Welcome to Hive Book Club Highlight #59
How Do We Choose The Highlighted Posts?
All of you must be wondering how we picked the authors who get into the highlight. As some of the good curation projects out there, our highlighted authors are also handpicked to ensure that we diversify the content and the recommendations in the highlight. We want this highlight to be a place where people get inspiration, a place to learn something new, and even finding a recommendation.
Hence, throughout the week, the moderators will check the community and manually hand pick the posts. Some factors includes : the post subject, post quality, engagement, personal voice, and general effort.
| Author | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
 @kiantheconqueror | It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover – A Book Review (Is it worth the hype?) | "The book started with Lily Bloom meeting Ryle Kincaid at a rooftop building in Boston right after she gave an epically disastrous eulogy for his father. Despite exchanging different naked truths, they both decided to just part ways as they don’t have a mutual understanding when it comes to relationships. Ryle only wants one-night stands while Lily wants to have a serious relationship. After six months, the two met again because apparently, Lily’s new hired worker in her flower shop is Ryle’s sister. What a coincidence, right? There, they took risks and started a relationship together. Life is fantastic, almost too good until one incident shatters this perfect life. When confronted with terrible situations, Lily needs to make a decision that will be painful but is the right thing to do." |
 @nikv | Pandemic dystopias: Afterland by Lauren Beukes | "he plot of Afterland revolves around a woman and her son that are interned in an isolation centre in the USA to be studied after he's found to be immune to the virus that killed most other men and boys. The woman is desperate to get back to South Africa and then her sister turns up at the centre with a plan to get them all out. What she doesn't know is that her sister has a plan to sell her son to some human trafficking female gangsters. She escapes from the internment centre with her son, who is dressed as a girl, after she beats her sister unconscious with a tyre iron after her sister drugs them and attempts to steal her son." |
 @harlowjourney | Book Review and Recommendation: "Magic for Liars" by Sarah Gailey (Tor Books, 2019) | "A teacher is found dead at magic school. Ivy Gamble, a non-magical private investigator, who is the twin sister of one of the teachers at the school, is brought in to investigate after the death is ruled accidental by authorities. Given the nature of the death, the school administration simply cannot believe that it was an accident. “Magic for Liars” combines the fantasy and psychological thriller genres. However, it goes beyond simply defying genres..." |
 @rakel1406 | How to Win Friends / Dale Carnegie / Review / [Eng/Esp] | "This beautiful book opens doors in all areas of your life, if you apply it to everything. It is a beautiful and educational way to change your mind, renew your ideas, clarify your doubts about yourself, about how you approach others and how you want them to see you and treat you." |
