My review of hateful games by Simran

Image
Trope list Enemies to lovers Forced/arranged marriage Forced proximity Touch her and you die Billionaire romance "My wife" Mask kink My thoughts... Damn this bookkk. Ohmigosh * Blows air on her face* this book is something else. It's that type of book you can't afford to put down and you'd have to stay awake till the wee hours of the morning to finish. I had so much fun reading it. ROSALIE Rosalie is my favourite character hands down. The girl is a diva in every sense, she's an avid reader in every word and loves black. My babe wore black to her damn wedding * giggles* She's a badass with her kindle and dogs, always ready to defend her. Strong, resilient, courageous, doesn't take shit from anyone and unhinged. Did I say badass? Damn I love her. A quote from rosalie "a warning, Nova,” she retorts, lifting her chin daringly. “For everything of mine you ruin, I’ll wreck twice worse of yours. And the next time you dare to touch me, you’ll be waking up...

My Review of a thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini

Image
  My God. * Stares in space for a few minutes * This book. This book is as crazy as it is eye opening. Oh my God. I love women more than I've ever loved them, I hate 99.5 percent of the men in this book. Christ.! And the saddest part is that women still suffer everything the women in the book went through. Damn it. I hate the world. This is so unfair, what happened to Mariam was so unfair, and what happened to Laila so very unfair. They suffered so much, they knew pain and affliction first hand, their free will was taken away from them, they didn't even have any tangible human right. They were treated like lesser humans, treated like dirt (at this point even dirt had more value than them) they didn't have any other purpose in life except procreation. shooting out children like a machine shooting out baseballs.  Even that was painful and they passed through immense pain.The stupid men were treated like kings.  I cried for them, cried for Laila that only wanted to finish sc...

Review of Quick silver by Callie Hart

  Tropes in Quicksilver: Enemies to lovers Political intrigue Fated mates Banter Fae, witches, vampires and spirits (and humans) Forced proximity Found family Shadow daddy MMC Badass FMC  Ohmigoshhhhhhhhhhh I'm so giddy and feeling all sparkly inside. I love you so very much Callie Hart. So I started reading this book yesterday and it caught my attention (literally) it held unto me and refused to let go. SAERIS Saeris was giving badass from the very beginning, see me singing my diva is a female version of a hustla' while reading her part, she was GOOD. I loved how she loved and protected her brother, at first she reminded me of payden (I think that's why I was hooked from the beginning) she reminded me of strength, of surviving, and her badassery has-been acknowledged. She's witty, sarcastic as hell and tough. A good fighter, strong, protective of her family and doesn't give up in the face of danger. I absolutely LOVE her ohmigosh. KINGFISHER  My mannnnnnnnn (everyb...

Review of the fault in our stars

Image
This bookkkkk!!! Ohmigosh, I have A LOT to say. First of, I absolutely loved it, I got the book and the movie. I decided to watched the movie after reading the book to see how it'd feel like, if everything would go the same way and most especially to see the characters in human form* dreamy sigh. .* Anywhoo, I've heard from my friends that I'd cry ( actually I was looking for a sad book and a friend recommended it to me) but I'm literally made of steel * smirks * . I finished reading the book in one sitting, cause it was attention catchy and indulging (Very..) I loved the characters and how they developed. Hazelgrace..., I loved her, I loved her character and how I related to her reluctance to socialize ( the cave person in me is sneaking out.....* sighs *) She's a veryy intelligent person, witty, and very introspective. Often pondering on the inevitability of death and so much more (she'd make a wonderful philosophy professor). She meets Augustus and his friend...

Welcome to Elcarium - A bookish realm for the obsessed (and to be obsessed)

Hey there readers.. Hola, aloha (erm that's the only way I know how to say hello, anywhoo)if you've somehow wandered  into this part of the internet and found me in my girl cave (I swear I didn't get lost, and no, I'm not a cave girl..... yet), welcome to Elcarium — a space made for those of us who get overly attached to fictional characters, obsess over tropes, consider “just one more chapter” an outright lie and have TBR piles taller than us. Here, I’ll be sharing Book recommendations Trope breakdowns Themed lists Reviews And all the chaos that makes your reader heart beat faster.   Whether you love morally grey heroes, misunderstood villains, cinnamon roll mages, forbidden slow burns (the slow burn will really burn), or dark romances with just the right amount of chaos (maybe even more....... muhahahaha) this is your spot. Expect men who'll make you feel all giggly and sunshiny with their cuteness or psychopathic tendencies, and females that'll make you go ...
