An Awkward Human

I was reached out to by Goodreads Author, Sophia Kaankuka , who asked me to read her book and share my thoughts on it.

Therefore reading this book was an insightful experience for me, and I want to share the reason with you in this blog post.

It states that all wishes and positive and negative wants become realised if we manifest them to the universe.  How does Manifestation Work? Manifestation might now only be a term popular in people's Twitter bio, but it is an ancient practice used by many over the years to gain massive opportunities and success. The philosophy or scene behind the power of manifestation claims that we are all made up of energies. When we yearn for any event or object we project that energy into the universe to attract that in our life.  To attract the focus of our desire we only need to imagine, talk or think about it to the fullest extent. if it is th...

My first murder mystery of the year and it doesn't disappoint. The Maid tells the story of, molly the maid, working at The regency grand hotel, who is falsely arrested for a suspected murder, and how she with the help of few trust worthy people removes the blame from her head.  After familiarising with the writer, and understanding that she has worked in editing, my expectation sky rocketed. In the beginning the books felt really monotonous, but soon I grew into the writing style. The characters, especially Molly the maid, are very well written. The switch in between the characters gets better as you continue reading.  The book doesn't have unnecessary details, so it doesn't get boring at any point. My problem with most of the books is the slow pace, but The maid DOES not disappoint in the arena.  The intricate detailing, the build up, the reveal, the blind side action, everything made this very different from other books.  Not going to lie, in the beginn...
