Welcome to this week’s Book Confessions, where I spill the tea on my latest reads, bookish obsessions, unexpected disappointments, and all the moments that made me gasp, cry, or fling a book across the room (gently, of course). Whether it's a five-star favorite I can't stop thinking about or a DNF that just didn’t click, this is where I lay it all out—no filters, just honest reader-to-reader talk. Let’s dive into the bookish chaos together!

Sunday Confessions #306
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami is a melancholic, introspective novel that captures the emotional turbulence of young adulthood with lyrical precision. The writing is beautifully atmospheric, evoking a strong sense of time and place, and the themes of love, loss, and mental health are thoughtfully explored. However, the emotional detachment of the narrator and the repetitive pacing made it difficult to fully connect with the story or its characters. While undeniably poignant in moments, it left me more reflective than emotionally moved—an intriguing but ultimately distant reading experience.
153/100 2025 Reading Challenge
As I close out this week’s Book Confessions, I’m reminded of how every reading experience—whether thrilling, frustrating, or quietly profound—adds another layer to my love of books. Some stories stayed with me long after the final page, while others left me shrugging and moving on. But that’s the joy of reading: the constant discovery, the unexpected reactions, and the ever-growing TBR pile. Until next time, may your next read surprise you in the best way.
