After a short adjustment period, Iconnectingadded was initially drawn into the book but soon became engrossed in the captivating plot. The dynamic between Julian and Poppy, with their contrasting backgrounds and experiences, added depth to the story. The humour throughout the narrative made me laugh out loud, blending seamlessly with the mystery and romance elements. The supporting characters, like Harper, Kent, and Theo, brought additional layers to the storyline, leaving me eager to delve deeper into their journeys. The author's writing style was engaging and easy to follow, connecting with the characters and their development. Overall, it was a delightful read that kept me hooked from start to finish.

 Thanks to Kalediscopetours and Candice Jalili for my copy of Finding Famous, a Mashad Family Novel.

I have to say, this is one of my top reads so far this year. I have absolutely loved every moment of this book, following Josie on her journey from being a shy teen to becoming a member of one of the most famous families in the world. She discovers her biological dad was a Mashad on her 18th birthday after her mom had already passed and her stepdad, Matt, is looking after her.

I love seeing the dynamics of how the families are interacting with each other and how being a Mashad and famous is making Josie feel. I love the relationships she gains with her sister and Mary. My favourite has to be Timmy, but you'll have to read to find out why.

 I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of Now Conjuries. I was fortunate to receive an audio version of this book, and I really enjoyed the narrator's style and how he conveyed emotions throughout the book.
This novel evokes a strong sense of nostalgia for the 90s and draws parallels with "The Craft," a popular film from that era. It is rich with pop culture references and kept me on edge at times. What I particularly enjoyed was the coming-of-age theme and the exploration of each character's individual struggles. The story revolves around a group of queer, witchy teenagers who reunite their secret coven to uncover the truth behind the murder of their leader and protagonist Nesbit's boyfriend, Bastion. Overall, it is a delightful and fast-paced young adult horror novel that beautifully encompasses themes of found family, witchcraft, and grief.

The book is a captivating portrayal of the bittersweet romance between a couple set against the backdrop of winter or autumn, intertwined with poignant recollections of challenging times. Spanning from the 1960s to the present day, the story beautifully encapsulates Nathan's journey through the highs and lows of life, including his remembrance of past loves and departed friends during the harrowing era of the AIDS epidemic. Nathan's embracing of his true self, relishing in travel while also making practical choices, is genuinely commendable. His encounter with the younger Mateo sparks intrigue, leaving Nathan contemplative about their potential connection. Seamlessly weaving together their love story with Nathan's poignant memories, the book unfolds with an eloquence that deeply resonates. As someone who has personally lived through similar experiences, the narrative struck a profound chord, evoking a sense of empathy and understanding. It is a testament to the power of love and resilience and serves as a poignant reminder of the strength found in embracing one's true self.
