April 28th, 2019 || today is a defining moment for Spanish politics... and I’m hoping I don’t wake up tomorrow to a fascist government because I cannot believe we have to face this type of shit still in 2019 😔 . Anyways, today I bring you the READING WRAP-UP n° 5: books 20-24. . 🌻It’s Not Me, It’s You by Mhairi McFarlane. Cute and funny love story (7/10). 🌻Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi. This was quite an interesting reading experience. Not sure exactly what to make of it but I enjoyed the experience (7.5/10). 🌻It’s Not About the Burqa, edited by Mariam Khan. My first 5 star reading of the year and deservedly so. Extremely powerful and informative. A massive eye-opener and one I recommend for sure (9.5/10). 🌻Bottled Goods by Sophie van Llewyn. This didn’t work for me at all and although it deals with such a horrible period of Romanian history I felt absolutely nothing and I feel awful about it. I was so detached from the story (4/10). 🌻The Binding by Bridget Collins. The marketing campaign for this one did us all dirty. I was promised a mystery/fantasy novel... did I get that? NOPE. I got a bloody romance and not even a well-written one. I mean, there is nothing wrong with a romance novel but for fuck’s sake, sell it as such. I was so angry while reading it and if it wasn’t because I had to read it for the owl’s readathon I would’ve dnfed it. There is not enough background and the characters lack depth. A very shallow story (1/10). . It’s kind of funny that in the same period of time I read the best book and the worst book of the year so far 😂 . . Hope you are enjoying your Sunday wherever you are 💕 • • • #readingwrapup #adayinbooklandreviews #itsnotmeitsyou #freshwater #itsnotabouttheburqa #bottledgoods #womensprize #thebinding #booksonbooks #fortheloveofreading #bookstack #stackofbooks https://www.instagram.com/adayinbookland/p/BwzE9YUn7ko/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=181wpf9rgv0it
