It’s Monday! What are You Reading? - 02.03.26

       

New week means new Monday bookish meme hosted by  The Book Date.

  

Finished 3 books since last time and only the first one was mildly disappointing - Under the Surface. I gave it 3 stars because there were a few intense scenes and a plot twist I didn't see coming, but the beginning was quite slow. Also, the "major" plot reveal felt bland and very predictable. 

That's why, when I picked up Codebreaker immediatelly after, I WAS BLOWN AWAY. This book is amazing both interactively (you can pause when reading and try to solve ciphers on your own) and plot wise. I loved the characters, loved the plot, loved the writing style...the only teeny tiny issue I had with it is the fact that it has a bit of an insta love situation. Although, you probably wouldn't notice it much because the romance takes up such a small percentage of the book that it's not that big of a deal.

Then I continued my reread session of The Naturals and had an emotional time reading the last book Bad Blood. I'm still not over it years later 😂 If anyone ever decides to make this a TV series I'd die of happiness seing my babies on the small screen.

This is a novella set a few years after the events of the last book and this is also quite literally the last time I'll have a chance to read about these characters 😭😭 The author doesn't plan on going back to this universe so yeah...I'm gonna go cry in a corner or something.

I mean, this is my third time reading it so I should be prepared BUT I'M NOT.

 

I'm definitely not a poetry type of person, I never fully understood it but I have a reading challenge prompt that requires it so yeah...I remembered Rupi Kaur because some of my friends read her work ages ago and loved it. 😊
