Why to read 
.
- Coz it's Molly 
- Coz she had difficulty in social interactions and now she has grown a lot 
- to see how she solves this one and keeps herself safe 
- the Innocence of Molly and her Naivety that keeps us coming back for her 
- Basically for Molly 
- and For Change in officer Stark 
- New background story of Molly and Gran



Negative Points 
.
- Repetition of Grandma's thoughts and quotes 
- other characters are also doing and saying the same thing as Gran does.

But it's Molly'e POV so she is thinking of them again and again hence there is repetition (and it gets boring sometimes) 
But 
Other characters are also doing what Gran did or saying what gran said 
.
Need to change a few things here 
.
Otherwise we are ok with how Molly is 
.
Or Maybe take another character POV if there is the next one 🤪
And 
Would have loved it if Juan was there in the story 😞

This book is for those who like to read 
- Creepy 
- blood curdling murders
- about serial killers 
- when things go on till then very end 
- a proper thriller
- fast paced 
- when murder starts from the very first chapter 



What i didn't like 
- nothing much as such 


It was creepiest till it's very core 

If you are looking for a good thriller 

Then you are in the right place ✋

This is the second book I read by the author and I recommend it 100%

Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-reum
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

It was making me sleepy and there was nothing new 
What we do as a Bookstagrammer or a reader or as a bookshop owner it was just approval of that.
It was good 
To like we can say 
It was too much feel good to handle.
.
It made me sleepy ..
.
Definitely not for me 😞

Greek Mythology: The Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes Handbook: From Aphrodite to Zeus, a Profile of Who's Who in Greek Mythology by Liv Albert

adventurous dark inspiring mysterious reflective fast-paced

5.0

This is an Amazing book
It's like an handbook almost like a dictionary of Greek Gods, Heroes and other important characters.
.
It had details of all Gods and their misdeeds 
Author calls things what it is 
If it is Assault by God then it is .
If it is unnecessary creating problems for humans then it is 
.
Authors has done good research and also mentions popular books and movies which took refrence from original myths 
.
This is ideal read for those who are new to Greek gods and 
Also for those who think they know it all by just reading Mythological "Fiction".
.
A must read for a fan of Greek Mythology
It's like talking to expert and with all the inside jokes .
.
Amazing book buys 
Why didn't I read it before idk 😶
.
All the trigger warnings I gave come in any Greek narrative 😕
