  • All the best Netflix TV series worth watching right now

    Hey guys! I have been away for a week, and guess what I’ve been doing? I’ve got myself cozied up with a bunch of reader’s copies of brand new books, and a handful of shows on the beloved NETFLIX. Now, Netflix is one hot shot, isn’t it? Surely, it offers something for everyone. But, the catalogue is vast, and you’re most likely to end up watching something boring, and then quit after few minutes of watching. That’s why you’ll need a guide of TV shows or movies or documentaries. There is also a lot of hype going on, and surely, you’d have heard a lot of reviews about every show…

Qotd: What are you reading this weekend? 📚 Hi Qotd: What are you reading this weekend? 📚

Hi friends, how are you doing? Have you been reading anything new? So many great books coming out and it's very hard to keep up 😃 I've been binge reading some fantastic new books and cannot wait to shout out about them. Last night I finished swooning over #theboyfriendcandidate and here are all my thoughts!!

Tropes: politics, opposites attract, closed proximity
Steam: ⭐⭐
Character development: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Overall: ⭐⭐⭐.5 

Thoughts 💬
I'm a huge fan of Ashley Winstead books and have read all her thrillers and this is the first time I'm picking up one of her romance ones. I'm surprised to see the contrast she creates in her style and it's almost unrecognizable!! Ashley's books are all about details and I can see a lot going on here as well. 

The Boyfriend Candidate is about Alexis and her bold move to do a one night stand with a complete stranger and things go from South from there. The person she meets at the bar is none other than the governor candidate, hot and handsome Logan Arthur and he definitely isn't up for relationships. But the media circus forces them to fake date until the election day and the chaos and drama begins. 

The MCs spend much time with their family and friends rather than with each other, hence very little scenes involving the two of them. Also, too much details for a romcom I'd say. I did love the chemistry and wanted more than offered. I was able to binge read this within a day. Very pacy and entertaining.

Have you read #ashleywinstead books yet? She's so talented and I can't wait to read her next thriller!!! Happy reading folks ☺️📚🕵️😱💬
Qotd: Are you a #harlancoben fan? 🕵️📚 Ho Qotd: Are you a #harlancoben fan? 🕵️📚 

Hola friends, how's your week shaping up? Mine's splendid so far cuz I'm all cuddled up with the newest HC thriller and it's going so good so far!! I'm always excited when the author gives a standalone thriller and this one is as pacy and action filled as you'd expect from a Harlan Coben thriller ride! 😎🦹‍♀️

#iwillfindyou follows a desperate father's journey as he receives the mind-blowing news that his son, (whose murder took place 5 years ago, for which he's currently serving life sentence in a max security prison!!) might still be alive and he decides he'd do everything in his power (which is very little!) to find his son, beginning with an adventurous prison break and much more!!! 😉😃📚

And so the ride begins. I'm soo engrossed and loving all the action so far. Have you read this book yet? It's out in the world now. So, why don't you pick it up at once? I'd love to hear your thoughts!! 💬

Happy reading folks.
Qotd: What's your last 5 ⭐ read? Lisa Jewell d Qotd: What's your last 5 ⭐ read? 

Lisa Jewell does it yet again and this time it's an easy 5 ⭐ dark and riveting psychological suspense with all the elements put together in a very interesting format. Could easily be her best one so far!! 

#noneofthisistrue comes out in July and it follows Alix Summers a podcaster whose chance encounter with a weird woman called Josie Fair on her birthday changes the course of her life. Told from some very interesting formats including scripts from Audio recordings and Netflix Documentary, @lisajewelluk paints a vivid yet disturbing picture of this strange story that gives the warning to be cautious when spoken to strangers, although they look plain and harmless. Looks can be deceptive and no one knows what's happening in another person's life! 😱👽 

Not gonna be giving away more of the story but jump in blind and you'd be blown away, quite literally. Happy reading folks! 🤗📚
Hey friends, how's everyone doing? I've just finis Hey friends, how's everyone doing? I've just finished reading #howillkillyou by @laurendestefanoauthor and here are my thoughts!! 💭

Genre: #psychologicalthriller
#mystery #thriller 

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨/5
Published: March 21, 2023

Thoughts 💭
This book surprised me in ways I did not see coming. Mainly because the narrator is so goddamned crazy that I can never guess what she'd do next. I had to read more to know how it all ends. Job well done by Ren Destefano! 

Read if you like: 
🦹‍♀️killer women
👽 Unreliable narrator
💭 Stories following identical siblings
💥 Cliffhangers

Firstly, this is a women centric serial killer trope with a twist. I'm not gonna go deep into the story and spoil the fun for you all but it's so much more fun if you just dive into the book blindly and see what's brewing(much like the victims in the story!!!😱). 

The author did a convincing job of giving us a single narrator (times three!!) who is a crazed lunatic and a psychotic killer who dreams of killing her lover in impossible ways and disposing of the evidence in thin air. The details are very important for the author and she provides them in bits and pieces like salt and pepper, which are very important for a meal but to be added in sufficient amounts to make it a perfect dish! 

I was so engrossed in the book and really enjoyed the style of Ren's prose. It was dark, witty, raw and brutal and equally emotional. I was also very curious to know how she'll take the story further because it gets so messy in the middle and the author does a fantastic job of giving the story the ending it deserves, although some might not approve it to be a very practical one. But, hey it's fiction at its best. Enjoy it! 

Qotd: So, what are you reading now? 📚🕵️
