Far from the Madding Crowd was more than a love story for me. It is about love, pride and how our choices. I enjoyed the life book and Bathsheba. Also seeing how her relationships changed over time.
I loved the countryside setting and the quiet atmosphere of the book. The story moves slowly but it fits the mood I believe. As some characters frustrated me this also made them feel more real.
Compared to Pride and Prejudice, which I enjoyed more, Hardy's novel felt more serious. It lacks Austen's lively conversations, but both books are those days' NETFLIX dramas.
Not every chapter worked for me, but the book left me a calm and beautiful sense of life. The life I really admire to have.
Contains slight spoilers!
Okay first things first — I am completely obsessed with this series. Diana, Samkiel, Imogen… honestly, I love every single character in this series, the good ones and the bad ones.
But HOW did you make me fall for Kaden like this?? I literally went from "meh, not a fan" to "wait, Diana and Kaden could totally be endgame??" ,and this is coming from someone whose favorite book husband is Samkiel!! Why would you do this to me??
And what you did to Reggie?? I was an absolute mess, ugly crying the whole time! We needed him, he was our dad figure why did you take him away from us, Amber, WHY??
Okay but real talk, the pacing was perfect, and this book had me glued to the pages the entire time. I honestly don't know how you do it, queen, but you just get it. Keep doing what you're doing — even if you destroy my emotions every single time, I still love you for it.
Also the 5th book needs to come out NOW because I genuinely cannot wait anymore!!

A Critical Review of Humankind
Rutger Bregman’s book Humankind is one of the books that questions negative ideas about human nature and makes readers think. For many years, many people believed that humans are naturally selfish, bad, and only care about themselves. However, Bregman does not agree with this idea. According to him, human nature is not as dark as people think. Instead, people are more willing to help each other, understand others’ feelings, and do good things. In the book, the author supports these ideas with many examples from wars, psychology experiments, history, and biology. One of the best parts of the book is that it gives hope about humanity. Still, when I finished the book, I did not only feel admiration. On one side, I was happy to read it because it made me think differently. On the other side, some of the author’s ideas felt too optimistic to me. Because of this, the book was both interesting and questionable for me.
One of the strongest parts of the book is that it makes people question ideas about human nature that many accept without thinking. Today, we often see violence, murder, wars, and fights on television, social media, and in the news. After some time, people start to believe that the world is full of bad people. At this point, Bregman asks an important question: If humans were really bad by nature, how could societies survive for so many years? A big part of human history was shaped by helping each other, working together, and surviving together. From this side, the writer’s ideas are important and meaningful.
His ideas against the belief that humans are naturally wild are especially interesting. Today, when someone behaves badly, people sometimes say, “Did you grow up in a cave?” However, Bregman says that hunter-gatherer societies were not as violent as many
"Her writing has a way of burrowing under your skin, making your heart race with every turn of the page. Her imagination was a force to be reckoned with. It was one of those rare talents that could reach out from the page and take hold of you. I suppose that’s why her stories have stayed with me all this time. They remind me that the most fantastic adventures often begin in the corners of our minds, where fear and dreams collide."
Icons kitap serisi, Doctor ve yol arkadaşlarının tarihteki önemli isimlerle maceralarını içeren novellalardan oluşuyor. Bu kitaplar içinde en merak ettiğim de Shirley Jackson and th Chaos Box olmuştu.
Kitapta Ruby'nin Doctor'a kendisinin ne görmek istediğini sormak istemesi ile başlayan ve Doctor'un en sevdiği yazarlardan biri olduğunu söylediği Shirley Jackson ile tanışmak istediğini söyledikten sonra Jackson'ın en meşhur öykülerinden biri olan 'The Lottery'nin benzeri bir macerada bukuyoruz kendimizi.
Shirley Jackson çok da hakim olduğum bir yazar olmasa da bu kitaba konu olan The Lottery üniversitede Short Story dersinde okuduğumuz öykülerden biri olduğu için güzel bir denk geliş oldu.
Genel anlamda Doctor ve Ruby'nin dinamiğini çok iyi yakalamış bir kitap olsa da iki karakter için de bir noktadan sonra derinliğini kısmen kaybetmiş. Ancak genel anlamda hem edebiyat dünyasından bir figürü Doctor ile okumak, hem de Lottery gibi ilginç bir öykünün Doctor Who evreni dinamikleri üstünden incelenmesini görmek çok keyifliydi.
Bu senenin ilk kalbimi kıran beni çok üzen ve ağlatan kitabı oldu tebrik ediyorum yazari .Büyük bir bunalimda olan Cambry düzenli gittiği bir barda Dec adında bir yabancı ile karşılaşır ve bu karşılaşmalar aralarında bir kıvılcım ile devam eder ama kendisine hiç birseyi layık görmeyen Cambry hayatına dümdüz devam eder .Duygular,sevgi,ihtiyaçlar,yemek bile yemez sadece akşamları içer ve sürekli calisir .Ama onun icini gören Dec yavaş yavaş içine sızar ve hayata döndürür.
Bir anne olarak bu kitap beni çok çok üzdü.Kitap okurken kendimi yerine koyma huyumu sevmiyorum.O kadar acı çekmeye kocasının hainliğine üst üste yediği darbelere karşı koyan Cambry sen harika idin ama seni gören sessiz çığlıklarını duyan Dec efendi de adam çıktı:))) Ama her kitap mükemmel olmak zorunda değil bunda da Dec efendinin 2 büyük suçu vardı ama biz kadınlar neden böyleyiz hemen affediyoruz....Ben affedemedim mesela Dec efendiyi kızımızın da akşam çekip gidip sabah hemen affetmesini kabul edemedim biraz kendinize saygınız olsun lütfen:)))KITABI MUTLAKA OKUYUN EFENDİMM.
i had a good time while reading it. it feels like its too long but when come to think of it, the things that happen needed to be written. but i started to say "ok then it's ending ig? how about those pages?" and boom another thing that needs to be explained because it is mentioned before. and those things eventually comes to an end but then again, another adventure to go into. on and on.
i giggled a lot. i even laughed a few times. i love the side characters. but i don't know if i will read the second book though. it's a bit tiring to read, i needed breaks in every adventure they get into.
still, i really enjoyed reading this book. a 7 for me
