I've got goosebumps from reading the introductionโ€”from that moment on I knew that this book was written for me. It felt like that Lari and I are the same person. 

I'm so obsessed with the storyline, with Larina and Sean. I couldn't put down the book, I kept thinking about the story. And in the same time I wanted it to last forever. From the very beginning, I had a feeling this would become an all-time favorite and I was so right.

I can't wait to read the continuation, I'm so glad this is a trilogy because I need more. It was so adventurous and seriously addictive. A masterpiece through and through.

Lari is literally the sweetest person ever and so incredibly talented. I'm so happy that I finally picked up a book by her and I highly recommend checking it out! And don't forget to follow her. She's amazing! ๐Ÿ’š

DNF at 42%

This book wasn't terrible but it was definitely a struggle the entire time. It was so hard for me to get into the story but then I needed to realize at 42% that I spent too much time with the book. Days, when it's only 208 pages long. And I just haven't cared about any of these characters or the storyline. I felt indifferent even when a character died and I struggled to pick up the book and read. And the writing style wasn't for me either.

Life is way too short to spend days on a book I'm not even enjoying when I could read something so much better in the meantime. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

This was the sweetest, most magical Christmas novellaโ€”filled with warmth and love. Dorian and Ansel are so strong; theyโ€™ve been through so much, yet despite the darkness in their pasts, they choose each other every single day. They fight for one another and love each other so deeply.

A Walk In The Woods: The World's Funniest Travel Writer Takes a Hike by Bill Bryson

5.0

Bill Bryson is one of my favorite authors. I forgot just how funny his writing style really is. Nonfiction books are one of my favorites and I'm so glad this got to be my first one in 2025. Bryson is always a breath of fresh air and even when telling about something serious I can't stop laughing by his humor. If you love nature, especially hiking and craving for something hilarious, I highly recommend you checking out this fabulous read. It makes you feel like you're on the hike with Bryson. 

Also the audiobook was really good as well, I enjoyed doing an immersive reading experience, I literally couldn't put down this book! I heard this even got adopted into a movie, I haven't watched it yet but I'm definitely intrigued.

Ahhh, I loved Flora so muchโ€”she was the absolute sweetest! And Draven? So protective and perfect. They were flawless together. And Bubbles as her nickname? Literally the cutest thing ever!

Wow, this was so good!

A man who reincarnated himself to become a serial killer who never gets caught - what a fascinating and unique concept. I was completely hooked and couldnโ€™t put this novel down. It was an utterly intriguing read with a deeply satisfying ending.

I highly recommend it to all horror readers out there!

๐‚๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‡๐š๐ญ๐ž is a horror anthology revolving around hate. I only enjoyed one story from this collection unfortunately and if I could rate that separately then I would give it a 4โญ. The others were quite underwhelming honestly, it was a difficult read to get through because of that and it took me way longer than it should have been.

This was so disappointing. The ending, along with every twist, only made the story worse and worse. The characters felt flat, and every decision the main character made was completely unreasonable. The storyline was just unbelievably unrealistic, and the dysfunctional family trope didnโ€™t work for me either.

I donโ€™t like leaving bad reviews, but this was just horrible. So far, ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐š ๐Œ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ž๐ซ is the worst book Iโ€™ve read in 2025. ๐Ÿ˜ž
