 Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them J.K. Rowling      Many might be familiar with the Fantastic Beasts movie series, but today I introduce you the the original book or screenplay behind it. I laid hands on my copy at a fill the box book fair and to be honest I picked up the book not because of being a Harry Potter Fan solely but just because I could get an aesthetically pleasing hardcover book for free!       Unlike a regular novel, this is the screenplay of the film, written by J. K. Rowling . The story follows Newt Scamander  , as he arrives in 1920s New York with a suitcase full of magical creatures that, naturally, escape and create chaos across the city. The screenplay format makes the book, from my point of view,  lagged and a bit boring. Readers can clearly imagine the scenes, magical settings, and creature action while reading. The 1920s wizarding society in New York feels fresh and different from Hogwarts, with unique ...

The Rest Of The Story SARAH DESSEN      The Rest of the Story  is a partially romance and mostly self discovery kind of novel.  The story follows Emma Saylor (who goes by Saylor, ofc, having an identity crisis). She’s living a very controlled, slightly boring life with her dad and stepmom. Then suddenly, she’s sent up to spend the summer with her mom’s side of the family at this place called North Lake… which is basically chaotic, loud, messy, and very different from what she’s used to.      The whole “two worlds” thing is done very well. On one side, she’s Emma. On the other, she’s Saylor. Same person, completely different identities. It’s not dramatic in a “world is ending” way, but more like… quiet confusion about who you are when different people expect different versions of you.You know, the way you feel when you are asked a very self explanatory question which can summarise up your whole life by a very nosy person.      Als...

  TAPE STEVEN CAMDEN      T ape by Steve Camden thinking is a quick read, It’s one of those books that’s short in pages and long in feelings. Like, you finish it fast, but your brain just kind of sits there afterward trying to process everything.      The story follows Ryan, who’s dealing with loss, guilt, and a lot of heavy thoughts that he doesn’t really know how to handle. Then there’s Ameliah, his future daughter. Their very sci-fi ,time defying  friendship is the heart of the book. Nothing about it is overly polished or fake.      The writing style is what really stands out. It’s written in texting and verse style which might , but it actually makes everything hit harder. The sentences are short, sometimes fragmented, but those lines just mirrors Ryan’s state of mind. It feels like you’re inside his head, which is slightly uncomfortable.      The themes are pretty intense. It talks about grief, mental health...

  DIVINE RIVALS REBECCA ROSS      I came across  Divine Rivals while casually scrolling through 'booktube', apparently a really good 'enemies to lovers book' and well...I decided to buy it. And now, here I am writing another review.  a literal war between gods and then emotional damage is the main course.      The story follows Iris Winnow, who is basically holding her life together with determination and mild chaos, and Roman Kitt, her annoyingly perfect rival at the newspaper. Naturally, they hate each other. 'naturally' , that doesn’t last. Because what’s better than rivals? Rivals who unknowingly write heartfelt letters to each other through a magical typewriter. The story takes a twist when Iris decides to become a war correspondent and Roman following her in the same path as he misses his rival. And then its all bickering, friendship and much more.     Speaking of the war aspect ,it’s not just background decoration. It actua...
