I can’t believe we’re already in August; time seems to fly by more quickly as we grow older…Anyway, let’s stop with my philosophy and let’s dive into this post!
I can’t say I’ve had the best reading month ever because I was in a reading slump which lasted two good weeks but I’ve thankfully pulled through!

This was long overdue and it took me longer than I thought but I’m finally putting up my review for Becoming by former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Robinson-Obama. I had to gather all my thoughts and my overpouring of love for this book. This review is a little different than others because this book really hit home for me.
An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States.
Synopsis: In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare. (Goodreads)
Rating: FIVE SPECTACULAR STARS
Format: audiobook

I saw this book tag on @ A Little Haze Book Blog and it seemed like a fun tag so I decided to give it a try.
1. How many books are too many in a series?
I feel like 4 or 5 books are enough in a series otherwise you barely recognise the characters a-because they evolved so much and the plot drags on unnecessarily. However, if the writing is spectacular and you really get attached to the characters, I feel like you can have more books in a series. The perfect example of that would be Harry Potter where each book brings something to the grand finale in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
2. How do you feel about cliffhanger endings?
I have a love-hate relationship with them haha. If the next book is out then it’s fine but if I have to wait a year or so it makes me quite angry because I’m so impatient. It’s also a good sign and that means I’m invested in the plot enough to care!
3. Hardback or paperback?
My bank account says Paperback but my heart says Hardback.
4. Favourite book?
I say it all the time and by now you must know but it’s Just One Day by Gayle Forman. A must-read!
5. Least Favourite book?
I don’t remember reading such a terrible book that it’s my least favourite but I remember strongly disliking Paper Towns by John Green.
6. Love triangles: yes or no?
When I started reading YA, love triangles were my favourite trope (The Vampire Diaries, Twilight…). But as I grow older I’m not so fan of the idea…
7. The most recent book you couldn’t finish?
I avoid DNF’ing books because I get frustrated by myself and try to finish them even if they’re terrible. However I cannot get myself to pick up Jane Eyre, I don’t know why….I’m going to give it another try though.
8. A book you’re currently reading?
I’m currently still reading Becoming by Michelle Obama and it’s just as incredible as I thought it would be! It’s taking me some time to read but I’m really enjoying it.
9. Last book you recommended?
It was the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout! It’s a great series, all the books are incredible, entertaining and gripping and it features a fellow bookworm and sexy aliens. What more do you need?
Hello lovelies!
Welcome to WWW Wednesday! I have seen this tag around and thought the prompts were easy enough and a good way of keeping you updated with my former, present and next reads, so I decided to give it a try. This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived on Taking on a World of Words. Enjoy!
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
This is kind of chaotic because I’m in a reading slump. I’m at a camp right now and I will have a lot of free time during the journey back home and during my stay, so I plan on continuing the audiobook of Becoming, narrated by Michelle Obama herself! I am loving it so far! It’s very inspirational and it’s nice to hear her insights on things and have her version of the events.
I finished reading a book for school. It was Tropismes by Nathalie Sarraute. It’s in French and it was very weird and unconventional because there are no longer characters or plots, just thoughts and random actions. I surprisingly enjoyed it. I also finished reading The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston which I adored!! It was sooo much fun! (You can see my review for it, here)
Since I have books to read for my next school year, I think I’m going to read all (five) of them, to get it out of the way and enjoy the books of my choice.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello lovelies!
I’ve seen the Thank You, Next Tag on Jenna’s @ Bookmark Your Thoughts blog. The tag was originally created by thisstoryaintover, and it is inspired by Ariana Grande’s song “thank u, next”. Each of the prompts are inspired by the lyrics. If you haven’t heard the song you can still do the tag! (But the song is very good so you might want to check it out).
Hello everyone!!
I’m back for a TOP 5 TUESDAY hosted by Shannah @Bionic Bookworm Blog (go check out her blog; it’s amazing!). So this month we’re doing letters instead of topics and I really like the idea so thank you Shannah! Here we goooo.
I’m currently audio-booking Becoming by Michelle Obama and I LOVE IT! It’s so interesting to read her opinion on things and how every memory, detail, feeling means something and has a purpose; she’s an incredible person and a great storyteller!
Cinder by Marissa Meyer. Who doesn’t like a good retelling of Cinderella?! A Cyborg, a Charming Prince, a wicked step-mother and a final revelation. This book holds its promise and has elements of the actual fairytale with its personal twist and modern touches. I have yet to read the following books in the series, which are also retellings of fairytales.
Divergent by Veronica Roth. I adored the first book and when the movie came out I had a mental breakdown because it was so good and I just needed more. The first book was incredible but I did not enjoy the following books as much. Still very entertaining characters and concept.
Do you agree with my picks? If you did the tag feel free to link your post in the comments and I will check it out! Thank you for reading and see you soon!
