BOOK REVIEW
4 STARS

A fast-paced short story that ended far too early (at least it is the first of the series!).

Lisa, 26, and old-fashioned when it comes to dating. On the day her 26th birthday, she spends it the same way as she usually does - sobbing over her favourite romance movie and questioning why is she alone. This night her best friend, Laura promises it will be different. She is there to help her out.

Do be warned, this book contains swearing.

All her life, she met guys who have ill-intentions. Lisa is now 26 and is looking for a man who is different. However, it is difficult and to her, it may even seem impossible. Will she be able to find her Mr. Right in the end?

This review is spoiler free: In this book, it highlights the fear that some women may face in the working field. This really stood out to me. Despite the whole romance being the biggest part of this story, I especially loved it when the author wrote about this problem.

The short story ends with a cliffhanger and it definitely makes me as a reader wanting to read more.

REVIEW: The Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman by Denis Thériault

The Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman by Denis Thériault Get it here BOOK SUMMARY: Bilodo lives a solitary daily life, routinely completing his postal rounds every day and returning to his empty Montreal apartment.

And so Bilodo makes an extraordinary decision—he will impersonate Gaston and continue to write to Ségolène under this guise....

JUNE WRAP-UP

The month of June has been absolutely wonderful! I've not read as many books as I had in May, however, most of the books I've read were worthy of 5 stars. I've dipped my toes into the world of sci-fi, it was a huge step for me since I've always stayed comfortable in the land of Fantasy. I've also read and reviewed a poem collection, which was something different too. Here are the books I've read in June, in no particular order. 1. NIMBUS by A.C. Miller The storyline of NIMBUS has captivated me from the start. Over in the land of Nimbus, 14 year-olds are separated from their families for 11 years to live outside the wall. Every day, kids are fighting for their lives, suffering to find food and shelter. They were kicked out without any skills to defend themselves. Only the strong ones can survive. The writing was consistent, never had there been a moment that was boring. Every character faced their portion of pain and suffering but continued to...
