To Travel is to Live

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: To Travel is to Live 📚

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“To Travel is to Live” written by the author Grace Ruto is a kinda book that fits perfectly to my reading taste. In this book, the author has mentioned about her different travel experiences and how she felt alive and gained confidence, courage, etc.

“Adventure in Bedfordshire and Woburn Abbey” is my favorite from the book. The author has mentioned her experiences and she has also included beautiful pictures of different places. Grace took her first foreign trip to Santa Ponsa, Balearic Islands in Spain. She seems so happy in the pictures as it was her dream country. This book is an eye opener. It inspired me to travel to my dream places.

This book inspires the readers to take adventures and become the best version of themselves. Readers would get to know about the amazing places in the world. The writing style of the author is nice and she has used lucid language in this book. I enjoyed reading this book on the weekend. Looking forward to reading more books by the author.

“Many More School Days, Holidays, and All Days That Lie Between” written by the author Nicole Brown is a collection of poetry about education and holidays. This book took me down the memory lane to my school days.

We celebrate living in America every day.
R.O.C.K. with us today in the USA. From sea to shining sea, Americans, we are,
And Americans we will be.
With love we dearly say,
That we’re American and proud. This is our country, from the east coast,
To the west coast,
And specifically, the state of Mississippi.
Living in America is a joy daily.

The above is a poem “Living in America” that makes the Americans realize how happy and proud they are to be American. Another poem “Noble Character is Always in Style” is a reminder for all of us to be kind at work, home and school.

These poems are written well. One could relate to them easily. Readers would learn a few lessons from this book. The language used is easy to follow and I am glad to get my hands on this latest book by Nicole. I strongly recommend it to all school and college students. They would have a great time reading it.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Beachdaze written by the author TW Lawless is the sixth installment in the Peter Clancy book series. The protagonist of the story is Peter Clancy, an investigative journalist in London. After surviving a mild heart attack, the doctor gave him an ultimatum to change his lifestyle and get away from the bad influences. Peter was advised to find some serenity in life and live a healthy life.

He moved to a peaceful town of Serenity Bay, Melbourne, Australia. Peter bought a beach house and found out a week later that his neighbours are both nosy and noisy. Soon, Serenity Bay started to feel like Hicksville by the sea. Peter wants to stay low key but the situations and people of Serenity Bay are pulling him in.

This is a gripping story and it kept me on the edge until the last page. The cover photo of the book is nice and the title couldn’t have been better than this. The character of Peter is really interesting. Even though this book is sixth in the series, one could read it as standalone also. Add this book to your tbr. You would have a great time reading it.

Dope By Wev

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Dope 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Wev ✍️
.
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
In his debut book Dope, the author has mentioned that he is the living proof that being stupid is the best thing. Wev who was a drug addict and alcoholic for most of his adult life finds madness, misadventures, trouble, etc wherever he goes.

One of the stupidest things that the author has done was impregnating his wife KT within three weeks of meeting her. Once Wev was asked to leave the hotel as he was smoking weed there. While waiting for his salary, he spent a night on the street with a homeless guy.

“Don’t trouble the trouble. If you trouble the trouble, trouble troubles you.”

The second line from the above quote fits Wev’s life well. Wev is always on the lookout for trouble no matter how much the trouble hides itself from him.

Wev searches for silliness and gets into awkward situations but he loves this awkwardness. Through this book, the author is inspiring readers by telling them about his misadventures. After reading this book, I realized not to be too serious in life and have some fun by getting myself into different situations. A great funny, humorous book that one should read for sure.
