Review of Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. AI-Generated.
Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights is a self-searching book, which is quite different from the traditional celebrity’s life story. Unknown, it was officially released in October 2020 and focuses on the actor’s life, and the reflections on how to appreciate life with its highs and lows and how to look for the so-called ‘greenlights’. While Greenlights can be described as a memoir, it is much more – it is a reflection on how one can live and celebrate life’s triumphs and losses fully, on the idea of being true to oneself.

Fall Into You
So I am someone who has never really been into audiobooks, I have ADHD and if I am not actively reading words my mind starts to wander and I’ve now missed 3 chapters of the story. But I have recently started to listen to books on my commutes to work. The other side of the book world that I am missing is romance novels. Especially recent ones. I really don’t like books with a lot of smut and if it has some “spice” it needs to serve the story. Also if a book is overtaken with sexy scenes I find my brain tuning out. I have always valued narrative over unnecessary smut scenes. For all these reasons and more the romance genre has simply never appealed to me. However I decided to give it a shot with my first ever audiobook because if I zoned out I knew I wouldn’t have missed anything, and I would have no problem turning off when I got to work. So let’s review my first ever romance novel, Fall Into You.

There has been an enormous discussion around the notion of financial freedom in the last decade, including the FIRE movement.

The book was first published in 1992 and this edition was updated in 2018 with present-day financial structures in mind. The essence of the book, however, remains the same: it’s a life-changing guide to reprogramming the way we approach money, consumption and happiness.

Review of Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty. AI-Generated.
Now Liane Moriarty is known for domestic dramas and in the majority of her novels there is always a twist. If there is anything that stands out about Moriarty is LM’s ability to capture the secrets, enmities and loves that underpin the otherwise mundane lives of her characters… LM’s books appeal to readers who would love to read between the lines and into the hearts of men. Thus, in Here One Moment, Moriarty creates yet another engrossing read, which is filled with suspense, emotion and a handful of twists, when the external picture of seemingly ideal lives turns out to be rather grim and becomes exposed to other people’s view.

Review of Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis. AI-Generated.
Introduction: The Halloween Gala; A Walk-in into the World of the Gothic and the Macabre The author of the debut narrative Dreadful, Caitlin Rozakis plunges her readers into the hypnotizing narrative, which is quite appropriately filled with horror, gothic, thriller, and suspense notes. This grim and ominous context of this novel overrides the traditional conventions of the genre and brings together an introspective journey of the protagonist and an unlaying, gradual construction of a mystery. From the title, Dreadful itself gives a feeling of fear, a form of fear which in this book creeps up the characters and the tale as a whole peer into the horrific and the mysterious.
