The last book I read is The Story of O by Pauline Reage/ Anne Desclos.
Different from the other books of its type on the basis of its utter submission in its main character. The love of secrecy, silence ( unless brought to screams) and obedience.

The last book I read was A COURT OF FROST AND STARLIGHT by Sarah J Maas. I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn't necessarily a bad book. It was just a disappointing read and it failed in comparison to the three previous installations of the series. Maybe it was the lack of drama or maybe it was because I started with too many expectations, I did not enjoy it as much as I did the previous ones.

The last book I read was 'The MISOGI Method: The Way To Achieve Lasting Happiness And Success' by Jody B. Miller. I rated it 4 stars – a great read. It's one of those self-help books that turn you inside out, forcing you to rethink your life up to this point and giving you that kick in the behind to get moving.

The last book I read was, “The Invisible Lofe of Addie LaRue. I got it 3.5/5. It was a nice story that I would recommend others to read but probably will not read again.

The book "Women" by Boyle, T.C. is the last book i read this month. This is an intriguing book revolving around a talented renowned American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright was involved with four different women and its interesting how he proceeds from one relationship to another, discarding the old and moving on with his new catch. The book gives an account of Wright's life through his relationship with four women: Kitty, the mother of his children, Miriam, a morphine addict, Olgivanna, a young dancer, and Mamah, who died in a massacre in his palatial home at Taliesin.
I believe the moral of the story is that sometimes hurting the feelings of people who love you, because you have power and wealth, comes with its dire consequences. In the end, Wright lost everything because he was insensitive, selfish, and ambitious.
I give this book a 4 star rating in the genre of fictional accounts based on real life stories.

I was asked to review a book that is about to come out, The Forever Pact by J.S. Cooper. It's a romance novel and I absolutely loved it! Recently, I've been getting into spy novels, however, my go to when I just want a quick read are still romance novels. Book 1 of the Forever Pact was awesome for an easy read and I can't wait for the other books in the series to come out!

The last book I read was A Voice from Heaven by Diane Pomerantz. This is a fascinating true story about the grief of an a couple who lose their twenty one year old son, Alec, to a drug overdose and how his mom reconnects with him in the afterlife. This book gives hope to people suffering from substance abuse and people grieving the loss of a loved one. I rate this book a five out of five stars.

Ghosts of Fear Street: The Attack of the Aqua Apes - It should be noted that, despite the title, this has nothing to do with ghosts. It's about a monkeylike creature that needs water like a fish. The story is a lot of fun with many memorable moments and surprises. If you want developed characters, a strong message, etc. then look elsewhere. This is just entertainment with a sometimes cute, sometimes dangerous monster. I give it 8/10 because the ending could have been a little better but mostly I had a great time with it.
