By
Hi Readers!!!! Welcome to Quills and Pages. This is Quills and today I am back with amazing twisty and mind blowing book When We Were Sane by A.H. King .

BLURB Kasper My death was short lived and it was her that brought me back to life. Hope can do many things to a man in war, which is why I never had any. That was until fate stepped in and put her life in my hands. Maybe love is crazy. Or maybe it's the only thing left keeping me sane. Ada My memories of the past haunt me day and night. But the ghosts aren't the only ones that watch me closely. I may be able to escape from old memories, but I can't escape him. And maybe for the first time, I don't want to.

Books That Will Change How You See the World | Must-Reads for International Literacy Day

By
Hi there Readers!!! As the sun rises on September 8th, we celebrate something truly powerful— International Literacy Day .  This day reminds us of the beauty and importance of literacy, the simple yet profound ability to read and write that connects us, empowers us, and transforms our lives. 📚✨  For me words are always more than ink on a page; they hold the power to shape worlds, inspire minds, and spark change. Today, I am honoring the gift of literacy and the doors it opens to every person, young and old, in every corner of the world.  Why Literacy Matters? In a world where knowledge is everything, literacy is the foundation. It’s the key to education, self-expression, and personal freedom. 🌍✨ Being able to read gives us access to information, opportunities, and the ability to write our own stories—both literally and figuratively. Yet, millions of people around the world still don’t have access to basic education. International Literacy Day shines a light on this and ...

Tiktok made me read it | My Fault | Culpa Mia (Culpable 1)

By Quills and Pages
This line is fire... How did I fall? Easy. He turned my world upside down My Fault is the book I found out from TikTok. I watched the movie first and then I thought why not give it a read. This review aims to provide insight into the book and the movie adaptation. I will analyze the plot, characters, and writing style, and give an overall rating. It will assist you in deciding whether to indulge in the book the movie or both. "My Fault" written by Mercedes Ron is a captivating book that tells the story of a love-hate relationship between Noah and Nick. This book has been adapted into a movie that has caught the attention of many romance enthusiasts.  I was surprised to find out that the book is very well written as many books that go viral on TikTok are not really well written. there were no plot holes, no dragging, simple and steady storyline.  The story centers around Noah and Nick who are step-siblings and both are grappling with personal demons. Noah is dealing ...

A Critical Lens on 'Hunting Adeline' by H.D. Carlton: Exploring the Disturbing Themes | A Review

By Quills and Pages
I kept delaying writing the review because I had to remember it and didn't want to do that. This 2nd book of Cat and Mouse duet is the story of a human trafficking survivor. This book is a huge  TRIGGER WARNING . Kindly proceed with caution. I even got traumatized after reading it. So to explain the synopsis; Adeline (the main character) got kidnapped at the end of the first book and sold to some people who groomed her for some very rich and powerful clients.  Almost half of the book is based on Adeline surviving the worst situations possible for a woman. Adeline had one advantage someone was fervently searching for her, and eventually, Zade managed to rescue her after four agonizing months. The scene when Zade finds her and she just could not believe it. She crumbled to her knees thinking she was hallucinating. After Zade brings her home she struggles so hard to process her trauma. She learns to fight to take control of her life. She gets close to her mother. She hates h...

Plated Prisoner Series | A series review (Spoiler Alert!!!)

By Quills and Pages
  Have you ever stumbled upon a series that not only captures your imagination but also challenges the norms of classic narratives? Recently, I had the privilege of delving into the spellbinding world of the Plated Prisoner series, written by Raven Kennedy. If you haven't yet experienced this literary masterpiece, be prepared for a rollercoaster ride of intrigue, deception, and personal growth. Embark with me on a journey through the twists and turns of these books, where the conventional story of King Midas and his golden touch takes an unexpected and captivating turn. A Twist on a Classic Tale The foundation of the Plated Prisoner series rests upon the iconic figure of King Midas and his fabled golden touch. However, Kennedy masterfully introduces a twist; King Midas, rather than possessing the golden touch, is revealed to be a fraud, capitalizing on the real power held by this beautiful character Auren. Auren, with her genuine golden touch, becomes the linchpin of the plot as ...

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

By Quills and Pages
Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.
