"Hiss" by Amaya Ash is the first book in the Unmagic Trilogy which is a fantasy series.
I've never read fantasy and didn't know what to expect but I did enjoy this experience.

The Bell Jar is a book that grabs you, jerks you out of your life and slams you onto the cold floor of reality, a reality of a mentally ill person.This book is like a painful pleasure.It is unparalleled; something I have never read before.I knew it would be something different because it was Sylvia Plath's (duhh) and I was not at all shocked at whatever my eyes saw and lips read.
Men without women by Haruki Murakami is a collection of short stories, seven in total, each having men literally without women, having loneliness and melancholy, having heartbreaks and emptiness and simply "nothingness".
Inferno by Dan Brown is a mystery novel (thriller), which I was pretty excited to pick because the last thriller I read, was some five years ago.
Hyperfocus by Chris Bailey, a productivity expert, is a book that this modern world direly needs. It is a well crafted piece and is worth a read.

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman is too good to be a debut novel.You'll hear people say it's the most boring book ever, you'll hear people say it's a masterpiece, believe them both because that's exactly what it is!It's tough to tell whether you like it or dislike it.

Reclaim Your Heart by Yasmin Mugahed is stunning inside out. The book cover is alluring. The words written in there are a reminder, an awakening, an enlightenment. After reading this book, everything makes sense, every little thing, the pain, the troubles, the desperation, the emptiness we feel as humans, everything! It fills your heart with hope. The words hit you hard and bring you back to the 'purpose'. This book gives a sense of direction. It answers the deepest concerns in a beautiful way. It talks about the needs of soul. I love the way how the author added ayahs and ahadees to make everything even more logical. This book is a must-read!

✨Favorite lines: When you try to dig in concrete with your bare hands: not only you come back with nothing---you break your fingers in the process.
