Hello, lovely souls! I had some free time today, so I decided to cook something for you. Inspired by one of Celine's lovely blogs, which you can read here, I decided to experiment a bit. Just like Celine did, I went to an online random word generator and generated five random words. The challenge is for me to recommend you five books based off of these words. Let's begin! Thanks for your time!
━━━━✥◈✥━━━━
1. Attic
"Educated" by Tara Westover
This book is a Non-Fiction novel and is a form of autobiography written by a woman who grew up isolated in a strictly religious family. She didn't have hospital records as she never went to the hospital or school. To this day, she doesn't even know her exact birthday date. The book is a heartbreaking and mind-blowing read that will definitely make you ask a lot of questions.
━━━━✥◈✥━━━━
2. Shadow
The "Frieda Klein" series by Nicci French
When I saw the word above, I instantly knew which books I was going to choose. If you are into the Crime/Suspense/Detective genres, please don't skip this series. Frieda Klein, the main protagonist, is an amazing fictional character. Troubled, genius, provocative, complicated, empathetic. I love her, so I hope you will, too. She gets involved in various murders, kidnappings, and crimes with multiple consequences. Very quick reads!
━━━━✥◈✥━━━━
3. Hair
"Children of Blood and Bone" by Tomi Adeyemi
Okay, I wasn't expecting this word at all, but let's roll with it. For this one, I'm recommending "Children of Blood and Bone". It's a relatively new release, the first installment in a YA Fantasy series. It's got pretty much everything: magic, feminism, friendship, love. Most of the main and secondary characters are amazing and I loved reading about all of them. I can't wait for the sequel!
━━━━✥◈✥━━━━
4. Music
"The Sound of Music" by Maria Von Trapp
It's getting more and more difficult by the moment. However, after some thought, I found a book that I've never mentioned and it is actually one of my favorite books of all time die to the childhood memories that accompany it. Most of you must be familiar with the film adaptation, with Julie Andrews as the main protagonist. This book is heartwarming, sweet, hopeful, absolutely beautiful. And the theme of music is fundamental to the plot, so it's quite fitting.
━━━━✥◈✥━━━━
5. Journey
"One Day" by David Nicholls
This book takes place in London, so we mentally travel there while reading, hence my choice for the word above. The plot is set in 1988 and tells the story of Dexter and Emma who have only just met on the night of their graduation. Over twenty years, snapshots of their relationship are revealed on the same day -July 15th- of each year. It's a sweet and lovely book with various life lessons and thoughts to mentally wander on. Please give it a chance.

That is all with this blog, friends. Thank you so much for reading it! Feel free to your own version of Celine's idea. I definitely had the most fun when I was writing it and I hope you'll feel exactly the same. Let me know which books you are current reading, I'm always hungry for new recommendations! See you around, everyone!
Happy reading and writing! :book: :book: :book:

I have been hearing about Educated everywhere lately, so I guess that means it must be really good! Awesome blog, thanks for the recommendations :heart:

No worries, thanks for liking the blog, hon! Yes, the book is amazing, I highly recommend it!
May I ask you... How fo you feel about one or two typos in blogs? I'm asking you because your posts are always flawless and you seem like you spend time on them, editing and stuff. English isn't my native language and no matter how hard I try, some tiny mistakes always elude my attention and I feel that this lessens my blogs' quality. Any thoughts?

Wow, I was not expecting this at all. I feel like YOUR blogs are always flawless and amazing and splendid, not mine. Haha. English isn't my native language either, and I still have a lot to learn: the only thing that I do is proofreading. I proofread a lot before posting my blogs here, but there will always be some mistake that I won't notice: it happens to all of us. But I don't mind typos or grammar errors at all - I don't feel like they lessen the quality of the blog, and I am well aware that many people here are not from an English-speaking country. But we are all trying our best and that's what matters :heart:
I still feel like that was a question I should have asked you, though! Haha. You are always so eloquent and you can put your thoughts into words perfectly! Seriously, I would have thought that your first language is English, that's how good you are! But still, thanks for the kind words and for asking as well. I hope my answer somewhat helped :heart: :heart: :heart:
Educated sounds like a really interesting book. I don't enjoy autobiographies or non-fiction but good vibes~~~
Also, I wish I could play like Jenga with books like the last pic ^
It is an awesome and very educating book, I highly urge you to pick it up as soon as you can, fam! And, yes, haha, that would be so cool!!!
Great blog! I didn’t even know The Sound of Music was a book. :sweat_smile:
