diary of a wannabe writer

Kali is a teenager, with an immortal soul. She is being punished for something that happened in Pompeii to live as a mortal girl along with her family. If she manages not to use her powers by the time she reaches 17 years, she and her family will go back to being immortal beings.  She hasn't managed to come to that age in 200 lifetimes, but what no one else knows, is that that is on purpose. She doesn't want to lose what she has and doesn't want anything to change.  This is the lifetime when it all changes. She is being blackmailed and is left with little to no choice. I like the premise of the story, but I had time to get into it. Kali is a very hard person to like and root for. ☆☆ ☆ book info published April 30, 2024 series The Wanshiqi Trilogy #1 GoodReads Amazon happy reading, anie

I couldn’t remember a moment like this when I wanted to bury my hands in a woman’s hair and discover the taste of her lips. In past dating experiences, I had all the romance planned out in my head well ahead of time. Right now, I was running on spontaneity, which wasn’t one of my strengths when it came to relationships of the past. Maybe it was time I tried something different. She pulled cash out of her mini-purse and held it out. "That's too much." "At least go halvsies." She shook the bills. "Keep it. Call it a thank you for making my first date in a long time memorable." She nibbled on her lip, an endearing quirk. "Okay, thanks. Walk me to my car. Then we’ll say goodbye." We strolled up the hill away from the restaurant in silence,

The story is set in the future, where everyone is playing an immersive virtual game. The MC is not the best player, but he is very persistent. He doesn't have the best luck and tends to make the wrong decisions. I liked the art and the idea behind the story but found it very hard to follow. I kept getting lost and losing focus on the story. rating❤❤❤ cover❤❤❤❤ artwork  ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

When Oceans Rise is a Little Mermaid retelling, with Filipino elements and alternate universes. It's such a great story, with great writing and interesting characters. It's a great and impactful story full of fantastical elements, but the ones that had the biggest impact on me were the realistic ones. The bad relationship that Malaya finds herself in, the intricacies of gaslighting, the subtleties of gaslighting, and abuse were portrayed in a very, very realistic way. We all feel like we couldn't find ourselves in that situation, it could never happen to me. And when you find yourself in that kind of situation, there is so much shame that you too, feel speechless, like Malaya did. Highly recommend it! rating❤❤❤ ❤ cover❤❤❤❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie
