I enjoyed this trilogy. This is the last book in the Edge Of Darkness trilogy and the author ties up the story perfectly. It's painful, intense and explicit but worth reading. Check trigger warnings first!

The Da Vinci Code’ is not a book you pick up to read for relaxation or fun. Have you read this book? One of the best books I've read.

This book was Written in a third person POV one of the aspect I love about this book. If you love thrillers and you haven't read this book, please do pick it up one of these days and read it.

Nothing stays buried forever and secrets have consequences. That's the summary of this dark, sensual and unsettling gothic fantasy. Keri Lake is the queen of gothic stories and I enjoyed reading this book. If you enjoy a blend of gothic horror, dark academia, medical mystery and forbidden romance, you'll love *Nocticadia*.

If you're in a conversation and the person you're talking to is in this position, end the conversation; that person has already lost interest. 

One of the must read books in history when it comes to investing. I really dove into all Kiyosaki's stuff, and Rich Dad is great. But Rich Dad Prophecy and Guide To Investing are much better reads. You should read Rich Dad first though, so get the concept.

Only reason this doesn't get a perfect score, is that it can be a lot of information to soak in...But overall, this is a must read book. Absolutely brilliant on so many levels, there's a reason it's so popular!

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince)

Hiding behind a barrier is a normal human response; we learn to cross our arms when we feel threatened.

If you're a literature teacher or you enjoy solving mysterious cases that spark your imagination, I highly recommend this book. I've had a physical copy for 20 years; it's fantastic.

After spending so much time reading dark romance, Passengers by John Marrs was exactly the change I needed. The story explores the frightening possibilities of AI, showing how technology meant to make our lives easier can become deadly in the wrong hands. Even though it was published in 2019, it feels even more relevant today. Fast-paced, suspenseful, and impossible to put down, I was constantly wondering which of the eight passengers would survive. Easily one of my favorite reads of the year.

Caraval by Stephanie Garber was such a curious and magical start to the series. What begins as two sisters' chance to escape their toxic home soon turns into a whirlwind of mystery, challenges, and constant uncertainty. Without spoiling anything, I'd describe this book with just a few words: sisters, love, compromises, and difficult decisions. With so many twists packed into the first installment, I'm already excited to see where the rest of the series takes the story.

The second book was even more enjoyable than the first, but I ended up giving it the same rating because I guessed a few of the plot twists, and the ending felt a bit too abrupt, clearly setting up the third book. That said, I was completely hooked by the story. This time, Tella takes the spotlight as she enters Caraval with much higher stakes than before. I also loved learning more about the sisters' family history, which added more depth to the story and made the journey even more enjoyable.

"People are rarely aware that their postures, movements, and gestures can tell one story while their voice tells another."

I'm reading "The Empty Cart," a story that holds a great reflection which I plan to analyze and write a post about very soon.

The story is full with simplicity but it feels so real because of the relatable scenes. Apu and Durga are my favourite characters they faced difficulties and still grew up happily, I was unexpectedly emotional by the end.

If you liked suqid game then reading this will be your best decision. It existed for a long time but I've never paid attention to it. If your thriller and suspense, omniscient readers perfectly fits for it. I loved it because it involved intensity which made me want to read more.

The gesture of displaying the palms of the hands has always been associated with truth. 

**Only with time** con el tiempo, aprendes que intentar perdonar o pedir perdon, decir que amas, que extrañas, que necesutas a alguien, ya no tiene ningun sentido ante una tumba

I am fortunate to have this book in my hands and reread it whenever I can; it is simple but very valuable. 

Reading **Rich Dad Poor Dad** changed how I think about money. It taught me to see assets, liabilities and financial freedom differently. A simple book with lessons that stay with you.

I read this wonderful Korean story, a fascinating and funny tale with a very comical moral. I recommend it if you like literature and if you like to laugh. #literature #fable
