Madame Bovary Review
Emma Bovary wants romance, gets reality, and blames everyone except herself. Flaubert’s sharp writing makes you laugh, sigh, and shake your head. At least my own love life isn’t quite as messy—yet.

Life After Life Review
Ursula lives, dies, and starts again more than my old Windows computer. Atkinson keeps things wild—war, family, tea, and second chances. Sometimes I got lost, but I enjoyed the ride more than a rollercoaster with no seatbelt.
Rating: 4/5
The Book of Life Review
Moody's 'Life After Life' makes you wonder if Grandma's tunnel story was onto something. It's an easy read, full of wild NDE tales, but sometimes repeats itself more than me at a buffet.
Rating: 4.5/5
Terry Pratchett Discworld Novels Series Review
Reading Terry Pratchett is like eating jellybeans you can’t stop popping—each one is a surprise. You laugh, you think, and sometimes you snort tea out your nose. Not for grumps, but perfect for anyone who likes fun with brains.
Rating: 4/5
The Frozen River Review
If you like books where people make weird choices and the setting smells like old socks and adventure, good novel delivers. Just don’t expect the plot twists to always make sense—sometimes even my dog guessed what’d happen next.
Rating: 4.3/5
The Prophet Review
Khalil Gibran's words felt like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day—comforting and sometimes a bit too flowery, but always honest and thoughtful. I finished the book feeling wiser (and maybe a tad more dramatic).
Rating: 4.5/5
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Review
Evelyn Hugo’s seven husbands made my life look boring, but her real love story knocked me sideways. Glitz, drama, and secrets—this book had me up past bedtime with crumbs in my bed and tears in my eyes.
Rating: 4/5
Ugly Love Review
Ugly Love hit me right in the feels. Colleen Hoover mixes messy love with real pain—you’ll laugh, maybe cry, and side-eye elevators forever. Not perfect, but darn if Miles and Tate didn’t stick with me!
Rating: 4.3/5
Circe Review
Madeline Miller makes Greek myths fun and fresh. Her characters mess up, laugh, and learn—just like my friends. If you like gods with attitude and magic that goes wrong, you’ll have a great time here.
Rating: 4/5
Into the Wild Review
McCandless eats berries, burns cash, and gives up his car. Would I last a week? No. But 'Into the Wild' makes me want to try—minus the moose. Take snacks if you go; learn from Chris’s mistakes.
