Bleu's Review's: None Of This Is True?
Lisa Jewell’s None of This is True is a psychological thriller that lures you in with its unassuming opening, only to wrap you in layers of deception, manipulation, and deeply flawed humanity. It’s the kind of book that leaves you questioning everything you thought you knew, and even by the end, you’re left with a gnawing sense of doubt that lingers long after the final page. The story begins…

Bite-sized Reads
Daisy and the Chocolate Factory: A Bite Size readhttps://a.co/d/b7BrxaA One of my favorite writers recently released a series of books in a great new format. These are longer than flash fiction and shorter than novellas Paul White says. What he doesn’t say is they are tightly written with amazing character development in the two stories I’ve read so far. The first of these little gems I read…

Increible trio btw.... look at the evidence
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
That is love right there I can see it
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What if we all killed ourselves (except usopp is telling her the opposite ajahkdhsakjd)
Tumblr media
I need sanji to go insane like this more often.... after the timeskip it doesn't happen as much and I love to see him suffering
Tumblr media
This is so funny.... there is no denying to her face card
Tumblr media
"It's not like she actually wants to die" well yes she does, but no because you know she doesn't really. It is in a quantum state right now
Tumblr media
Luffy is such a menace akdhaksjkaak
Tumblr media
TELL EM!!!! THAT'S MY GIRL!!!!
Tumblr media
Look at franky worrying about robin.... do not fret luffy is coming and he will NOT lose!!!!!

Tumblr media
They botched his bbl.... 😔😔😔
Tumblr media
Luffy's face here... he was convinced she wanted to go with them but was compelled to do otherwise but no.... he thought wrong and he can't fight to her.... I've just been staring at this page for minutes like damn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nevermind.... this is something your mother would say "you want to die??? Just wash the dishes and you can do whatever you want later"
Tumblr media
"If you wanna die, or whatever...." this is so good like he knows what he is doing.... he Knows.... look at her face. After knowing how luffy and ace were as kids this just makes more sense (oda didn't think about this i'm sure but damn does it fit) also the slight manipulation.... look at all of us we're already here and look how we all miss you already... you know that post about luffy being selfish but his selfishness is jusg kindness to others... yesh
Tumblr media
Thinking about robin's cinderella lifestyle.... why did her mother leave her with that aunt and why didn't some archeologist take her in?? Because she doesn't complain about anything just like she doesn't respond when that mother accused her of hitting her child without reason... that's so fucked
Tumblr media
Alright this is funny (and also true)... I'm sorry fellow women....

THE bogeyman#there are comments saying they hate akainu and he has just appeared 😭😭 JUST FUCKING WAIT#you guys think when luffy realised robin's enemy was the world gov he also realised it was sabo's enemy too.... bc as a child he didn't kno#also pluton was made as a countermeasure for the weapon robin could reactivate... could that be the one that was used in lulusia??#bc i thought that weapon was pluton but if pluton is just blueprints.... this makes more sense... which could also mean the ancient weapons#are a countermeasure for weapons the government already has. and thats why they're hunting them down. to have no opposition#so there must be two sides of the ancient weapons bc they call pluton that but also the unnamed one that robin could activate#so is pluton a countermeasure to uranus (the one used in lulusia i think) but neptune? trios dont make sene but a trio and their opposite d#reading one piece#enies lobby

Thank you @booksparks and @laurengreenpickle for sending me #KillForLove to review for #FRC2023
Tumblr media
A lot of you do not know this but I am a Fall Ambassador for BookSparks and this is one of the books I have been sent to review and I cannot wait to share the other books I will be getting this fall with all of you!
Anyway, I was planning on starting Kill For Love Friday night but I got horribly sick and I was going to try to read it yesterday and ended up sleeping most of the day. So I did start this late last night but only got two chapters in before I fell asleep (not because of the book but because of whatever I am sick with).
I will be posting a full review for Kill For Love when I finish it but so far with the very little amount I have read, I can see myself liking this book and it was reminding me of #FashionVictim by Amina Akhtar (the hashtag is included in the title) with how the FMC is a villain and has disturbing thoughts or will do anything to get others out of their way. I will update everyone if I feel like I have the same vibes throughout this book.
I think I should be able to read Kill For Love super quick because it is only 244 pages. I will post the synopsis in the comments for anyone who wants to know more about this book.
Also, I want to apologize if some of my caption makes no sense and it is probably due to me being really fatigued still and my head hurting.
Anywho, I hope you all enjoy your Sunday and have a great upcoming week!

They need to put “thrillers” for people who hate suspense in a separate category. They need to put a disclaimer after the summary thats like: “Although this premise may sound a little too exciting, fear not, gentle readers! This author will never let you wonder about the protagonist’s thought process for a single second. No part of the plot will occur off-page, and for those Sneaky Susans who like to use their little brains to figure out the mystery before the characters do— we’ve given you more than you need to figure it out. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy hundreds and hundreds of pages of meandering dully around a murder.”

Why Fantasy Readers Should Dive into Historical Fiction: 5 Must-Read Novels

You revel in the magical realms, mythical creatures, and epic battles that define the world of fantasy literature.

As a kid, I was an avid reader, and French books were my only exposure. When i gained some freedom of choice and i wanted more mature books, thrillers were the way to go, and this author was the first thriller writer i got into. I remember standing in front of the aisle, not knowing what to pick, closing my eyes and blindly pointing with my finger at "L'âme Du Mal" by Maxime Chattam. And what a hell of a ride that book was for the early teen that i had been.
I would honestly owe my love for reading to Maxime Chattam. I knew what binge-reading felt like after l'Ame Du Mal made me get almost all his thriller books. I would bring them with me to school and read them sneakily underneath the textbooks in class. No worries, i was still a straight-A student, so i didn't really get into trouble for it.
As i grew, i extended my reading horizon to other genres, still in French, but Chattam kept being a staple. Until i went to college where i switched to English books, and with time, Chattam and all other French literature were long forgotten for more than a decade.
But, as i was decluttering my bookshelves this past week, i came across my Maxime Chattam books at the very back and a wave of nostalgia came over me while noticing that i forgot to read a couple. "La Patience Du Diable" was one of them but it was only the second novel of a trilogy. So, i decided to re-read the first one, "La Conjuration Primitive".
Tumblr media
The Paris police chief, Alexis, drives far into the mountains to seek the help of Mikelis, a retired detective, known for honing in on the inner psyche of killers and really understanding the hows and whys of the human violence. There are two different crimes in two different locations, both leaving no trace but a bloody sign on the victims, the same sign that a teenager paints on the subway walls before pushing a couple of people into the tracks. Is this some sort of cult? an Ideology that twisted people are starting to adopt for themselves?
Alexis and his colleagues, Ludivine and Segnon, along with Mikelis, will try to decipher what the sign means and what relations it has to the crimes. The usual thriller trope.
The book is divided into three parts. In the first one, the lens are focused on Alexis, being the coordinator and the boss, while suffering from loneliness and fear of getting consumed by the horrors he's witnessing. The last two parts are all from the point of view of Ludivine. She spends the rest of the book dealing with grief while trying to solve these murders. I didn't know until i found "La patience du diable" in my book inventory that the series are all about Ludivine, in the first place.
I got attached to Alexis the most. I think it has to do with how much better Maxime painted his part, compared to the other characters. I related to him the most, even though his trope was short-lived. Mikelis was next. Nothing much about Segnon but he was a comfort of a character, i felt i could rely on him for safety.
The book was unnecessarily stretched in some bits. Maxime sometimes used the deducted logic behind the murders as filler for pause or lack of dialogues. He reformulated the thought process and inserted it in some place that got me like: "I already knew that, why do you keep reminding me that this is the way for the criminals to express themselves and show themselves out into the world? and that they're planning to recruit more unstable people for this to happen?"
However, this doesn't hinder the power of the storytelling. There were quite a few cliffhangers and unexpected plot twists. The gore, which is a forte of Maxime Chattam, was not lacking. The action scenes were also sufficiently immersive, i could feel the last hope the characters felt in near-death situations. Also, the featuring of Josh Brolin, the iconic infamous character from "L'ame du Mal", made quite an impact.
