  • Book Exchange – How it works!

    Hey lovelies! I hope you’re doing well, because I am super excited to share this amazing concept of Book Exchange with you all! When I decided to give away my books, I received a lot of responses from people all over the world, and I was overwhelmed just because so many people are dying to read something, just like me! And then this thought occured to me, why not exchange books with fellow readers? I feel this is a better way than just giving books isn’t it? This way, both parties get to read something, a new book for everyone. Plus, there is the surprise factor! For an avid reader…

  • Book Review – The Fear – C.L.Taylor

    Hey world! How have you been? Today I am reviewing a book I just completed reading. It is called “The Fear” by C.L.Taylor. I started reading the book yesterday morning, and I can’t believe the book is already over by now! It is a fast paced, page turner. I give her that. Before I share my insights about the book, here is how the storyline goes.

  • Secret of Successful Marriage!

    Someone once remarked that everyone wants to know the secret of a successful marriage, yet no one seems to know it because it is a “well kept secret“! But you know what I like to believe? I believe, deep inside, everyone knows what that secret is, and maybe it is not so well practised! Discover new love and respect for each other, and let them grow every day! Marriage could be of any kind. Yours could have been an arranged one, or you’re married to your childhood sweetheart, or maybe a mix of both! As contemporary as our life has become, the “love before marriage” is a common and interesting…

#BookRecommendation #YouDeserveEachOther by @sara #BookRecommendation #YouDeserveEachOther by @sarah_hogle Genre: #RomCom #contemporaryromance Rating: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 and my heart ♥ I picked this book because the Blurb said they were already an engaged couple falling out of love and trying to get back again! I gotta say, I'm bored of reading love stories where the hero and heroine hit the wrong end when they meet, then slowly reconnect to become friends and then finally hook up. It's a bit blah for me, maybe because I'm getting a little old for cheesy plots! Gosh this book was just so refreshing and entertaining, not because it's your usual sexy, Romance novel. In fact, there's no sexy scenes, not until very late and no enduring romances. Just a lot of cute, sometimes-shocking pranks that the couple pull to annoy the hell out of each other. This bit was totally enthralling to me because I can see myself in Naomi. I'm married to a man who is almost very similar to Nicholas here. He's too perfect, too lovable and has too many friends and relatives that married to him feels very intimidating and unimportant. When the people from outside act like they know him so well, I'd want to scream at their faces saying "I'm his Goddamn wife and you can't know him better than I do!!". I think that's exactly how Naomi feels here. It takes so much effort to make a relationship work especially when the couple like each other and want to be around, no matter how crazy the other person could get! I did not expect to enjoy this book so much but did just that. Enjoyed it to the core especially when I was 38 weeks pregnant with my daughter. This book is witty, practical, refreshing and completely entertaining and totally recommended to the fans of contemporary romance fiction. QOTD: What is your current read? I'm reading @harlancoben's #theboyfromthewoods this weekend and enjoying it! 📚 #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookblog #bookblogger #bookblogging #booklover #bookreview #Review #bookreview #Romance #romanticcomedy #romcombooks #romancefiction #loveromance #romanceauthor #comedy #romanceauthorsofinstagram #love #peace #contemporaryfiction #humor #romancebooks #couplegoals #couples #cutecouples #lovestory #family
#Bookreview #TheWeekendAway by @sarahaldersonauth #Bookreview #TheWeekendAway by @sarahaldersonauthor Genre: #PsychologicalThriller #crimethriller The weekend Away When Orla and Kate decide to go on a weekend trip to Lisbon, it all seems like a good break they both deserved. Orla has just given birth after a long struggle and the gorgeous Kate just dumped her cheating husband. High time the girls took a break from the household and let off some air. So they reach Lisbon, have some drinks, visit a pub or two and come to their room. Next morning is a blur as a drunken Orla wakes up to find Kate missing. Is this some kind of a sick game she's playing? Or is Kate in genuine danger? How would Orla search for her in this strange country on her own? Should she call the cops? So many questions and no answers! Soon things escalate and Orla is left completely clueless, all by herself and everything else is a puzzle. Oh dear Orla, why would the author hate you so much to put you in such distress, I would never understand. Poor, poor Orla. I was actually rooting for her you know. Somehow her situation will get better, and she'd fight it with her wit and come up against the odds, I thought. But no, the author decided to let her down completely and drag the premise to an even more disturbing ending. It was a quick read for me. I finished reading the book in 3 hours tops and I'm still trying to shrug off the uneasiness it gave me. Orla had a string impact on me and I'm pretty sure I'll be having nightmares for a while. I've been reading a lot of holiday-themed thrillers lately, I believe it's trending these days with people trying to vent out the work pressure and such. Although these books rarely give the 'holiday feel' it always makes a nice binge read!

#nightfallsstillmissing by @hecallaghan Genre: My #nightfallsstillmissing by @hecallaghan Genre: Mystery #thriller Published July 2020 @michaeljbooks @penguinukbooks Madison is missing. When Archeologist Fiona Gray receives a frantic call for help from her friend who is currently working on a dig in Orkney, she reluctantly leaves her work behind to meet Madison. After reaching there, however, Madison does not come to recieve her nor she is at her temp cottage. Where is Madison and what is she playing at? The friends have had their hard times in the past, and Madison has got her moments but this is something else. None of her co-workers know anything about where she is gone and Fiona is finding it harder to find the trust nor to trust anyone around her in this strange, remote islet where everything is so dark and gloomy. If you are, like me, a fan of Archeology, then you'll find this book an interesting one. There is so much about the process of how they carry out a dig to excavate the buried treasures and how little the archeologists are funded for their vigorous hard work. The history is brilliantly linked with the findings on site and I completely loved those segments involving Archeology, which was a lot. Fiona's own investigation to find Madison takes a journey back to when the two became friends, through their uni days and how they both ended up choosing the same profession. Typical friendship which has ego, jealousy, betrayal, deceive but they would never give up on each other. A very interesting premise for a crime thriller. As a reader I enjoyed the double dhamaka - the archeology and the mystery behind Madison's disappearance. I did, however see the ending turning out as I guessed a few chapters prior and it felt a bit disappointing to the brilliantly laid first half of the book. All around, I enjoyed the pacy, suspense-filled experience the book gave me. Thanks to the publisher for my digital galley. All opinions are solely mine. 4 stars for Archeology & Suspense. 1 star down for the climax. #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookblog #bookpost #bookreview #Review #bookrecommendations #bookreviewer #crimethrillers #crimethrillerbooks #crimefictionaddict #darkthriller #scottishthriller
#thesparebedroom by @elizabeth_neep Genre: #conte #thesparebedroom by @elizabeth_neep Genre: #contemporaryromance #womensfiction My rating: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Out in July @bookouture Jess moves from London to Sydney to get over her ex and also to find herself a career and live independently. Though fate had different plans as she's now jobless, homeless and completely drenched in Sydney's rains. That's when she stumbles upon the handsome Sam, her ex boyfriend whose breakup took 3 years to get over. Sam asks her to move in with him in his spare bedroom and jess has no other option than to accept his offer. She's also secretly wishing Sam might take her back. After all, they were good for each other weren't they? Her one and only true love! Little did she know that Sam is now engaged to be married to his super hot, doctor fiance Jamie! A heartbroken Jess finds it all too tough to cope up without a job or a place to be and how strange it will be to share a house with your ex boyfriend and his fiance! Luckily, there are friends to help and lift her up whenever she makes terrible mistakes. The Spare Bedroom is the story of a woman's journey to find herself a career and ways to live independently. Written with an uplifting and lighthearted premise, I'll have to give it to the author's creativity of such a love triangle. Beautiful characters whom I wish I have met to befriend in my life. This is not your typical love story with a happily-ever-after ending. It's much more than that but be sure to pre-order it if you want a book to accompany you whenever you're a bit down and in need of a tad bit of humor, romance and motivation to raise your spirits. That's exactly what this book did to me. #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookblog #bookblogging #booklover #bookreview #bookrecommendations #romcom #motivation #uplifting #womensfictionwriters #love #peace #humor #friendship #relationshipgoals #relationship #cuteromance #romanceauthorsofinstagram #read #readerforlife #avidreader #bloggersofinstagram #bloggers #bloggerlife
