A friend is needed.

Talk about feeling terrible. I won't lie and tell you that I don't cringe anytime I come here. Things have been blurry for me. I'm trying really hard to teach myself that I don't have to do everything and I cannot save everyone. I can only do the one I can do. I won't come here today and talk about books neither will I rant about the usual stuff. I just came here to say I need a friend and an accountability partner. I've been praying a lot for that now because it really lies heavy on my heart. Someone I can share ideas with and we can save money towards making sure it happens. So my heart is heavy. I know the risks and beginning issues that come with having a new friend but I believe with love, we can overcome all of that. You can buzz me rejayolie15@gmail.com . That's my email, I don't have many requirements, just willingness to work with me and be consistent. Like an accountability partner. We could both check up on each other and make sure we know ...

Book review... AGAIN!

This is another amazing book I've read this year.  So I'm going to write my brief review underneath because sigh, I love to give opinions (nobody asked for) on books I've read. ___________________________________ Ratings: I'm going to give this book a 5/5! Only because I love everything about the book. I love it too much to see a flaw, so yes it deserves that rating. I haven't read any bad book this year yet. This information makes me both happy and anxious at the same time. ____________________________________ Synopsis: A book set in a high school with the spotlight on four students for witnessing a murder of a depressed gossip. A geek, a criminal, a jock and a Princess. _____________________________________ I gotta admit this book was nothing like I expected it to be. Although the beginning seemed a bit slow for me, I love how things turned out. I love the author for not making this some cliche high school book filled with stereotypes. But she crafted her ...

My review on The Sun is also a Star by Nicola Yoon.

My opinions on the book: The Sun is also a Star by Nicola Yoon. This is my first book review ever! I would love for y'all to tell me what you think in the comments below. The reason I read this book was because I saw the trailer to the movie on Yara Shahidi's Instagram page. I fell in love with it immediately and told myself I gotta read it! Ratings: 5/5!!!! I gave this book a 5/5 because it's my first romantic book this year and my first time of reading Nicola Yoon's book. She made me fall in love with her. Her writing style was easy going and neat. Mood through out the book? Happy and anxious. What I thought about the characters? Let me start with Daniel. I love Daniel! He's the total opposite of what we usually read about guys and that made me appreciate his character so much. Daniel is soft, unrealistically emotional, and really expressive about his feelings. I love him for that because he's just open about his emotions. I liv...

Valentine special.

The season of “feelings” is upon us and everyone wants the attention. The emotional needs put on hold because of the activities we engage ourselves in seems to put us in a box. But now that Valentine is almost here, our lusts pops out its head too. Amidst the fight for justice concerning silent rape cases, millennials are carried away by the shallow euphoria of their lusts and are going through every length to please it. I'm human and I can say that I feel the heated atmosphere as much as you, dear. I'm human and can feel the intense or pressing need to satisfy such needs. But with all the love in me I want to tell you something: You deserve better! You deserve better than spontaneous lusts and lasting regret. You deserve better than 4532 times of being taken for granted You deserve better than being with someone who is broken You deserve better than shallow ecstasy that comes with 50 mins of sex. Hey, you even deserve better than the lies. So get your head...

Bookstagram!

New month, new stuff to blog about! You really thought I would stop blogging?? No matter how overwhelming it becomes I'm sticking till the end. But that is not what this post is for. So the big question is what is this post for? I'm here to tell y'all about my bookstagram page! A bookstagram page is exactly what you think it is. It's Instagram but all about books! Books are underrated and deserve all the attention they need so it's only right I start that page. So go follow on Instagram!  I actually want to talk about something else that's bothering me. I live in Benin and I realized people here don't give a damn about literature. There are functioning libraries, no book hangout places just the heat and dust. I'm going to change that(even though I don't know how) but I will, one book at a time.  To whom it may concern, this is an apology: I am sorry for not giving you bookish contents and all the reviews I promised. I'm in the middle o...

Bookworm problems 101: fictional books toying with our emotions.

Hey guys, busy has been my motto this week since Friday, that's why you haven't seen any updates on the blog. But let's just go down to business and relate with some basic stuff. So lately I've been doing a lot of reminiscing and realized that most of the influences I had came from books. Some bad and some good. Let me begin with THE BOOK that really shaped my small fragile mind; The Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie. Being a young, curious little girl I won't lie and tell you I was mentally strong enough or held my Faith in high esteem because I didn't. There were times when absurd knowledge did appeal to me a great deal and I filled my head with all sorts. Let me not digress and tell you why Purple Hibiscus was THE BOOK that changed a lot of my perspective especially towards family. Ever read a book and you could feel the originality of emotions oozing out of the words and hitting you hard at each turn? That's what that book was for me. Chimamanda h...

Bookworm problems101. Can you relate?

I've been meaning to talk about this, even though I don't know where or how to begin. Throughout my years of being a bibliophile I've realized so many silly reading habits of mine that I need to get rid off. Unfortunately, this is the first problem we all face. My TBR list is crying everyday to be read. I'm suffering from this and really hate it because it's not right. Jokes apart, having a loooonnggg TBR list is terrible. Simply means as individual you lack self control and patience because I tell you the truth that those new bestsellers are not going anywhere, they'll always be there for us no matter what. So it's better to finish the current ones before buying new books(I know we love the smell of a new book) but I realize that the longer my TBR list grew, the more impatient I get with the current book I'm reading. Where it gets so bad is when we we finally finish up the book we were reading and because we're such in a haste to begin a new one...
