Venus gave 4 stars to Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #1) by Louise Rennison
Not usually my choice of reading material, but I can say it did give me a bit of a laugh.

Finished it in a day and can say that I would have enjoyed it more back when I was 16, great job to the author for still making me laugh nonetheless, I do see though the reality of 14-year-old and being superficially narcissistic and I totally understand that because all 14-year-olds were really like that. Wish I had what Georgia had with the full face snogging with the guy she liked.

Venus gave 3 stars to Inferno: A Verse Translation by Allen Mandelbaum by Dante Alighieri, Barry Moser (Illustrator), Allen Mandelbaum (Translator) by Barry Moser
Have to admit it was quite a bit hard to read, it took me about three years to finally complete the whole book and I can say that I was both impressed and also taken aback as to how the imagery was portrayed by Dante himself.

The characters were diverse, the writing style was also diverse. The way Dante spoke about the characters such as his ancestors, his past family members that have passed away, different people in politics and people in power. It was direct.

In another time, and in another life, I would most probably read it once more.

Venus gave 3 stars to Inside Job (Silicon Billionaires #1) by Alexis Knightly
Honestly… Like every other contract based trope romance there is, still engaging, plot I migt say is pretty good considering it’s different compared to books to say like the hades x persephone coming to rise recently.

I think I prefer the changing of perspectives, it gives me more sense as to the personality of the characters.

The ending though I feel was a little quickly written. Especially the epilogue.
