 The Woman in Me  By Britney Spears  Published Year : 2023 October  Page Count: 161 pages Medium Used : Kindle PW Genre : Contemporary, Memoir, Mental Illness, Conservatorship, 2023-read.  Rating : 5/5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Wow. What a book! Britney Spears has very deftly channeled her inner emotional voice into words and touched the very core of my soul with her narrative. Her life has been - for a lack of better word - wasted and misappropriated.  She has remained a naive, gullible and vulnerable child all through - but also a bit over the top paranoid and parochial. She just looked at things that were happening to her from her point of view and not how her actions might have warranted those measures to be taken. She just lacked the perspective. She was a perfect abuse material - wanting to please everyone, wanting to be perfect all the time, trying to shut out the overwhelming negative media coverage by hiding in her mansion etc. She was very passive and didn't raise her voice or being to r

 The Secret Scripture  By Sébastien Barry Year Published: 2008 Page count : 312  Medium used : Paperback  Genre : Suspense, Fiction, Mental Health, WW2. Rating : 3.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐🖖 I am confounded by this book. What the hell is going on. What the heck is the truth and what ain't?

Roseanne is married to a man whom she deeply loves, Tom McNealty, who later annuls their marriage so that he could marry again on the pretext that she is a "nymphomaniac". She has no support, she has no proof. She has literally

 Throne of Glass  By Sarah J Mass  Published year : 2012  Page count : 406  Medium used : Paperback  Genre : Fantasy, Fiction, Science Fiction, Multiverse, Magic, Mystery,Thriller. Rating : 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A wonderful and eye opening read. Makes us look around, question and ponder if what meets the eye is what truly is! If what we see and perceive is not an illusion behind which there exists, a scary reality waiting to pounce upon and take over! What if there are portals to other worlds or universes that can be controlled and manipulated by entities - not entirely good or bad - which can summon dangerous beings into ours and we need a shield of protection against defeat. Very thoughtful and ingenious work by Miss Sarah J Maas. Highly recommend to all scifi lovers and magic lovers out there!  Celaena Sardothien is the best assassin in all the empire of Eurilea.
