This is one of those books whose cover makes you think that it will be a fun little summer read full of cringe romance scenes and fluff but it’s everything but that. I read Book Lovers and Happy Place and thought that Beach Read would be similar but I was completely wrong. I heard a lot of people giving this book 5 stars and now that I’ve read it I can see why. Here is my spoiler-free review for those who want to know a little bit about this viral book before they dive into it.

There is something so good after finishing the series. I finally finished the last book in the Dreamland Billionaires Series a few days ago. If you are unfamiliar with the series, it is a trilogy following three brothers. The first book The Fine Print follows Rowan and Zahra, the second book Terms and Conditions follows Declan and Iris and the last book Final Offer follows Callahan and Alana. I already wrote reviews for the first two books and now it is time for me to share my thoughts on the last book.

Have you ever wondered why were audiobooks invented and why a lot of people reach for them over physical books?
The act of reading consisted of holding a physical book and reading each word until 1930. That is when the American Foundation for the Blinds decided to establish the first audiobook recording studio. Their goal was to make books more accessible to visually impaired individuals.

Is your bookshelf overflowing, yet the thought of starting a new book feels like a chore?
Reading is a wonderful way to escape reality, but sometimes it’s hard to find the motivation to pick up that book. We’ve all been there: You start reading and then get distracted by your phone or someone walks into the room, causing you to put down your book then a few days, then weeks and months pass and you haven’t finished a single book.
This is a book lovers nightmare and as much as I don’t want to admit it, I’ve been there. The good thing is that I found some proven ways that helped me and can help you get out of the reading slump.
1. Pick up an Old Favorite
If you’re in a reading slump, chances are that it’s because you haven’t been enjoying the books that you’ve been trying to read. But if there’s one thing I know about readers and book lovers, it’s that nothing puts us back into our happy place more than picking up an old favorite. Check out your bookshelves and reach for any of your beloved books that you just can’t put down once you start reading them.
2. Try Out a Genre You’ve Never Read Before
The next time you’re feeling stuck in a reading slump, try out a book by an author you’ve never read before. Or maybe give a genre that isn’t typically your cup of tea (historical fiction, sci-fi) a try. We often reach only for one book genre and miss out on the excitement that other genres have. If you are a contemporary romance reader, picking up a fantasy romance book might be exactly what you need to spark that joy that only reading can bring.
If none of those tips work, then…
3. Read Something Shorter Than You Normally Would
Reading something shorter than you normally would is a great way to get out of a reading slump. If you’re used to reading fantasy novels, try picking up a graphic novel or an illustrated book instead. Or vice versa: if you usually read fiction, try non-fiction for a change! Sometimes seeing a book that has over 400 pages can be too overwhelming. Picking up a book of poetry or essays that you can binge-read in a few hours might be the best way for you to quickly get out of the reading slump.
4. Watch Booktube
Watching what others are reading can make you want to get back into reading as well. Booktube and booktok have become huge in the last few years. Following those who like similar genres to you can not only help you pick a book again but also make it easier for you to find books that you will enjoy reading.
5. Join Book Club
Surrounding yourself with fellow bookworms can help you find joy in reading again. Having a monthly challenge where you read the same book and then discuss it will create a sense of accountability and make you want to finish the book faster. There are a lot of book clubs you can join online or even better start one with your friends.
6. Find a Reading Nook
Having a spot where you read can help you get back into the reading state of mind. This is important because it will help you get into a rhythm, which will make it easier for you to focus on the book and not on what else might be going on in your life at the moment. Plus, it’s just nice to have some time where you can sit back and relax! If possible, start building a quiet reading space in your home — it could be as simple as a chair next to a window or a cozy spot under a bookshelf that holds books you love
7. 10 Minutes or 10 Pages
Picking a book to read only for 10 minutes or 10 pages is a good way to trick yourself into starting reading again. Most likely you will keep on reading for longer but even if you don’t at least you started. Making this a daily habit can help you get through your TBR faster.
Reading is an incredible activity, but it’s also one that requires a lot of time and energy. If you’re feeling like you don’t have enough of either right now, don’t despair! There are plenty of ways to get back into the swing of things — and even if your reading slump lasts for weeks or months at a time implementing at least one of these tips can help you get out of the reading rut faster.

Paulo Coelho is a Brazilian author whose books have been loved by millions of people all around the world. He is most known for The Alchemist. A book that's been around since 1988. Can you believe that I still haven't read it? Yeah, neither can I. Well, last month I decided to get myself a copy of Warrior of the Light. I ordered it from Bookdepository and I read it in one day. While some find this book overrated and unclear, I found it quite mind provoking and poetic. I love books from which you can learn valuable things and this book was full of simple yet meaningful short notes.

And another
month is over. If you read my February Resolution post then you know that my
goal was to practice mindfulness. I really tried to focus on little things. I didn’t
actually pay much attention to material things. February was one of the busiest
months for me and it passed so fast. I'm quite glad it did as now the Spring is closer and closer.

I wanted to read another John Green book since I first read and watched The Fault in Our Stars. I was just captured by his writing style and characters. Looking For Alaska was on the top of my list last of books I want to buy. Thankfully I find it on the Book Fair in November and immediately bought it.

When I first heard about this book I was very
intrigued because I haven’t read a lot of books like this one. The plot and
characters were so interesting to me. I immediately put it on my TBR list. I
only got it few weeks ago and totally by surprise. My sister bought it for me
and I was thrilled. It’s in the hard paperback and the cover is so beautiful.

This book is an absolute classic. I'm sure that you heard of it or even read it. I always wanted to read it but never got time to do it. This Summer I decided it was time. I went to the library and I picked it up. At the first sight I was thrilled by its cover. I know we shouldn't judge book by its cover but this one is absolutely beautiful. Before this book I read Anna Karenina and I must say I enjoyed Jane Eyre more. Although it is 600 pages long book I really loved every single word.
