The translation is so bad, to the point that I sometimes get the general meaning that the translated word is so incorrect and sometimes even has the opposite meaning!!
I read the book after I watched the series and I liked how the book and the adaptation are similar...more

The story re"All Mixed Up" by Heidi Hutchinson is a captivating exploration of second chances in love set against the backdrop of the music industry. The story revolves around André's sudden and unexplained departure from Nikki's life shortly after proposing to her. Two and a half years later, their paths intersect when André takes on a summer renovation job at the music studio where Nikki harbors her dreams of becoming a music producer.
The book's premise is rich with potential, and it skillfully combines themes of lost love and pursuing one's dreams. The character of Nikki, a budding music producer, adds depth to the narrative, making her journey towards her dreams even more relatable.
While the majority of the book is engaging and emotionally charged, it's worth noting that I was a bit dissapointed with the final quarter or third of the story, longing for more events and drama.
Heidi Hutchinson's evolving writing style is evident throughout the book, even though it may not my favorite by the author. Individual reading experiences can vary widely, and what might not fully satisfy one reader could still resonate with another. If you're a fan of second chance romances with a strong connection to the world of music production and the pursuit of dreams, "All Mixed Up" is a book that might still pique your interest....more

The diverse narrI found 'Tales from the Cosmic Boneyard' by Tim Pearsall to be a captivating collection of stories that truly ignited my imagination. The diverse narratives and the dynamic characters within each story kept me engaged throughout. Pearsall's ability to create intricate worlds and thought-provoking scenarios is commendable.
However, one aspect of the book that didn't resonate with me was the futuristic language used. While I appreciated the futuristic setting, I found that the language sometimes made it challenging for me to fully immerse myself in the stories. Nevertheless, the strength of the storytelling and the imaginative concepts more than made up for this minor drawback.
Overall, 'Tales from the Cosmic Boneyard' is a book I'd recommend to fellow science fiction enthusiasts. It's a testament to Pearsall's storytelling prowess and his ability to craft compelling narratives in a futuristic backdrop....more

It is a fast-paced and gripping science fiction story, and has a tight construction, with excellent world-building.
Readers who enjoy science fiction, like myself, will likely find "The Dark Portal" to be an enthralling and tense read. The story is gripping and builds tension as the truth about the alien entity becomes more clear, and the dynamics between characters and their possible alien possession adds to the suspense. Although I wish that some of the aspects were explored more fully.
Overall, it is a well-executed and enjoyable novella that packs a lot of story into a short amount of space. It is a great short read for fans of science fiction who are looking for a fast-paced and gripping story....more

Who shared her experience with bipolar disorder and being a wife, a mom and a caregiver to her parents.
At first the book felt like disjointed diary entries, which was confusing. But through the pages, it becomes really interesting! One thing really annoyed me is the repetition of some of the details, which could be due to the entries being blog posts!
Getting to know more about bipolar from the author's personal experiences and challenges is a great reading material, and add to that the good smooth language the book was written in, is icing on the cake.
