point it felt like the author is trying too hard to give the characters trauma so the reader can relate. That felt very bland.

What's noteworthy is that, it's not your usual small town romance. It has a unique ending which i loved.

Emily's writing is so eloquent, comprehensive and damn hot for me. Love that tho <3

Such a warm read.🥹 So wholesome and naive. Inju and Paati caught me blushing and smiling.

Damn! That was a wild read. This book resonated with me a lot. Though I wish Murakami didn't write about breasts every now and then. Taking down a star for that.
