Last book in the Maze Runner series ๐๐ก๐ ๐
๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐๐ was a chilling tale on how everything started from the moment Thomas was taken away from his parents to the day of him going to the Maze. It was a twisted and gripping novel, that was impossible to stop reading. I loved to see how everything started but it was also sad to know they forgot about it. There were a lot of hard moments to read but also they had fun together, it was so nice to see everyone together again.
I highly recommend reading this book to anyone, even though this is technically the final book in the series it can definitely be read first to get a deeper grasp on how everything started.

This was a beautiful tale of service, friendship and love. I got so emotional reading it, it was a truly heartfelt little story of how a service dog who at first didnโt believe himself and an elderly gentleman who is visually impaired became inseparable. I loved this read so much and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

This was the most sweetest little story ever of two good bad boys and their adventure while their mom was gone from home. It was such a fun and wonderful read to all ages. If you love dogs then I can guarantee that youโre going to love this one. The illustrations and characters are equally so heartwarming. It was a lovely book and I already cannot wait to read more of Howard and Flopโs adventures. ๐พ๐๐พ

This was my second book by the author and I need to tell that I definitely wasnโt disappointed! It was such a unique and surprising story, a virtual reality adventure with chilling mystery elements included. I couldnโt stop reading this fantastic story. It was filled with mind blowing twists and excitement, I felt myself inside the game while reading it. Everything felt so real.
Iโm so happy that I figured it out who was the Soultrapper before they did, it made me feel so proud. Iโm really glad that this was my 100th book of the year because it was a truly fascinating story. I absolutely loved the ending it was so good!
If youโre looking for something unique and unexpected then check The Soultrapper out!
Deceiving the Cursed Beast by Jen Lynning
slow-paced
4.0
๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ was the most unique Beauty and Beast retelling I have ever read. The magic system and the Beastโs form was so different than anything Iโve read. I needed a bit of time to get used to how the magic works and get into the story but after that, I couldnโt stop reading the novel!
I really enjoyed this retelling, it was smart and witty with a fun and interesting writing style and storyline. If youโre looking for a fun retelling then I definitely recommend this one!

A beautiful and tough coming of age novel, a story of betrayal. The book follows three friends and how they trying to navigate through life. Itโs a very raw and real story with so many difficult moments to read about. It was definitely a tough read, the struggles the characters faced were so realistic. This book felt like a real story that could happen to anyone in real life and thatโs why it was so challenging. Sometimes it was slow and not that exciting but thatโs life.
I really liked the relationship between Pip and her grandparents and Mr. Swann. Pip definitely was my favorite character, sheโs been through so much, everyone in this book had their own struggles but hers were definitely the hardest to bear. I very much admired her strength and determination to overcome even the darkest moments.
I highly recommend reading this book, it is a very important story but definitely recommend checking the trigger warnings before going into.

Ulysses by James Joyce
5.0
First of all I want to thank @listenwithaudrey for the month long listen-along of Ulysses. It was a wonderful experience to read this brilliant book with the kind and supportive Audrey community. It was the best month ever, I donโt think I wouldโve found a new all time favorite book in Ulysses without all of the amazing friends Iโve listened the book with and Sophieโs guide was always super helpful. ๐๐๐
I am absolutely in love with this masterpiece of a book, I found so much joy while reading this novel. I loved the beautiful writing, all the fun words, the atmospheric scenes. I loved being in this world, I felt myself in the book while reading it, I didnโt wanted to leave the pages of the book. I know some people who finish Ulysses are probably happy to be done with it and they feel free to read anything elseโฆ but for me I just wish to re-experience the time I had while reading the novel. I found so many moments, words and quotes I loved some I could relate to, it was just a purely incredible story. I loved it, I feel like I cannot express my feelings properly towards this book because I just loved it so deeply. When I find a miracle like this I always feel like I canโt bring my emotions into words.

I really enjoyed the part where Mr. Bloom was at the chemist, it was such an atmospheric scene. I felt like I was there with him, almost like I could smell the lemony scent of the soap. ๐

โฌ๏ธ I find this view very beautiful. Such a nice and special way to look at death.
If youโre thinking about reading Ulysses, please do, it is such a phenomenal book. I highly recommend listening the book on Audrey they have such a fantastic narration and guide with amazing and helpful notes. Also I suggest listening to the book while following along with a physical or digital copy of the book. I found it so much easier and fun to follow along in the book while hearing the story. So donโt hesitate to pick up Ulysses, it is such a treasure!

I absolutely devoured this phenomenal erotic horror book which became my new obsession. Shark Daddy alias Reef is my newest book boyfriend, and Iโm sure he will be everyoneโs as well!
Ahhh this book was absolute perfection, a real treasure of a book. A perfect spicy summer read, it includes everything I couldโve ever wanted and so much more. Spice, gore, beach and of course sharks! ๐ฆโค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐
Highly, highly recommend this masterpiece of a book to everyone!
