🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“A Tiny Reason to Live” is the latest book that I have read by the author Shreyan Laha. It is the sequel of the book “Not Worth Living For”. The story is set in 4000 AD. A big asteroid is approaching the earth. The technology on earth is not so advanced to handle this situation. As a result of disaster, only 10 people survived.

The story focuses on these 10 people and their mission to go to another planet i.e. Neptune and survive there. It was interesting to know about the challenges they faced on their journey. Will they make it safely to Neptune?

One could read this book as a standalone also. Go ahead with this. The world building is large but you would definitely enjoy it. The title of the story is appropriate according to its content. Those who love reading stories with many characters would be delighted to read this one.

Calling Sci-fi fans to add this book to their tbr.

Follow Me written by the author Lisa Suzanne Nugent is a psychological thriller. The main characters of the story are Sophie and Max. They have had many fights. Sophie locks herself in a box for days and blames everyone else for her problems. She never shared about them with Max. All these things made Max fall out of love with her. He in fact, is now in love with Phoebe, Sophie’s best friend.

When Sophie was twenty one years old, she lost her mother to breast cancer. Since then, she finds it difficult to trust anyone with her feelings. She took two years to find the courage to start her life again. Her father’s optimism helped her. Now, she has lost her father to a heart attack.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Life Support by the author Nicole Brown is an interesting read. The main character of the story is Donnie Stacks. Donnie is pursuing false wealth. A young lady Nicole Broussard warns Donnie many times to not walk on that path but Donnie was blind by false wealth. He wasn’t able to see the truth which Nicole was trying to show him.

Will Donnie’s eyes open to the truth? Will he finally understand what Nicole was trying to tell him? We could relate to the character of Donnie very well. Many times in life, people around us warn us but we refuse to see the truth. This story is written in the form of a poetry journal and I enjoyed reading it.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
I love reading poetry journals. Recently I got my hands on the book “Cleansing the Temple” written by the author Britt Diane. This book is a collection of poems based on a woman’s healing journey.

This book takes the readers on a rollercoaster ride full of emotions of healing, heartbreak, loss, self-love, self-esteem, etc. Some of my favorite poems from the collection are: Make better decisions, Emotions, Transformation, Know Your Worth, etc.

If you knew how powerful sex is You wouldn’t have it with anybody. If you knew that your
Anger
Bitterness
Confusion
Depression
Self-hate
And anxiety
All came from the decision to Lay with someone you didn’t know……

This book reminds us to have high self-esteem, know our worth and not to look back. We shouldn’t let anyone hurt us more than once or twice. It’s better to cut such people from our lives.

This book is a reminder to trust God. When we believe in God, we receive his abundant love and growth in our life. Those who are trying to heal from an unhealthy relationship should get their hands on this book. You would be able to relate and would also find enlightenment. Well written book by the author. Looking forward to reading more books by the author in the near future.
