Are you a Bibliobibuli?
Bibliobibuli – Recently I learned a new word ” Bibliobibuli ” which is related to booklovers. The word refers to people who read books a lot. It is a Greek-Latin word and came into existence in 1957 by H.L Mancken. The word is made up of two words biblio ( Greek ) and Biblious (latin). Biblio means books and biblios refers to bibere which means drink. This word must be an expert creation as I believe books and drink are the best combination ever. I read my book mostly with a cup of coffee or green tea. I am currently reading Thirteen Reasons Why book by Jay Asher and here is the detailed book review.
Hope you like the review and buy it because it is one of the most creatively written book I read in the last few days. I am inspired eith the concept in which the book is written. It is something very different from usual books.
After reading the book I also suggest you to watch the series of Thirteen Reasons Why over netflix.

Thirteen Reasons Why
This book Thirteen Reasons Why is an international bestseller and my brother gifted me. I am impressed with his choice of selecting the book for me. I loved reading it as well as it is fabulous concept wise. I asked my brother, how do you got the idea to pick up this book ? To which he replied, I read the reviews and check the ratings. They impress me a lot. From that day I too started to read readers reviews before buying a book.
You need guts to read this book. I will say don’t read this book if you are dipressed over something. It will make you cry at times. It is a story of a teenage girl who mentions 13 reasons why she committed suicide and clearly tells that she won’thave attempted this all if there was anyone with whom she could share all her burdens of heart.
I will request parents to be open to their kids and kids to avoid overthinking. Life is beautiful, look at a flower it is blooming to cheer our garden everyday. Same is with us we are flowers of our home, without us a home is like a rose plant which have only greens.
My views on storyline ( Thirteen Reasons Why ) –
Many times we see teenagers are doing such acts because of load of studies or love and relationships issues which according to me is not fair at all. How can we all be a fool and do non sense acts ? Is being in a relationship so much important at just a teenage? Then in my views it is just fancy headache, I am happy to enjoy my life as much freely as much as I can. So being single should be a choice and there is nothing to be ashamed of it about.
So teenagers if you get such a things in mind, don’t end your life speak up.
Speak whaever comes to your heart and mind with the closest person or even a stranger and come back to life with a bang.
Life is too short to be wasted for depression love and studies. No one else can love us as much as our parents and we ourselves can. If you are ready to hurt yourself then how can you expect love from someone else? How can you expect that others will love a self centered girl who don’t have the courage to face life. Respect your body and soul.
I will say I like the book as a reader point of view but I am least impressed with the storyline and thr message it is conveying to others. Will you be happy to end your life on a fancy note and getting famous after death ? No na so I will say use your brain don’t create 13 reasons why of a suicide instead create 13 reasons why I am successful or happy

share your review on #ThirteenReasonsWhy too
Nice review of the book. Yes it right, life is beautiful and it is just a foolishness to end it abruptly taking a decision in heist. You have articulated the review in a very positive way. Liked reading it. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like it.
Share the review if you read the book too
Look like an interesting book .
Yaya read the book and share how do you like it
Good review. I hope to read the book soon. Many friends have suggested that as a read too. 🙂
Yes reading is always good option
Then the shows for a booklover
Your views on the theme of the book are very balanced and practical. I too feel that a situation to commit suicide will never arrive if the person in question has little courage and a shoulder to speak to and share her concerns. Thanks for flagging this book.
Yes, speaking always helps to reduce stress better than any other method and if she described her state of mind to anyone else she would have got a treatment where she would have started loving herself
Honest and to the point DIxu. Liked the review.
Thank you for stopping by.
Do read the book too
Thanks for the post. The book is added to my To-Read list. I really hope people gather some courage and do not resort to ending their life as the ultimate solution.
Yes
Read it so that you can stop others from such stupid acts
This one sounds like a sad book. I wish that teen had someone to talk to who would have pulled her out of her resolve. I don’t think I’m going to pick this one up.
Very informal language. It is rare to see.
Seems to be an interesting read especially for the parents of teens. Teenagers sometimes have a different mindset and the need is to understand that if you want them to pick up the correct path of life…
This seems like a great book for both parents and children. It’s important that teenagers realize there is more to life than one reckless decision and for parents to stop and listen once in a while.
Yes, this is the reason Why I read the book so atleast I can act mature in such situations
The tv series met with a lot of criticism, people said that it glorifies suicide and will pollute minds of teenagers. Can’t comment as I have neither read the book nor watched the movie but teenage suicide is complex. I don’t think it’s as simple as explaining them the worth of life as they are at a vulnerable stage. But having someone to talk does make a big difference
Talking reduces the burden from heart
Nice review , yes book should be 13 reasons why I share my heart with my loved ones and live a happy life
Indeed 13 reasons of Happiness
Important topic especially in today’s day and age. havent read it yet myself 🙂
Read it, so that yiu can be prepared with the situation in saving someone next time
Love the beginning!
Hey! I loved what you wrote about the book. Especially this – Life is too short to be wasted for depression love and studies. This is so true. School for me was all about studies and marks. I had zero life. Now when I look back I think I’d do so many things differently. So now, I ensure I’m doing all those. 🙂

nice review. i agree, find 13 reasons why of success and happiness 🙂
Frankly, I started watching this series on netflix and gave up half way (not even half I guess). But this book, I see , is getting rave reviews. Should give it a try.
Thanks for the new words. And yes, I am happy to read the analysis by you. My kind of reviews – not generic, very specific. Great blog! 🙂
