I enjoyed the first one more because of the comedic aspect of it, but the second one was just as steamy. It was an old friends-ish to lovers trope.

Destroy Me

book cover


This novella is from Warner’s point of view after the events of the first book: Shatter Me. I gave this book three stars not because I don’t like it but because there wasn’t anything crazy out of the ordinary about it and I think that had to do with the fact that I read the first three books and then came back to read this novella. I feel like it also got repetitive at times. I really enjoyed it in the sense that we get to see Warner’s feelings after he portrays himself as a tough bad guy in the first book. I think if you really want an element of newness, you should read it directly after the first book when we don’t know so much about Warner from the next books already. However, even though I read it after the first three books, I still enjoyed back tracking and getting to experience the events from the end of Shatter Me and beginning of Unravel Me and everything in between from Warner’s perspective. We also get to see bits from Juliette’s journal that is spoken about in Shatter Me and of course Mafi’s writing and use of similes and metaphors are excellent. It makes you feel the character’s pain.

1984

I read this book in high school and remember enjoying it. I wanted to re-read it to see how it compares with the actuality of life now, in terms of the technological "advances" that were used in the book. It turned out that I remembered scenes from the book that I guess I fabricated; only one thing that I recalled actually took place in the novel. The book did not hold my attention, and I wouldn't recommend it. I imagine it meant more when the Cold War was still in effect.

It is an excellent text to learn Spanish as a beginner, and can be borrowed from the library. (Hola! Hablo un poco de Espanol.) Hi! I speak a little bit of Spanish.

A well-loved woman in a small town has died after being shot with an arrow. A famous inspector comes from Montreal to try to figure out whether this was murder or a hunting accident, and who shot her. We meet most of the residents of the town. This book has many funny parts as well as a good mystery. Highly recommended. I look forward to reading the other books in this series

I listened to the audible version read by Jeremy Sisto. Wow, It was unputdownable and very moving but also sad and disturbing.
