#Q: What’s your weekend plans?

The Girl Of My Dreams 5🌟💖 Author: Durjoy Datta @durjoydatta

Daman always wakes up to this name, Shreyasi, which haunts him like a nightmare but he feels like it’s another whole story of him. Daman had an accident in Goa. He lost his memory of that trip. But the name it’s all he knows and when he remembers it he becomes like a mad man . He cannot remember further.

But Daman had started another life for him being an aspiring writer whom he always wanted to be. And he found his love, Avni, who supports him and love him more than anything even herself. But those nightmares keep coming back. Everytime a different angle. But the face is hazy.

He tried to regain the memory but not even his frnds knew what had happened. All his efforts to know the story behind the name gone futile untill one day!!

The twists are remarkable. The story keeps you in it like a black hole. Once you touch the book you can’t keep off it . I felt a flush of emotions while reading. And couldn’t help myself. The characters are not perfect, they’re flawed and broken, showing how really life is. I’m in love with all the works of Durjoy Datta, amongst all this one and The Boy Who Loved are my favourites (Though, I didn’t like the 2nd part of the latter- The Boy With A Broken Heart).

So this is my #RedFebruaryTBR . Apparently I’m not gonna read this two as I’m tempted by other two books. But I prepared this two as tbr because this is RED FEBRUARY and everyone is doing this. See one book have #black #sprayededges !!

Arghhhh! I wanna read this but just can’t take this until I finish the others. And that two dreamcatcher keychains are my DIY. I’m feel so proud of myself when I see those! What do u think about it?

So which are your #RedFebruaryTBR ?

August 2022 Wrap-Up

Hello reader babes!

I have really no excuse when it comes to writing this the second week of September. But hey, better late than never right? I'm literally writing this at work so I hope you guys enjoy it.

In the hot month of August I read a total of 4 books which was my goal! Some were excellent, others...not so much. Some of these I discussed in my Mid-August reading update however, fresh faces are here as well.

*Spoilers will be indicated by asterisks around the book title*

NOTE: From here on out mid-month updates will only discuss my current read and how many books I have read thus far. Just to keep the Wrap-up interesting :)

Every Vow You Break by Peter Swanson

I have already tore into this book pretty hard in my Mid-August Update so I don't feel the need to do so again here. I just didn't like this book, the plot was odd and it didn't feel flushed out at all. It read like a fanfiction that shouldn't have gotten published.

1/5 Stars

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

I liked this book. That seems like a bad review but I truly feel neutral about it. It felt like a middle book, lots of filler and just weird plot line. The ending battle scene was super good and I will never forgive Ms. Clare for what happened to my baby Simon in this book. He deserves better. I have a lot to comment on regarding Clary and Jace but that will come with my blurb on City of Glass.

3/5 Stars

Furyborn by Claire Legrand

I read this for the first time in September of 2020 but I think God decided that it wasn't the time for me to read it and blanked it from my memory so that when I read it this time it was like the first time reading it. I knew the overarching plot but holy crap did this novel blow my socks off. I loved the characters, their bonding moments, the action just everything had me on the floor and head over hills in love.

5/5 Stars

Kingsbane by Claire Legrand

I finished Furyborn while on shift at my job and as soon as I got home I ran for my bookshelves and grabbed this. I gave this book a lower rating and not just because it had tons of filler. I loved focusing more on Eliana's character, is was great to see a protagonist struggle and not be just immediately good at everything. The twist at the end was fantastic. I only have one real complaint with this book and that has to deal mainly with the amount of spice in it. The first book definitely had spice but it was about what I would expect for a YA novel but this book seemed to have a spice scene each chapter and some of it was very explicit. It kind of took away from the rest of the book and those scenes definitely could have been used in other ways.

3.5/5

August was a really good reading month for me and I'm glad I slowed down a bit from the book monster I was in July. Now that school is in full swing it's hard to read as much as I used to (and thus, posting is more difficult too). I'm glad y'all are sticking with me and I'm thrilled to see what September has in store.

Much Love,

June <3

Read all of the books on the so-called "banned list;" I myself have yet to read Fahrenheit 451, but I know what's on my to do list.

- Liane Moriarty :)

This is my first book by this author and I must say it's a good read. It's a bit slow in the beginning and all secrets were revealed in middle of the story. But it's not only a thriller fiction but a domestic fiction as well. It shows how the secrets destroyed their family and how you paid for your crimes. Overall for me it's a one time read. Give it a read ;)

Wow. Wow.

I just finished reading the House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J Maas.

And It was mind-blowing. With so many twists and jaw dropping and heart-wrenching moments. What a great fantasy-mystery-thriller it was!

CAN'T wait for the next book.

It's about to get more interesting.

LIGHT IT UP. LIGHT IT UP!

The book was Lit.

Every summer brings heartwarming memories of your previous summers and you achingly miss those days!

This sums up my summer!

This is the summary of my summer days!

"Don't you think 'Mark is kind of a weird name for a Shadowhunter?" Julian was saying as Emma approached. "I mean, if you really think about it. It's confusing. 'Put a Mark on me, Mark."
