Now I understand why HBO made this into a limited tv series. What a beautifully written and well thought out plot

When Likes Aren't Enough: A Crash Course in the Science of Happiness by Tim Bono
5.0
I won this book through a Goodreads Giveaway.
I am so glad I received this book. The author's ability to articulate research findings all while presenting tips to make oneself happier in a way that flowed so well caught my attention from the first couple of pages.
Being a psychology major, I really enjoyed this mix of research to back up statements and tips that you could use to become happier in everyday life.
I was a bit skeptical at first but am so glad I read through the entire book because I have already started to implement some of Tim Bono's tips into my everyday routines!
Would definitely recommend everyone read this, especially if you're looking to cheer yourself up or to be even happier than you already might be !

The Cactus by Sarah Haywood

*I won an advanced readers copy edition of this book from a goodreads giveaway*
This book was truly beautiful written with complex characters you can't help but love by the end of the book. I liked Haywood's writing so much that I have already transferred a few quotes from this book into my bullet journal, just so i don't forget them !
When I first started reading, I found myself rolling my eyes more often than not at the main character. But once you begin to delve into the childhood and past experiences of the character, you begin to understand how she has become the person who she is. This makes you appreciate her character that much more.
I loved the well thought out plot and feel good ending
