Review: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I F*cking LOVED this book... One of my all time fav reads... Literally each and every paragraph is filled with so much wisdom, no bullshit, straight up, to the point wisdom.

It's a book that I want to read over and over and over again to remind myself of it's principles. One of my favorite principles is that we can't give a f about everything, we have to be careful about what f's to give, and how many.

I didn't even write notes for this book because there would be so many... next time I read it I'll make nicely condensed notes lol

Review: Raven's Gate

Raven's Gate by Anthony Horowitz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another surprisingly good read. I was always excited about what was going to happen next. Lots of imagination in this story, and it's well written. It's such an underrated book. The ending could have been better but it was still good.

I was scared this book was going to be like "The Darkest Minds" series which had a decent story but I just did not enjoy it at all. It didn't resonate with me... but Raven's Gate did.

Raven's Gate is kinda like Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children meets Percy Jackson

Review: Summer and the City

Summer and the City by Candace Bushnell
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

This book was surprisingly pretty good! It had a few dull moments but overall I enjoyed it, mostly for the girly dating chit chats lol

- It kinda has the feeling of the book Can you Keep a Secret.
- Lots of around the city descriptions, especially in the beginning
- Very jumpy, one place to another place to another place, not deep at all, skins over things
- Carrie inspires me that I should write something. And Bushnell inspires me to write a book similar to this, but better
- I like how Carrie goes around to the little shops and gets thrifty outfits lol her carpenter belt
- I love the group of the girls Miranda Carrie and Samantha. Where was Charlotte though? I guess she's a later on character. I love their chit chat amongst the girls. Miranda is so blunt and logical, Samantha is a bit ditsy but sexy, and Carrie is pretty self absorbed but she’s so friendly
- It was very very similar feel to sex and the city tv show. I'm on vacation in Mexico right now but when I get home I’m going to rewatch all of it <3
- This book was written in 2011 but it based in the 80’s and Carrie is only 17/18 in this. She thinks that a 30 year old guy is really old ouch lol I’m turning 30 this month >_<
- I love the love interest story lines
