A Pho Love Story

A Pho Love Story Review 💕 Author : @loanloanle Genre : Rom Com  My Ratings 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ⭐ /5  ... My first thing that came to my mind after I started this book was to eat really delicious bowl of Pho. I immediately took up to myself to learn how to cook a vegetarian version of Pho, I didn't expect to find it but there were so many recipes and they looks super yummy!! While reading A Pho Love Story, I could imagine myself being inside the restaurants and witness this cute little story. I could see Bao's mom and her gossip friends, I could look through their window and see Linh's family restaurant and Linh walking down the street with her art bag.  Despite being in same school Bao and Linh never talk to each other or should I say they aren't allowed to by their families. Though it may seem like their families don't like each other because of their competitive business but this beef is way too longer. Bao and Linh never actually got to know the real reason ...

The Lucky List

#TheLuckyList Review ✨ 💫 Author : @rachaellippincott Pages : 304 My Ratings : 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐/5 We all are bound with memories, that's how we look back to some of our happiest times and even moments we wish to forget. The ones which are toughest to remember are often those moments we shared with people we love the most and they are no more here to make new memories. Emily feels the same... Since she lost her mom three years back, she can no longer do things that she did with her mom. So when her dad forced her to join bingo night which is hosted monthly in their small town of Huckabee, she was reluctant because this was one of her favorite time with her mom who always felt they were lucky. It started from Emily being born on 5th May, picking up 505 bingo card, keeping lucky quarter. Emily wasn't feeling lucky until Blake entered that bingo night and slowly into her life. Blake's dad and Emily's parents were childhood best friends, this gave both the girls enough ...

Six of Crows

✨🖤 Six of Crows Review 🖤✨ Author : Leigh Bardugo Pages : 491 Genre : #adventure #heist #Grishaverse My Ratings 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5   It's been so long since this book has released and there's even an outstanding Netflix show based on this! So I'm not going to pen down a Review like I normally do but rather I'll just talk and rant about what I thought about it! For those who are not familiar with this book, Six of Crows is first book in Duology which is set two years after the events of Shadow and Bone trilogy. Where Shadow and Bone is all about Grishamagic Royalty, wars... Six of Crows is like opposite of it! It's about underground gangsters, barrel thugs, trades, finances and most importantly... Extremely genius plotted heists planned by none other than Kaz Brekker ; the most ruthless person in whole city of Ketterdam, leader of Dregs (a gang in Barrel)! There's no job that Kaz can't pull off no matter how risky it is or how much amount of violence i...

House of Hollow

Title : House of Hollow  Author : Krystal Sutherland  Pages : 292  Genre : Fantasy /Dystopian /Thriller /Horror  My Ratings 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 After reading this book, I see Krystal Sutherland in different light as a storyteller... The drama, glamour, the horror she created felt just like listening to a bedtime story we never want to end ... We easily became a part of it. It doesn't take even 10 pages to become part of the story, curiosity of climax keeps us going deeper into the unknown, towards the end. The story binds the characters beautifully with all emotions whether it'd be tragedy, trust, love, loss, or horror.  At stroke of 12, Three girls disappeared on New year's eve and that night changed everything for Hollow family.  Grey, Vivi, and Iris returned a month later... Their eyes, teeth, and hair changed, their neck bearing a crescent moon scar and they brought back a strange hypnotic power . None of them remembered where they we...

Miss Austen Review

Title : Miss Austen  Author : Gill Hornby  Pages : 387 Genre : Biographical Fiction  My Ratings 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟  As an avid reader of classical literature and enthusiast for works of Jane Austen, this novel was a warm and delightful read. I loved reading every chapter, every page of this book.  I am not a person who takes any book slowly and cherishing it as it goes, but Miss Austen was the one which I took my own time reading and having a walk through 1800s Kintbury.  I always knew that Jane had a very close relationship with her sister Cassandra but through this book I came to know her story and how it was like to be the person who knew Jane more than anyone.  Cassandra Austen is a woman who is like a character out of greatest stories ever written. She is like the heroine we all adore and desire to be. She did everything she could to protect reputation of her sister Jane and her literary legacy. Her own story has tragedy and even with a ...
