Book . The Dead Romantics

How to start this review. 

I honestly don’t know why the book gods let me choose this book. I randomly choose my next book to read unless I’m eyeing something to read next. 

Ashley Poston has been recommended by people on my feed and I’m somehow looking forward reading this when I chose it randomly. Little did I know all the feelings that this book contains. Also mostly I don’t read anything about the book unless I’m few pages in. 

Is it early to tell that this is so far my current favorite from all the book I read this year. 

I don’t want to spoil anything but everything was so unexpected. All the feelings and emotions. 

The way I was able to relate to it like 80% of the time. 

I was continuously crying during my last stretch of reading for 5 hours. I can’t help it, tears are flowing. I can’t stop reading during the weekend that I decided to finish it because same with my tears, I can’t stop reading! 

Sadly, I can’t read another Ashley Poston book soon since I want to cover more authors. But also, I’m not sure if I’m ready for all the feelings of another Ashley book. 

Rated this 5 star on goodreads and this is highly recommended.

On Repeat . Joy Next Door

Book . The Confidence Blueprint

 

Such a good read.

I’ve been a fan of Maggie Wilson since forever but also I have a different approach when I said “fan”. I’m not the usual fan that goes crazy when I see someone I admire from afar. 

We might be born on the same year but her life is far from mine. She was quiet for a while and I’m happy that she’s breaking her silence starting on some social media posts and now this book. 

An easy read since it’s also PDF file but somehow I always have a hard time reading PDF on my kindle. I knew I will still finish it soon enough though I started this while I was still reading another book so it took me a while. Then I read 40% in one sitting but I had to put it away for a few days. 

The issues on this book hurts so much as a woman in this country. Luckily I’m not married but you don’t need to be married or even have a son or daughter to not feel how unfair our laws are. I remember getting teared up on some parts of the book. How unfair the justice system to everyone. How money and power can work and somehow just be almost inhumane. 

She can’t even communicate with his son for years and how long it will be before they see each other again? How inconsiderate is that? Yes it’s sad but also it will make you angry. Angry how this is our government and our laws. 

Sad reality 

It’s worth reading even you don’t know her. Can’t wait for the 2nd book. 

Gave this book 5 stars on goodreads.

Book . What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

I enjoyed this book and even I’m not sure how Haruki Murakami on his fictional books. I chose this book randomly as I always do unless I want to read something specific. Not even sure if I’ll choose this as my first Murakami book but I’m glad I read this probably on the right time because it distracted me from my over thinker self. 

Although I read this at night I honestly wanted to run. Lol unfortunately we don’t have nice pedestrian or a good sidewalk.  

I’m open to read other works by Murakami  but as of the moment I don’t want to repeat an author as my back-to-back read. I just want to read books from different authors this year for a change.

As much as I wanted to run or even just walk there are certain conditions to consider like a nice pedestrian, a field or even an uphill that’s safe. Without those, I really consider buying a walking pad but still that’s different and I’m not sure if I’ll be going to maximize it. 

Anyway, gave this book 4 stars on goodreads

Crystal Clear

You fucking give me so much sign

That I don’t know what it means

One thing I’m sure

You are clearly reminding me

That you are thinking about me too 

I get that crystal clear

You owe me

Much explanation

For once give me a little longer

We both know that I deserve it

You can do it even in a single day 

But please make it much clearer

I’m already tired of the guessing game

Dark

 

You were my escape

You were the reason

For the smile

For the contentment

For the happiness

For almost positivity

In this lifetime

But then I lost you

In a snap

And everything 

Became dark 

Again
