✏️ My Review:
Fredrik Backman is one of my favorite authors. His writing style is fun and he succeeds to make me LOL a lot. Things My Son Needs to Know About the World is a message to his son. It is full of advice on what to do or not to do to make it in this world. The book is divided into several quirky short stories which will make you laugh and think. This is a must-read to all parents who think they are not so good at this thing called parenting. After reading this book, you will appreciate that you are not so bad after all.

Word of advice: choose well where you read this book. I was reading it in the quiet zone on my commuter train and burst out laughing many times and I was getting angry or annoyed looks by those seated around me. I pointed to the book and mouthed that they should read this one. Some nodded in agreement. WIN!

Thank you, Simon and Schuster Canada for sending me this whimsical book. Things My Son Needs to Know About the World by Fredrik Backman will be available at your favourite bookstore on May 7, 2019.

Review: Fight For Her by Liz Plum

Fight For Her  by  Liz Plum My rating:  3 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! FIGHT FOR HER by Liz Plum is a coming-of-age YA Romance. It is an easy-going story about a love triangle between a popular girl, a star athlete, and a bad boy. The story was interesting and had some potential. It was just a bit too juvenile for my taste and sometimes too dramatic. It is nonetheless an enjoyable love story if you put your teenager's thinking cap on. The author delivered a good story with a lovely ending. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #fightforher #lizplum #bookreview View all my reviews

Asking for a Friend  by  Kerry Clare My rating:  3 of 5 stars Kerry Clare's ASKING FOR A FRIEND is a beautifully crafted exploration of the enduring bond between two women, Jess and Clara, who meet in university and embark on a journey through life's tumultuous terrain. This character-driven narrative delves deep into their complex friendship, which spans two decades and weaves through love, heartbreak, marriage, anxiety, and the multifaceted challenges of motherhood.

This book celebrates the strength of female friendships, emphasizing the significance of history, familiarity, and loyalty in sustaining these connections over time.

Review: Waves by Ingrid Chabbert

Waves  by  Ingrid Chabbert My rating:  5 of 5 stars WAVES, written by Ingrid Chabbert and beautifully illustrated by Carole Maurel, is a deeply personal and poetic graphic novel that explores the profound journey of a young couple trying to conceive. Drawing from the author's own experience, the story delves into the emotional depths of heartbreak, resilience, and the power of hope. The use of metaphors in Waves is exceptional, creating a mesmerizing reading experience. Chabbert skillfully weaves together the themes of writing, coping, and healing, forming a profound connection between the protagonist's pain and her quest for renewal. The dreamlike illustrations by Carole Maurel add an ethereal touch to the narrative, particularly in the visual depiction of the boat and waves of paper. While the subject matter is emotionally intense, WAVES is an extraordinary work that invites readers to embrace vulnerability and contemplate the complexities of life. I highly recommend this gra
