The Tattooist of Auschwitz By @heatherrelizabethh Genre: Historical Fiction Rating:3.5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌁The Plot The book is based on the True story of Lale Sokolov and Gita Furmannova during the WWII.. Both of Them meet in the concentration camp of Auschwitz and fall in love. As the war continues so does their struggle for a better future. ♒ My Thoughts I liked the book pretty much. The book isnt boring but isnt that engaging in the second half. The book's limelight is on Lale and Gita's story which is very interesting and heart wrenching to read. Though i did not cry. I thoroughly enjoyed and cherished their life in the camps, the risks they took to be with each other and their bravery and never ending spirit. The ending was flat somehow, as if Heather Morris was on a rush to end the book. Overall its a good book. Characters-3/5 Plot-4.5/5 Ending-2/5 The Effect-3.5/5 I do recommend this to people who want to read a light holocaust book. This book is devoid of triggers... They are mentioned but its not described in a detailed manner. So yeah people who do not like cruelty at best in books can read this. 💕 #bookstagramfeatures #bookreviews #reviewbysreehitha #holocaust #thetattooistofauschwitz #heathermorris #worldwar2 #bookstagramcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CQs4q-kLMND/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Midnight Library🌌 By @mattzhaig Genre:Fantasy Rating : 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 📚The Plot Nora Seed gives up on life, but she doesn't ends up dead but arrives in a Library. At The Midnight Library, the library consists of lives she COULD have lived. Nora gets a Second Chance at Life. It is about Nora, her choice and her Endgame. 📒My Thoughts This book is the perfecttt mixture of a Fantasy, Spirituality, Quantum Science, Emotions and What if's.... The book is a worthy read, Every Life Nora chooses is so engaging to read. You are astonished at every part of the book. This is a must read for anyone who likes Sci-fi with a twinge of spirituality. I watched a Show a few months back called the RUSSIAN DOLL. Somehow this book is like the literary version of the series and i thoroughly enjoyed it.. Maybe the whole plot was a metaphor and it teaches us that giving up is not an option. This world needs us and even tiniest of our actions make a difference and gives our life a value ♒ NORA Nora's Character growth was the central point of the book. At the begining she gives up on life but at the end she lives it... She gives up on understanding the meaning of life and rather lives it.. ‘You don’t have to understand life. You just have to live it.’ P. S Read it in 2 sitting to have the nest experience 💕💞 #themidnightlibrary #matthaig #bookstagram #reviewbysreehitha #goodreadschoiceawards #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_QHsPhgcV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Circe💕☘ By @madeline.e.miller Review Genre :Fantasy, Mythology Rating:4.50🌟🌟🌟🌟🌠 👑The Plot Circe is the Daughter of The Sun God. She is different, bullied by her siblings and disliked by her parents Mortals become her refuge... But soon she discovers herself as a witch. Threatened by her Zeus exiles her to the Island of Aiaia. This is Circe journey from Being Helios Daughter to Circe witch of Aiaia 💐About the Book I am pretty much inspired by it. Circe couldnt find herself fit and welcomed in the world so she made a world of her own. She never needed a Man to survive, she was her own hero. She was bullied, wrongly accused and demeaned by the parents. Andshe made her enough for herself 🌱I give it 4.5 rating because a few parts which to be honest didnt concern circe much were much emphasized which wasnt required 🌿This is my first book by Madeline Miller and im looking forward to read more of ther books. 🌍Characters 🍄CIRCE She is bold and her character growth is tremendous... From self doubting herself to commanding Helios... She is remarkable throughout the book. Circe as a daughter, as a mother, as a lover, as a friend is awesome Circe is awesome she taught us that we do not need to be someone's something. 🌶ATHENA Athena is the Mean girl, the main antagonist of the book. I never liked her much she is selfish and only cares for her befitting-ment(idk whether its an actual word) But yeah athena is something of a goddess 💣Odysseus I do not like him... So i dont wanna write about him.. He is a proud, paranoid man who cant settle. 🌹Telegonas and Telemachus Telemachus was a Deprived and Underestimated son of Odysseus but his character was strong and impactful. He was a really kind and pretty character and definitely one of my favourites. Telegonas was annoying at the start and almost throughout the book but the way he always remembered and honoured circe was really good to see (unlike shitty aeetes) Reading with @sugoireads 💕I would recommend this book to everyone.. This is definitely a Favourite of mine😍 https://www.instagram.com/p/CPGlRDnBQDv/?utm_medium=tumblr

A small town called Little Kilton with woods and and a countryside feel... 🔎Charcaters 😎PIPPA FITZ AMOBI(pip) She is a bold, intelligent, strong and ambitious character...

Nikola Tesla⚡ By Sean Parick Genre:Non-Fiction Rating:4🌟🌟🌟🌟 I did not know much about Nikola Tesla before.. So i was confused whether to read his autobiography and chosed this short essay about him... I am astonished... This man selflessly gave away his whole life to science and did not get anything in return... He contributed 50+ years to science to only be called as a mad man.... Edison is such a sucker... A new respect for scientists, inventors (not edison i hate him) and Tesla has been formed in my mind I gave it 4 stars because the first eassay or 1/3 rd of the book is not about tesla.... But yeah it was pretty great . . . . #fiction #bookstagram #books #inventions #tesla #nikolatesla #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CO4l0n2B88H/?utm_medium=tumblr

Throne of glass🌌 By @therealsjmaas Genre:Fantasy Rating:🌟🌟🌟. 50 📙The Book revolves around Adarlan's most notorious assassin.. It was about Celaena Sardothien, the dangerous, badass young girl 📒Her journey from being an orphan to the most dangerous assassin adarlan has ever seen The book is about her struggles, her pain, her friends, enemies, lost love and betrayal 📓This is my first sarah j maas book so yeah i was pretty excited to read this 🌝Pros The book was well written Without dense language and with a lot of formal greeting btween characters Chaol and Nehemia's character was pretty strong and better than the protagonists The ending was strong and left an imprint 🌚Cons It wasnt up to the hype... I hope it gets better in the next book Not mentioning the back stories were definitely a drawback More than 60% of the book was not that engaging It got boring in the middle 👉Characters: 🧡Celaena could have been more badass and that would make her more relatable. This aint princess diaries so the flirting and greeting were not that necessary all the time. 💛Cain's character from the start was very encouraging to read him being the antagonist it was pretty good 💚Dorian - I love him but act like a crown prince, his character in the beginning was damn good his attitude and presentation but with the book proceeding he pretty much lost his personality 💙Chaol was i guess one of the best characters no doubt... His posture, loyalty, personality, charisma was top notch till the end 💜Nehemia was an absolute delight and though her presence wasnt as much as the other characters, her impact on me was greater than of other characters 🌹Nehemia is my absolute favourite 😍This was a worthy read and yeah its enjoyable, has that high school type vibe sometimes except in a royal way... #throneofglass #series #sarahjmaas #bookstagram #books #review #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/COvMaCUhUbO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pride and Prejudice💕 by Jane Austen Genre: Romantic Fiction Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟. 75 📙The Books Revolves around Marriage Class,Prejudice, family and Pride. 📘Elizabeth's, her prejudiced mindset and Darcy's Pride are basically the Plot of the story. 📗How characters with there pride and prejudice based on class treat another characters is also a dominant part of the story 📒This is my first classic read and this is the third time where i am able to finish this book with the help of audiobook, ebook and chapterwise analysis😅😋 📓Characters : 🏵Eliza and her character is believable as she is not perfect but accepts herself as she is becoming the badass heroine she is, her prejudice against others is her significant flaw.. Her character growth is gradual, believable and possible which makes her a great character. 🌸Darcy's character is relatable to me. His character growth is one of my favourite things in the book. From being a selfish and proud man to becoming an amiable person is 👍👍 🌼Elizabeth and Darcy bring the best out of each other, how very well elizabeth can interpret darcy is an amazing this in the book. How elizabeth made him a better person and the way darcy made her believe that appearance and social manners have nothing to do with a person's character. 🌵Lady Catherine, Mrs. Bennet and Miss Bingley being the antagonist. All of their schemes with selfish motives backfired which made the plot believable. 🌹Darcy is my favourite character and everyone loves jane... If you dont love jane u r outright evil 😍In my opinion @freddycarter1 is the perfect Mr. Darcy😂😊 . . . #bookstagram #books #classic #romantic #bookreview #prideandprejudicebook #janeausten #fan #reader #elizabethbennet #darcy https://www.instagram.com/p/COr_cXphjLB/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Push💕💔 By @ashleyaudrain Genre:Domestic Fiction, Psychological thriller. Rating:🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🍁The Plot Blythe Connor has a loving husband, aspires to become a writer and hopes to become a good mother. When her daughter violet is born, she strikes her different. She feels something is wrong with her baby. Fox Connor dismisses every suspicion of her. When her son Sam is born, she feels much better and has great motherly affection for him which she couldnt have for Violet And then her life takes an unexpected and devastating 180° turn. 🌐Characters 🦋Blythe She is kind, loving abd affectionate women. After Violet, the change in her is noticeable. She struggles through her past and present. She is scared and sccared and suffers due to her mistakes, her fate. Her character growth is something i like about the book. 🐝Fox I particularly do not like Fox. He may be a great father but fails as a husband. He never even tried to understand Blythe, her situation and what she goes through. He cheats on her, never stands up for her and probably will regret not listening to her in the aftermath. 🐙Violet She is a quiet, reserved and a pretty hard child. I want to keep the review spoiler free so writing much about her character wont be great. 🗨My thoughts ☯This book made me cry and the writing actually made you feel every sorrow and suffering of the characters. ☯Many people reviewed this book and called it absurd. Just because we do not have such relationship with our mother/daughter we cannot outright call this absurd. ☯We as a society should LISTEN to women and help them rathe then dismissing everything with the excuse of hormones and overthinking. 💕This is definitely my favourite book of the year. #bookstagramfeature #bookstagramindia #bookreviewblog #thepush #ashleyaudrain #motherhood #psychologicalthriller https://www.instagram.com/p/CPNx4TPBCIm/?utm_medium=tumblr

They evolve into something much more beautiful and pure. Heartstopper is the story of Nick and Charlie from coming out and accepting themselves as they are and making themselves enough for each other. 🏛Setting They study in Truham High School.

The Sea of Monsters🌊🌀🦈 By Rick Riordan Genre-Fantasy, Mythology Rating-4.25🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ 🌋The Plot This book is where Camp Half blood is under attack and if not saved monsters (Big monsters) can ravage the camp... Percy, Annabeth have to Find the Golden Fleece save the camp. They also have to find grover who is in danger... Will they be able to save the camp?? Obviously they are heroes😉🙄.....But at what cost?? 🏔This is the second book in the percy jackson series and is much more believable then the first book 🌐Characters 🤽Percy He is the antagonist and as usual a trouble magnet... In my opinion Percy is crazy to think poseidon is gonna baby him all the time....he aint got time to praise (He is a God) Most of the Mortal Dads dont praise their kids how can he expect a god to? But from a 13 year old perspective i guess he is pretty believable on being angry on poseidon, not accepting tyson as him brother.. His character grows when he accepts tyson as his baby bro and is happy in him happiness 🎓Annabeth She is good and definitely that prodigy character who knows everything,always has solution or else who gonna help the idiotic protagonist 🍀Grover He did not do anything for the last 2 books😕😒 🦂Luke You call yourself a villain... Luke is so bad at being bad... What kind of villain just talks and talks and talks... He had a lot of time to kill annabeth and percy, to capture them and what not but is Hopeless. 🥈Originality I love PJ... The first time i read this i literally overlooked all the flaws and loved it now i realise the plot, the characters And their similarity with HP The similarities are 🤐🤐😳 ⛰A troubled protagonist(Percy) =Harry potter ⛰An intelligent, problem solver(Annabeth) =Hermione Granger ⛰A lowkey bestfriend(Grover) =Ron weasley ⛰An old wise man(Chiron ) =Dumbledore 😒A prophecy concerning one guy who will change the fate 😕Tavis and Connor Stoll are Basically Fred and George Weasley 😐Clarisse is DRACO MALFOY😶 This series lacks originality but i cant help stop loving it due to nostalgia and fantasy love 😍 #bookstagram #bookreview #seaofmonsters #percyjackson #rickriordan (at Camp Half-Blood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPDf20rhk1i/?utm_medium=tumblr
