An Ending That Is Sad And Beautiful: My Review of Another Dimension of Us

Another Dimension of Us by Mike Albo   Title: Another Dimension of Us
Author: Mike Albo

Rating: 5 stars!!

Review: Thank you Goodreads for the book to review.

I'm literally in tears because of how the book ended.

I took my time reading this because I was not emotionally ready for a romance like this book.

When Rene was struck by lightning, things changed. Tommy wanted nothing but to find Rene in astral planes. There he met Pris who was doing the same but for her friend.

This book is perfect choice for those who want something in the LGBTQ genre as well as fantasy and more.

The book is beautiful written. The chapters are easily to understand. The characters grew a lot in the book.

I highly recommend it!

Full of Mysteries, Curses, And More: A Review of Garden of the Cursed

 Garden of the Cursed by Katy Rose Pool   Title: Garden of the Cursed
Author: Katy Rose Pool

Please note: I received this book for free from Bookishfirst.

Review: When I read this book, I was surprised.

Marlow Briggs became a cursebreaker because she thought she could find her missing mother. When a crush of her past came to her for help, she is drawn into a world of mystery and secrets and curses.

All part of being a cursebreaker, according to Marlow. Little did she know, she was in for a dangerous ride.

I really enjoyed the story and it was fast paced. It was full of shocking parts and surprising parts and so much more.

I felt like the author knew what she doing when she wrote this book.

I am glad that I got to feel what Marlow was going through. All the way to end when she discovered a secret that was kept for far too long.

Who knows what secrets that her mother had kept and the five families in Evergarden.

A boy who likes to go on parties. A girl who is working to break curses while trying to find out what had happened to her mother at the same time.

I highly recommend this book.

Am I ready to talk about it?

Yes.

Hello. I know it's been a while since I posted here on my blog. I am using it as both personal and professional and I felt like it's time to talk about things.

Let's begin with this: We all make mistakes whether we like it or not.

Now let's get on with the story about what's going on.

As you all know, I am 37 years old. I had taken a break from blogging, writing and more. Which was merely stupid of me to do so in the beginning as I had a goal to work on a few things.

What happened you were wondering? I was dating somebody who was 15 years younger than me and we both rushed into said relationship.

He lied. He kept things from me. And in fact, I knew. He started to realized that maybe I wasn't his type. And I knew. I just couldn't tell him.

We are both at fault so there's no blaming here. I forgive him. And that let me realized that I needed to do this in order to heal myself.

I understand why he had to block me. Because we did kind of shared a bit too much to each other. That part, I will keep to myself because I felt like he should be the one to explain that part out.

And although it's only yesterday since the break up, I should be fine. I am not like I used to be. I can heal faster because I experienced two major surgeries in my life. One was a quick recover while the other I learn to accept death.

Why did I learn to accept death? Because life is so short now that I am closer to 40 years old.

I learn that life can be crazy. I learn that love can hurt. I learn that I just need to accept things better.

Just know, I did love and care for this person. But I understand why we broke up. After all, we both agree it was for the best.

I hope we both learn from our mistakes.

But... I am still attracted to people younger than me. Sorry.

Well, I will move on now. I am no longer hurting as bad I was before. I forgave him. I have to move on. Because I have a life of books and games and movies and more to catch up with.

So... yes, I am ready to talk about it.

See you all another time... and hopefully, this time, I can be better.

And fix the problems that led to this decision.
