Welcome to this week’s Sunday Book Confessions, where I spill the tea on my current reads, bookish highs and lows, and whatever literary thoughts I can’t keep to myself. Whether I’m swooning over a new favorite, battling a reading slump, or admitting to yet another book haul I didn’t need, this is my cozy corner for all things unfiltered and bookish. Grab a warm drink, settle in, and let’s confess!

Sunday Confessions #307
★★★☆☆
Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne is a classic adventure filled with imagination and scientific curiosity, but its pacing and dated style may not resonate with every modern reader. The concept is undeniably creative, and Verne’s enthusiasm for exploration is infectious, yet the long-winded descriptions and lack of character depth can make the story feel slow and dry at times. While it’s easy to appreciate the novel’s influence on the sci-fi genre, the execution doesn’t always match its ambitious premise. A solid three-star read that’s more enjoyable for its historical significance than its narrative momentum.
