Every Poem a Potion, Every Song a Spell by Stephanie Parent

3.5

It is a good book just not my style... Her ideas are very innovative but not very gripping doesnt make you want to keep reading... Its missing that part.

Gregor Samsa a gentlemen, breadwinner of his family wakes up one day suffering from bad dreams only to discover that he has transformed into a gigantic insect.
The metamorphosis is not just about how Gregor has transformed into an insect, a lot more has transformed along with his shape. Apparently the new form of Gregor is so utterly repulsive that none of his family members wish to bear a sight of their own son or brother.

How did Taylor think of this? The question pounds my head as I think this book had the most amazing plot twist I have ever read! The detail put into writing this book- I have no words. This book had me staring at the ceiling and has me writing this review at 3:29 in the morning. (I have to wake up at 6)
The book is about Evelyn Hugo being a kind hearted, vicous, smart, emotional, powerful all in all a human being at vore no matter how glamorous and unhuman she seemed. And though I wasnt in love with Monique's character in the beginning I loved it in the end.
This book is perfectly written. Not a flaw. Not a part where I thought "if this part was different I would like it more". 
I loved this book, its complexities, charaters, words and even the cover deeply. I don't know why I ignored it for months. Evelyn Hugo was a mastermind. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a mastermind.

4.0

This book really gave insight to the mysterious mind of Warner and I highly recommend reading it, I really like reading persepectives of multiple characters and I feel like separating the books persepective-wise is a good idea. 
The way Warner thinks at the start of the book is different from the end and his thinking process seems extremely normal and real and psychopathic at the same time. It's super well written and natural at the same time.

And I just love how she wrote Warners thoughts at the start of the book and progressed it. In the beginning Warner really didnt accept that he was falling then he geadually started thinking abt her more and by the end after his dream he accepted tht he had fallen and also love the very end when he's petting a dog it really shows tht reading her journal and falling in love with her made him more human.

Wisdom Tales by Ashok Sachdeva

This book is about a group of female animals who meet up and tell each other fables and provide common-sense like morals which can be useful to children to develop their thinking abilities. These wisdom fables revolve around the prestigious Akbar and Bribal who pose as good figures for children to take inspiration from. I'm in grade 8 and was basically forced into reading this from school, its very clearly a book for children below 7 and I read 18+ so I give this book a solid 0 stars.

Extremely fast-paced book with lots of shocks!!! I was reading this as an ebook so while finishing the book I didn't even realise I had read the epilogue, so when the book finished I just thought "that's it?" I didn't even realise the book was over it felt really short and the ending didn't really feel like it was the ending of a book. Any how I love this book I think Tahereh's writing is absolutely amazing and honestly felt addicting to read. I have exams in 2 days but I was still stuck on reading this book instead. I love the plot and Im definately gonna be reading the next book very soon!!!
