  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 ...

  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 ...

  Journalling is fun and a relaxing way to unwind after a long day!  You can jot down feelings, the weather, what you did, and whatever you feel like saying!   Here are some tips to get you started. 1.  The proper journal/diary: Your journal does not have to be fancy, however, I usually try to pick out aesthetically pleasing journals just because I find them better to write in 😊.  I also personalize my journals by putting stickers or doodling on the cover.   2. How to start:  You can just start writing by putting the date and the weather then write about your day.  If you prefer, you can begin your entry by writing "dear diary." 3.  Example entry:  Here is an example entry that I wrote for this blog: Saturday, January 7, 2023 Dear Diary, Today it is cloudy and gloomy outside.  This morning I went shopping and bought some groceries.  I plan on doing some artwork after dinner today.  I am still mad at Rhea for dro...
