F – Feature your latest book obsession

Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl was my most recent read and I enjoyed this so much. The different elements that helped make this story into what is was, were well-done. This is a story simply about life and death, the choices we make, and a great introspection into ourselves. Plus there’s the weird, surrealistic Neverworld Wake, a Groundhog Day experience that the characters go through. This has flawed and often times unlikeable characters but that’s honestly a plus for me because they are fleshed out and human.

I – Indicate which book/s you are looking forward to reading this weekend

I’m not entirely sure what other books I may read this weekend but I do have The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo on my TBR for the weekend because it’s a quick read and I just really want to read it. I’m going to be listening to the audiobook, narrated by Elizabeth Acevedo herself and I can’t wait to hear her tell her story.

F – Favorite quote of the week/day

“We are all anthologies. We are each a thousand pages long, filled with fairy tales and poetry, mysteries and tragedy, forgotten stories in the back no one will ever read.” – NEVERWORLD WAKE by Marisha Pessl.

F – Five things I’m happy or grateful for this week

1. The Princess Bride – What a charming and classic feel-good movie! I re-watched this this week and I’m so glad I did because it was a great pick-me-up. I wish we had more movies made like this. (I know there movies like this but it seems like it’s so little at a time).
2. Mob Psycho 100 II – The season is nearly over with but I love my sweet precious psychic child Mob and all the other weirdos.
3. Coffee – This may seem basic but screw it, coffee helped me this week as it usually does and it deserves credit. Thanks coffee.
4. Garnier Whole Blends Honey Shampoo – I’ve started using this recently and I LOVE IT. The smell of the honey is so wonderful and it makes my hair feel good.
5. Cover Reveals – So many amazing cover reveals happened this week such as A River of Royal Blood by Amanda Joy, Song of the Crimson Flower by Julie C. Dao, Kingdom of Souls by Rena Barron, How to Be Remy Cameron by Julian Winters, Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, and Ziggy, Stardust, and Me by James Brandon.

Let me know how your week has been and thanks for reading! 🙂
