Book Review: The Paris Library

Book: The Paris Library
Author: Janet Skeslien Charles
Rating: 9/10

This is one of the books that I finished quickly – just in a week, maybe because I love the story so much.

This is my first time reading about the effects of books during World War II and learning that there are more groups and individuals who are doing their job to at least make that trying time a little better.

I like the story of a light-colored black woman pretending to be white to be able to survive. The fun part is that she must hide her identity from one …

Book Review: The Midnight Library

Midnight Library | Book Review | Cebu

In my first few pages, I have ranted how annoying the lead character is and I’m afraid that I might DNF this book. But one thing I learn from reading the Ilustrado book by Miguel Syjuco is not to judge a book by the 1st hundred pages, so I continued and finish the whole book and I am glad I did.

For an investigative story fan, I don’t know why this is my first time to read a book by Agatha Christie. I heard so many good things about her book and even enjoyed watching the 2 movie version of the Murder of the Orient Express.

Ilustrado Book review

Mystery, historical, and critical are genres I incorporate in this book. It has politics, gossips, rich problems, heartaches, passion, and doing what you like best. It’s one of those books that gets better the more pages you read.

Author: Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Ratings: 9/10

The books are a compilation of heartwarming stories. These are tales from the customers of Cafe Funiculi Funicula, a 100-year-old café that would let its customers travel to the past, or is it just to the past? The gist, they should come back before their coffee gets cold.

  1. I love the idea of a trip of 2 of the most powerful religious leader on earth, the Pope and the Dalai Lama. The idea that Jesus and Buddha in their time are with their people preaching and not in the comforts of huge cathedrals or temples.
  2. I agree with most of the times when the Pope and
