What I liked about the Book —

Its ony favourite list now , so it will be kinda hard to jott down only SOME points! I can write a complete essay on why I love that book 😆. But here are a few reasons why… (Do I sound like 13reasons why?😂) —–

1. This is a book which you read and feel that the book has been written AFTER the MOVIE is released. Like really. Why? Because the author, Sophie Cousens, has so perfectly described each and every detail of each person’s life that you just can’t get that book down and it feels like you are watching a movie , having a peep into everyone’s life!

2. Did you like “DaVinci Code” By Dan Brown? You did? Then what are you waiting for?! Go and buy this book NOW! This book makes you travel back in time. Like, now you are in 2020….and then bbom! Welcome to 1993. Then again-2015. By this way, the author by this way has given a clear view of what the life if each character was and how they met.

3. The story has been described in such a way that you can’t put it down. I love the way the characters have been linked. You won’t even realise it’s just a story unless you complete it. It like, you are that invisible creature having a peep into everyone’s life!

But it was the opposite with this book. My mouth was hanging open all the time 😆😮

What I didn’t like about the book —

This will be hard….. I have brain-stormed about this for over an hour and I still don’t find anything that I didn’t like about the book. Every page, every chapter, every character has some uniqueness which just binds you into the story!

Final Thoughts —

I personally LOVED the book! It’s really rare for a person like me who judges a book a thousand times before writing a review, but I must admit that it’s just AWESOME! 🥳 You HAVE to read it man! I am eagerly waiting when it will release so I can buy it’s physical copy!

That’s it. It was my book review of “This Time Next Year” by Sophie Cousens. I had a great time reading this ❤ I hope you do too! Anyways, I hope you and your family are safe and in a GREAT SPIRIT! Enjoy your quarantine with your family and do let me know your thoughts about this review.😁 Until then.. Bubye 🤗

“My Life as Kelsey” Book Review

Jennice Mishra4 Comments

Life during lockdown is hard for many. But let’s admit this. We, the bookworms, now specially got MUCH time to reread our favorite books and even read new books. Not to forget, EBOOKS. Moving to our topic, I recently read this book named – “My life as Kelsey” by Victoria Anders. And here are, my thoughts about it😁😉 ———

“Live life with no Regrets…..”

This is what Kelsey’s mantra is.

Before getting into the detailed review of the book, here’s a short interpretation of it – It’s a fancy YA(Young Adult) book and describes the stages and situations a teenager has to go through when they have a family crisis.

Plot–

Kelsey Payne works as an instructor at the Roller Coaster rides. Her Monotonous instructions are just like her monotonous life. She lives in the Forest Hills which is one of the poorest locality in their city. It’s a normal day in Kelsey’s life as she works and helps people in the Roller coaster rides. But she doesn’t know that day can change her life. It all starts when a group of boys decide to have a ride. One of them has sunglasses on. When Kelsey asks the young man to remove them as they are quite not allowed, she falls for his blue eyes. But she knows her limits. According to her mom, boys are users and Kelsey is not allowed to date. Kelsey believes it’s because she doesn’t know who her father is. But is it a real story or is her mom lying? Will she ever be friends with the sunglass guy?

May be this what the Roller coaster ride looks like where Kelsey works…

Read it and do let me know your thoughts.

What I liked about the book –

1. The author’s way if writing the book is very beautiful. Why? Because believe me I finished the book in 2 sittings in 2 days. It just keeps you binded

2. You never know what’s going to happen the next moment 😅😂 Like, the story has a flow…. And then suddenly something happens and you feel like screaming. To be honest, I enjoy reading these kind of books 😆

3. She explains the hardships of a teenager who is squeezed in a family crisis. Let’s be honest now, the movies we see in Netflix or wherever, describe only the good-fancy part. But where does the other FAMILY part go? Cleared, 70% teenagers go through family problems everyday . So I really like how she wrote about Real Problens and not just everything people write to gain popularity.

4. Have you watched any series on Netflix? Or Gossip Girl? Or Pretty Little Liars? Like these are the teen series and what do they represent? Fancy Life. Spend dollars every day. Do party. But does this all happen in real life? No offence to the above-mentioned-series-lovers and to the ones who really party n enjoy life… But I believe we mostly stay at home. And this girl is poor and this describes the other part of the story which we mostly miss….

What I didn’t like about the Book –

1. I felt that the story at some point, went Too fast and the part where not needed, went Too slow. That actually was a problem.

2. I completely respect the author’s views, but at some parts the short situations could be improved snd some unnecessary sub-stories could have been removed.

My Final Thoughts about the book—-

The book overall was a great experience itself. I wish I could read this book with the same enthusiasm and with the same excitement I had when I read it for the 1st time. Really, it’s like a good book to take your mind off things and have a good time during lockdown!

Disclaimer- I received a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review

Hoping, the-one-reading-this and his/her family is safe and in great health. I would love to know if you have any book recommendations and would love to review your book for an honest review if you are an author. Untile next time, keep on reading books and share your thoughts here. Bubye! 💜📖

5 must read Books during this Lockdown

Jennice Mishra7 Comments

Bored in this lockdown?! Of course you are! Then I have got the right thing for you organized if you are a bookholic–

1. Animal Farm

Never heard of it before? Then you live under a rock! No worries I’ll tell you why it’s so famous and why it goes in the must-read list. It’s a story about an Animal farm, where the animals break free from the master and live an independent life. So what’s interesting? Well, every of it’s animal represents types of people in our society. This is why this books is considered to be one if the best book of Sociology.

2. Aristotle and Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe

Stop before you judge this book as a scientific one! Now, if you are a lover of Young-Adult genre…. Then it’s a MUST READ. This book is the winner of many awards including the Pulitzer Prize 🏆. This book features to boys named Aristotle and Dante who become best friends. What’s strange is – they are complete different traits and habits! Yet, they continue their journey in knowing the world better but little do they know what’s gonna get unveiled in Their Worlds!

3. Maze Runner

I bet you have never read any fictional book as thrilling as this! (Let me exclude Harry Potter or your fav boook) Like it got my heart beat fastened in EVERY SINGLE PAGE! So this book is basically about a group of boys who land one by one in a unknown place(The Glade) where they are surrounded by a maze which changes it’s pattern EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! And they try to solve the pattern snd try to get out of the maze. But watch out! There’s lot more snd I ain’t giving you spoilers. So you better grab your phone and start reading it’s E-book . Note – Read the book before watching it’s movie. You’ll regret if you go the other way round….

4. Everything Everything

This is my fav book and I have like read it 20-30 times. So, what’s so great about this book? Everything ! 😂 Yeah, this books might seem common to you guys but if you try thinking it over you will reach to amazing results. This book is about a girl who suffers from SCID and hasn’t gone out if her house for 18YEARS. (And we are bored with just 1month of lockdown 😒) Anyways, so her life gets interesting when a boy moves next door which makes her realise about the outer world and makes her desperate! Will she go out and does something happen to her ? Read it and you’ll love it! Note- Same as the above one’s . Read it before watching it’s movie.

5. The Book Thief

History. Yes. This book might seem voluminous but it’s just worth a read. It’s about a girl who is a victim of Hitler and his harsh treatments! No, she is not a Jew. But she lives in a Foster family. Even her family are not Jews. So what’s wrong? Her loved ones are……Her bestfriend, her father’s friends…

Didn’t find your favorite book? Write to me about it and I might read it and will definitely right about it! For now, stay safe and keep on reading books! (E-Books)
