Brief Opinion

And as I've promised last week, I'm back with my book reviews! Excuse me a moment, I feel emotional. 

But yeah, this book is a great thing to talk about for my comeback as a reviewer. There is so much to say I don't know where exactly to begin. Psychological thrillers are my favourite genre, and if it's a well-written stalker/obsession-love themed story, I'd be like 

Like literally, God bless the authors who have slain this genre and who have gifted us hours of blissful insight into a psychopath's mind (very few authors, by the way). I find it really fascinating to read stories like this, with huge creep factors, crazy sanitarium people, love that turns to obsession, all that mastermind planning, shocking plot twists, and more. 

I mean, it's not like I am in for those things in real life, but at the end of the day, this is all fiction. So, no harm done, right?

In ''Because She Loves Me'', there is everything that makes a brilliant stalker novel. And it is with the deepest regret that I give this awesome book which I couldn't put down until I was done a 7 star score. The gult is so big that it feels like I'm apologizing as if I was the author myself. 

But no, honestly Mark Edwards' writing was superb and outstanding and it was a pleasure to have read that book! And yet, it is the ending, which I believe, was the ultimate downfall of this masterpiece of a story. I love it and I hate it. Without giving away to many details, all I can say is that the plot twist element was a good one and so unexpected, but I wish it didn't happen.

I've had this book on my ''Someday'' list for a long time, and Ed Sheeran finally convinced me to get up and read it. I watched the trailer of the movie that is about to come out and the next day I found myself buying the book on my Kindle. And all the time I spent reading, the movie soundtrack by Ed Sheeran, ''Photograph'', was stuck in my mind. Even though I only heard the song two times and couldn't remember all the lyrics, and I loved the song so much that it might have influenced how much I enjoyed the book. So yes, whatever I'm writing next may or may not be biased.
(Not to mention that the choice of casting Sam Clafflin as Will Traynor already looks really promising!)
If you're looking to read ''Me Before You'', I really recommend listening to ''Photographs'' by Ed Sheeran first. Here it is:

Confession: I read it in a rush because I had so much to do but I couldn't put it down! So I did not have time to analyse the details as I usually do with all my books.

''Love Muffin and Chai Latte'' by Anya Wylde

I decided to dip my feet in the comedy genre when I found this book and read about how brilliant Anya Wylde is with her writing. Must I say, I was not disappointed! She didn't wait to showcase her magic and immediately had me laughing from the first chapter. The things the main character, Tabby, gets herself into are absolutely hilarious and absurd! She also has a quick sense of humor and is quite clever. 

This is the first book I've read that is written by Anya Wylde and I couldn't put it down. It is a brillant comedy romance novel, with really great humor and less drama. Reading this book was like relaxing and listening to a friend talk about their good times. 

''Love Muffin and Chai Latte'' is one of those books that has a unique charisma and a light aura that makes it such a relaxing read without much suspence.  Or perhaps it just feels different to me because I'm not used to comedy-romance genre minus the mystery or supernatural stuff going on... **shrugs**.

This will be a very short and quick book review, because there really isn't much to discuss here. I am trying my best not to sound mean or disrespectful to the author throughout this review. I mean, it is a really good story, don't get me wrong.
Maybe I read this book in a rush or it's because I have been tired for the past couple of days. I did enjoy reading this a lot in the beginning, but towards the middle of the book it felt like the reader (me) was being shot with way too many details and scenes. The pace became slow and.. I don't know, the thrill I got at the start just wasn't there anymore. The ending was a little predictable and there were lots of cliches, but overall I really liked how the suspense was created in the beginning and the novelty and originality of the mystery (corpse waking up 24 hours later) definitely deserves a big thumbs up, which is what got me to read the book in the first place.

How I do my book reviews

Hello! I'm back with my reviews, more determined than ever to do better. I apologize for being inactive. I have way too many drafts and counting to work on that I never know which one is ready for publishing.  ''Too many gifs?'' or ''Should I change that? Not everyone gets my sense of humor..'' 
''Let's cut out this spoiler'', ''But I HAVE to talk about it!''

I will try to not have excuses from now on. Anyways, welcome to my blog. I am going to do more than just book reviews and talk about other things, like music, movies, tv shows, and more coming soon!! Waaa I'm so excited!


I admit that I still have a lot to learn about writing a proper book review. My previous one were pretty bad and I became discouraged for a while. I haven't done many of them, so please bear with me while I learn to improve them as I go on. And this is my brand new format and things you might expect from my reviews.

This book. **takes a long breath**
As I have just finished reading it, I am still recovering from the aftermaths.
Do excuse me if I sound completely bonkers. I got so absorbed in the story that my heart was beating all the time, as if I was committing a crime and afraid of getting caught at any moment. At times I forgot how to keep my breathing at a normal pace!

I have two words this book: Brilliant. Terrifying.

I finished reading it in two consecutive nights. Even for a book lover like me who stays up reading long enough to hear the sound of chirping birds and see the rays of sunshine coming through the window, only to have sleep for the few hours left and heavily regret it. And then to repeat the process the following night with no shame, I can say that I have never ever found a book that is so addictive and exciting in my entire life! I swear the book has an essence of caffeine and adrenaline rush. It was such a redefinition of pleasure. It kept me on the edge of the bed, like ugggh what's going to happen?????

''Another Day'' by David Levithan

I finished reading this book in one and half day. That's how amazing it was. Now, of course, I say that about all the books I read basically, but there is seriously no kidding when I say that the author, whose name I haven't even heard before Saturday at Tesco, is a genius when handling romance and words.
Any John Green fan would love this book!

Now, I don't get it why YA authors nowadays have this thing for writing awesome novels, that enchant you from their very first word and then they finish those stories (and the sensitive reader's hearts) with soul-crushing endings; but we all know we love them anyways. ;)

The Miniaturist by Jesse Burton

Reading this book had proven to be an unexpected delight, as this is not my usual genre.

First of all, a heads to the writer Jesse Burton for choosing a very intriguing cover which had caught my attention from a bookshelf at Sainsbury's.

And as a hungry reader hunting for my next prey, I am sometimes tempted to choose a book by its cover. And as a result, I received a different edition of the book cover from Amazon. But that didn't obviously stop me from reading the story.

And here is my rating - ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪

The Selection by Kiera Cass

I read a lot, and everyone who knows me is constantly aware of that.

But whenever someone asks me about my favourite book, I go blank. All you passionate readers can relate to that, I'm sure? We just have so many books that we've grown to love!

''The Selection'' by Kiera Cass has a definite place on my top list. It's a timeless novel that I keep coming back to, and every time I read it, it is as if I were reading it for the first time.

RATING: ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪

''The Selection'' is a series that consists of 3 books: ''The Selection'', ''The Elite'', and ''The One''. (Although Kiera Cass has written other novels related to the same plot too. I haven't read them yet so I can't say anything about those books.)

Extraordinarily well-written, full of romance and suspense and great sarcasm and humour.
