Top 10 Things Needed to Live a Good Life

  Life is beautiful, only sometimes we find it hard to believe so, especially when we go through a lot of rough days. Finding happiness isn’t as hard as it seems.

Top 10 Reasons Why The Bridgerton Book Series was better than the show

Books are always better. Everyone will tell you that but your counter point is likely to be that you like visual mediums or that watching a movie or a TV show is simply faster. A book can take a long time to finish after all.  Yes, it can be tempting to watch a movie adaptation rather than read a book, but guess what?  If you truly want to enjoy a story and actually get to know your characters, then read the book. Most times, the best parts of the book are cut out for a variety of reasons, most of them being budget constraints.  To be honest, I had not heard of Julia Quinn’s book series until the show came out on Netflix. I watched the first season only because it was hyped. In my opinion, it was forgettable. I wasn’t wowed by it and didn’t understand the fuss over this historical romance.  Then news came out on the second seasons and every one was going on about how this would be the best season of all since it was based on the best book in the series: T...
