@prhinternational #partner | Happy Pub Day to LIKE HOME by Louisa Onomé! 🎉 Here's the full synopsis: "Chinelo, or Nelo as her best friend Kate calls her, is all about her neighborhood Ginger East. She loves its chill vibe, ride-or-die sense of community, and her memories of growing up there. Ginger East isn't what it used to be, though. After a deadly incident at the local arcade, all her closest friends moved away, except for Kate. But as long as they have each other, Nelo's good. Only, Kate's parents' corner store is vandalized, leaving Nelo shaken to her core. The police and the media are quick to point fingers, and soon more of the outside world descends on Ginger East with promises to "fix" it. Suddenly, Nelo finds herself in the middle of a drama unfolding on a national scale. Worse yet, Kate is acting strange. She's pushing Nelo away at the exact moment they need each other most. Nelo's entire world is morphing into something she hates, and she must figure out how to get things back on track or risk losing everything⁠—and everyone⁠—she loves."
I'm starting the #MurakamiMarathon with KAFKA ON THE SHORE. I dnf-ed this one last year because I couldn't seem to focus on the story but I want to try it again. I don't think i'll get a lot of reading today so i'm officially starting tomorrow. What are you reading? 😊
Expectation vs. Reality
I spent the morning listing the titles of all the physical books I own. How productive! 😄 It took me almost 4 hours but it was fun and surprisingly relaxing. I also got two books in the mail today. I bought them from @onceuponabookclubbox's shop and they're from their previous adult boxes. One of the books is THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY by Matt Haig. I've been seeing this around lately and it seems like most of my friends enjoyed it.
When you just want to read but you keep zoning out. 🥲 This describes my reading lately. How about you? Have you read any amazing books lately? Happy Tuesday!
Happy Monday! I just posted my review (with spoilers) of STAY GOLD by Toby McSmith on my blog today. Link on my bio. I rarely share spoilers in my reviews but I didn't know how to express my thoughts about this book without mentioning some specific scenes. I initially gave it a 3-star but changed it to 2 when I was writing my thoughts. If you're planning on reading this book, please be aware of the trigger warnings. Have you read this book?
