Pupple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie is a great book. I have read it before, so it's not anything new. But each time I carry it, I feel like it's my first time. Domestic violence is a disease. I rate it 5 out of 5 any day!

Book 33: The confessions of Arsene Lupin by Maurice Leblanc. A set of ten short stories about the character of Lupin. It's a lot like the first book in the series that only had short stories. There is a lot of variety in this collection, you can see how the character has grown along with the writer when compared to the first book. My favorite story, of course, was the one about Lupin's marriage. It was everything I imagined. 4/5

Book 34: Manual for the footwear industry by Alberto Ventura Alache. Educational and understandable. It can serve as a guide to start making footwear on your own, since the explanatory graphics are very practical and helpful in taking measurements, cutting, assembling and finishing the footwear. 4/5

The last book that I read was Boy Meets Girl - Say Hello Courtship by Joshua Harris. My rating is 4 out of 5. It was fun and informative on christian perspective.

Days of the Giants by RJ Petrella. I give it a 5/5. It is an excellent read. If you're into medical thrillers I highly recommend it.

Normal People by Sally Rooney.
2/5
There are a few outstanding chapters but overall a little disappointed because the reviews I had read before reading the book were disingenuous and gave me high expectations.

Mythic Worlds and the One You Can Believe In by Harold Toliver.

The book was a good read. A few errors, but nothing you can't overlook.

Book 35: The woman of mystery by Maurice Leblanc. I don't understand why this book is included in the Lupin series, since he doesn't appear here nor is he remotely linked to the unfolding case (although they do make a joke out there on his and Sherlock's behalf). Hence my disappointment and its low rating.
The story wasn't bad, although Paul, the protagonist, who leaves his newlywed wife at the mercy of Germans enemies in the middle of the war, I didn't like from the beginning. He would have had nothing to tell in this book if he had separated the troubles of his wife's family from her, who had always been an individual who had not done anything.
What I did find interesting was the revelation of the mystery woman, so I was not over disappointed. 3/5
