A bookworm's life as we know it…
I have to admit, I’ve always been a sucker for atmospheric thrillers that make you feel like you’re living inside the story. The Only One Left by Riley Sager was a book I picked up on a whim, and I can honestly say it ended up being one of the most gripping reads I’ve had in a…
Watching The Gabby Petito Story documentary on Netflix was an emotional experience for me. I remember the widespread media coverage when Gabby went missing, but I hadn’t paid as much attention to the details of her relationship with Brian Laundrie until I saw this documentary. Seeing the whole timeline and the subtle signs of abuse…
I’ll admit, Rebecca had been on my reading list for a long time, but I never really knew what to expect. Everyone talks about how it’s a classic, but I had no idea how it would completely consume me once I started it. From the first page, I was pulled into this world of suspense and psychological…
Watching The Help always takes me back to some of the most powerful lessons I learned growing up, especially when I think about the relationships between the mothers and daughters in the film. With Mother’s Day around the corner, I can’t help but reflect on the deep bond between the women in the movie and how it…
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up Where the Crawdads Sing. I had heard so much about it—the praise, the reviews, the emotional impact it had on people. But honestly, I wasn’t sure it would be my type of book. But when I finally started reading, I found myself completely absorbed in Kya…
Watching Oppenheimer was an experience that felt deeply personal to me, not just as a filmgoer, but as someone trying to navigate the balance between ambition, responsibility, and the impact of my decisions. The film takes you into the mind of J. Robert Oppenheimer, a man who, through his genius and the weight of the decisions he…
I recently finished Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors, and honestly, it wasn’t quite what I was hoping for. I was drawn in by the premise of an American woman in her twenties, Cleopatra, meeting a much older British man, Frankenstein, and their whirlwind, often complicated relationship. It promised to be a deep dive into…
Looking for Alaska by John Green hit me in a way I wasn’t quite expecting. When I picked it up, I was looking for something to pass the time, but by the time I finished, I felt like I had experienced something deeply personal. It’s one of those books that, in a way, feels like…
I’ll never forget the first time I watched Stepmom (1998). It was one of those films that took me by surprise, making me laugh and cry all at once. The story centers around Isabel (played by Julia Roberts), a woman who becomes a stepmother to her boyfriend’s children, and Jackie (played by Susan Sarandon), their biological mother…
Before we start i’d like to let you know that I started my journey with this book when I was in Vancouver, BC during a long layover so you could just imagine how i look like all confused, puzzled, and in awe, and at the same time I hated that I have to look at…
