Book review: One of us is lying by Karen M. McManus

  This book has been on my GoodReads "want to read" list for a while so it was both satisfying to finally get it off my list but it was also a very thrilling and twisting mystery novel.  In this book, each character has their own section which I found kind of neat to see each of the perspectives of the characters and how different their personalities and lives are.  I would recommend this book for young adults 13 and up as it does have some coarse language and some mature circumstances and scenes.  The main characters in the book are Bronwyn who is an intelligent girl who comes from a family of Yale graduates, Cooper who is an all-star baseball player, Addy who is known at Bayview high as being popular and beautiful, Nate who is already on Probation for dealing drugs, and Simon who is the creator of the gossip app About That.  The five of them end up in detention and by the end of detention, Simon is dead.  This book made me feel a lot of emotions at one po...

My favorite aesthetic google fonts

  Are you a person like me who uses Google docs, Google slides, or Blogger a lot?  If so, you might be getting tired of the same old regular font so I made a list of my favorite cute and aesthetic Google fonts! Indie flower:  Indie flower is a font that gives me kind of handwriting cartoon aesthetic vibes and I like using this font for titles or subheadings. Coming soon:  Coming soon is a clear and easy-to-read but cute font.  I like using this font for printables as it is easy to read for kids. Short Stack:  This font is much like Coming soon but bolder and this font gives me fun and happy vibes.  A great font to use for writing a presentation or schedule. Shadows into light:  The font gives me handwritten letter vibes and it is just a nice classic rustic style font. Shadows into light 2: Shadows into light 2 is just the same style as shadows into light but bigger and bolder.  Amatic SC:  This font is very light and the letters are very...

Book review: Crying in h mart by Michelle Zauner

Crying in h mart by Michelle Zauner is a heartbreaking but fascinating memoir in which she writes about the connection between her and her mother, her youth, and the power of food and cooking. In the memoir, Zauner recalls treasured memories of her youth and describes her life in her childhood as a Korean American and now as an adult.  She also brings Korean dishes to life and describes the taste and smell of each and every one of the childhood Korean dishes she enjoyed and now making them as an adult to remember her mother who passed away due to cancer reasons.  Crying in h mart was one of the saddest memoirs I have ever read but in the memoir, you see what it is like growing up with a Korean mother and a Caucasian father and you discover traditional Korean dishes. I feel like you would understand the author's situation better if you were in her situation before or went through a similar situation as she did.  This book has funny and joyful family gatherings, grieving or...

Book review: Two can keep a secret by Karen M. McManus

  I have waited so long for a chance to get my hands on this book as I have heard so many good reviews about it.  As soon as I heard about this book, I went to my library website to see if I could check it out, it turns out that about 7 other people had the same idea I did!  I was NOT going to wait about 7 weeks for that book so my original plan was to wait for the line out and request it when the book got a bit older, however, that was not needed because a friend happened to have a copy of Two can keep a secret and I borrowed it as soon as possible.  I am SO glad I read this book it is honestly one of the best mysteries I have ever read (along with Agatha Christie mysteries).  However, I am giving it a ⭐⭐⭐⭐out of 5 stars because the first few chapters were VERY slow let me tell you I was actually regretting getting this book but I powered through the lameness, and once you get to about chapter 5 things start to fall into place and get interesting (trust me!)....

Book review: Marple by 12 authors who I list in the Blog

  I just finished reading Marple which has 12 short mystery stories based on Agatha Christie's legendary sleuth, Jane Marple.  The mysteries and authors of each story are in the list below: EVIL IN SMALL PLACES by Lucy Foley THE SECOND MURDER AT THE VICARAGE by Val McDermid MISS MARPLE TAKES MANHATTEN by Alyssa Cole   THE UNRAVELLING by Natalie Haynes MISS MARPLE’S CHRISTMAS by Ruth Ware THE OPEN MIND by Naomi Alderman THE JADE EMPRESS by Jean Kwok A DEADLY WEDDING DAY by Dreda Say Mitchel MURDER AT THE VILLA ROSA by Elly Griffiths THE MURDERING SORT by Karen M. McManus THE MYSTERY OF THE ACID SOIL by Kate Mosse THE DISAPPEARANCE by Leigh Bardugo I am going to give the book overall an 8-star read ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐out of 10 stars and the reason why is because some of the stories are just too confusing and have too many characters or too many things happening at once to understand what is really going on.  But on the other hand, some of the stories were one of the best mystery ...

Book review: 90 days of different by Eric Walters

  Today's book review is on 90 Days Of Different by Canadian author, Eric Walters.  It turned out to be another one of my favorite reads (I just finished it today) and I highly recommend it to tweens, teens, and adults.  However, I am giving it 4/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ because I found that some of the events were slightly boring to me and this book also contains some drinking scenes. 90 Days Of Different follows 18-year-old Sophie Evans.  The book starts out on her last day of high school when her boyfriend breaks up with her because she is too dull- too ordinary.  After she broke up with her boyfriend, her friend Ella wants her to try to do 90 days of things that she would not normally do- to get her out of her comfort bubble.  Along the way, she documents her different days on social media platforms Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  You see Sophie changing as the story moves on and by the time you are at day 90, you will notice how many changes have happened ...

Book review: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

  I have not done a book review in a long time, but I am back!  This time, I will review "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien- a classic and an old book first published in 1937.  I am going to give this book a 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ just because this book was very gripping and each chapter leaves you on a cliff-hanger to keep you turning the pages. The story is based on a Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who gets pulled into a plot and adventure to raid the treasure of Smaug The Magnificant by Gandalf the wizard and a group of dwarves.  Along the way, they pass through many problems and side trackers such as Trolls, Elves, Goblins, and many more exciting adventures.  It is really suspenseful and thrilling to see the whole story unfold and the author also delivers a good ending.  This book is sort of the intro to the Lord Of The Rings series and I would recommend reading The Hobbit before you start the Lord Of The Rings series just because from my understanding, you will already be ...
