MY JUNE TBR || Stephen King, Historical Non-Fiction and Middle Grade

-
Hello Beautiful People


For this month, I have decided to have a tbr. I usually don't do TBRs, because I am a mood reader and I might not feel in the mood to read a book I have picked at the beginning at the month. What brought me to a change in mind is, I want to read more and maybe a tbr would help me do so.



The first book on my list is a book I am currently reading and it is 'Rasputine: A Short History by Frances Welch'. I started reading this book a while ago and I ended up finding a lot of issues with it. So, for this month, I would like to finish it and get it over with. 

I recently started reading Cell by Stephen King, and I am impressed by the writing. So far, the book is continuing with the scene it started with, but it doesn't feel stretched out at all. The story is fast paced and thrilling, and I am all for it. This is going to be my third Stephen King book, I have read Carrie and On Writing before, and I can't wait to devour it. 

After I am done with Stephen King's Cell, I would love to read Joyland by the same author. The book caught my attention, because of the cover; it is very pulp fiction-ish. If I am not mistaken, the story takes place in a circus, and I enjoy reading everything set in circus. 

Other than these physical books, I am going to be reading some ebooks, and at the moment I am reading 'Lulu The Broadway Mouse' by Jenna Gavigan. This is a middle grade novel about a mouse who wants to become a broadway musical actress. I am only 20 pages in and it is the cutes most adorable thing I have read. The writing style is very engaging with the reader and I am loving Lulu's voice. 

If I manage to finish all of these lovely books, I might read some middle grade ebooks I have for review. 

That is it for my tbr for the month of June. I believe I am being very ambitious this month, but it is fine, because I just finished my uni trimester and I am currently "free". That is it about me, what about you. What is your tbr for the month of June? 

Thank you for reading, and I will see you in my next post.

Book Review || Frida Kahlo: A Spiritual Biography by Jack Rummel

Hello Beautiful people,  I first came to know about Frida Khalo, through my studies in University. I had to write an essay about Surrealism, and she was one of the artists that popped up during my research. When I read about Khalo online, I have become interested in her artworks and in her, the artist. To know more about Frida Khalo, I decided to read this biography about her life, art and country. The biography also tries to show a spiritual side to Frida Khalo and her artworks, although she was an atheist. The writing in this biography is fun to read through, and I simply found myself flying through it. I am always worried I might not end up finishing a nonfiction book, because of the writing style, however, in this one, all my worries were gone. The writer manages to hold my interest and make me enjoy reading the book. Although it is a biography about Frida Khalo, it also covers the political situation of Mexico (and the world), and relates it to Khalo's beliefs a

Book Review || Behind the Scenes: Avant-Garde Techniques of Contemporary Design

Hello Beautiful People,  A while ago I've picked up this book on architecture and design from the library, and I finally finished reading it now. The topic interested me, and I thought I would find something useful for my major (I am taking Industrial Design). The book started on a good note, talking about CAD, the software used and how they function. I find the later unnecessary, nevertheless, it is great to read about if you don't know how the software processes your inputs. The book slowly progresses toward techniques architects have used to create their designs. it is interesting, but so much of what is tackled in the book I already knew about. Especially the second half. The book switches to discuss topics such as; interface design, interactivity and VR, which isn't why I have picked this book up for . Moreover, everything the book mentions about VR is generally known knowledge, but written obnoxiously. The writing style makes the book an extreme

Book Review || The A.B.C Murders by Agatha Christie

Hello Netizens,  Recently I have read the A.B.C Murders by Agatha Christie, as a way for me to see if Agatha's book are my cup of tea. I have read previously 'Murder on the Orient Express' and I wasn't pleased at all with the ending.  Let me first introduce you to the book. Title: The A.B.C. Murders  Author: Agatha Christie Genre: Crime/Mystery Synopsis:  When Alice Ascher is murdered in Andover, Hercule Poirot is already on to the clues. Alphabetically speaking, it's one down, twenty-five to go. Rating: (4/5) Stars Review:   This book is a crime mystery about a serial killer, that murders their victims alphabetically. The story is told from the perspective of Hasting, however, sometimes it would switch to an unknown narrator. I was a little confused at the beginning with narrative, because it didn't follow the same narrative style in 'Muder on the Orient Express.' The characters in this story are well fleshed, considering
