A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
Rating 4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5/5
I've read a lot of negative reviews about this book of the series, but for me it was a good, quick read.
Giving it a 4.5 rating. It could have been longer and could have had more depth to each characters, after all that has happened with the previous books, this one felt like a breath of fresh air. And as I've mentioned, it would have been better if SJM took this opportunity to further open the other characters' story lines, or even prolong the story of when Feyre started the art school. A lot of story line opportunities missed, but still I loved reading every bit of it, I enjoyed reading mostly because it felt like I belong in the inner circle *hehe*
Currently reading ACOSF..

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
2.0
Rating ⭐⭐/5
I don't know if I read a different version of the book that everyone loved so much, but this wasn't it for me. I would have loved this book if it was just about The Six. I remember reading it so fast 'cause I just wanted to get it over with. The narration style was not for me, maybe because I was reading Fire and Blood while reading this one, and GRRM would roll his eyes if I compare this to his, but all that aside, the writing felt too beginner for a book everyone raves about. I feel like I would like it if it was written differently.
Only giving this two stars for Camila and Karen.

Tales from the Café by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
One of the many reasons this series is lovely for me– the character storyline.
Even though there are new characters on this book, I love how they are all interconnected, hence reading it feels nostalgic. And it feels as if you are part of the story as it unfolds.
One of my favorite series to date.

..this is a big hug in the form of a book.
*Spoilers ahead*
"The afterword on the last page of What If The World Were Ending Tomorrow? One Hundred Questions that Reiji had read until it had become old and tattered was as follows.
Something I strongly believe in is that we mustn't allow the death of a person to be the cause of unhappiness. The reason for that is simple: if we let everyone who dies be a cause for unhappiness, that would mean people are being born to become unhappy. But the opposite of the fact is true. People are always born for the sake of happiness."
This hits hard home.
One of the best series of this genre I've read so far. I don't think I've cried this much reading an ending of a book. The fact that the book they were reading was written by Yukari Tokita, and that it was only revealed at the very last page– wow, that made me bawl, and when I tell you, I cried, I ugly cried.
Reading this book, I might be biased due to my current situation with what happened with my dad, but this was a hug. A big hug in the form of a book. There are new characters in this book and some reviews might say that, the cycle of the story line is very repetitive, I think they read it very light, if you dive in, and really dive in, the characters– those who sits on the chair, have their own journey, reasons, and it makes the book feel more raw, more real life.
If you're still thinking if this read is worth it, it is.
And I can't wait to read the next one, how I wish November comes in faster.
