Hey all! I’m finally getting back to reviewing, so here’s a quick one about two of my recent reads. At the end of 2020, I reread The Gilded Wolves, one of my favorite books of 2019, to prepare to finally read The Silvered Serpents. This happened after a year of me discovering that I prefer adult SFF to YA […]
Favorite Reads of 2020 (and yes, I am coming back from the dead to post this)
I read a ton of REALLY good books in 2020. I also read a ton in 2020 (thanks covid!) It’s been a very rough year for everyone, but I’m here now to appreciate the books that got me through it. I think one of my greatest achievements of this year was figuring out my taste […]
Red Rising Review – Biggest Disappointment of 2020?
Let’s be real here: is Red Rising the biggest disappointment of 2020 or am I? Rating: 2 out of 5 stars Summary: “Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making […]
July TBR (three readathons!)
My June reading was really good, but I didn’t successfully complete the Olympic Games Readathon (we all knew I wasn’t going to read The Stand, okay?). That being said, for some reason I decided three readathons (although primarily two) are a good idea for July. One of these readathons is one I’m hosting myself from July […]
Passenger + Wayfarer Review
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars (for both) Summary of Passenger: “In one devastating night, violin prodigy Etta Spencer loses everything she knows and loves. Thrust into an unfamiliar world by a stranger with a dangerous agenda, Etta is certain of only one thing: she has traveled not just miles but years from home. And […]
June 2020 TBR: Olympic Games Readathon!
Hey y’all! May is almost over and I have two more books I’d like to finish (yikes!) so if I can’t finish either of them, they’ll unfortunately get tacked onto my already large June TBR. Those books are Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, an #ownvoices novel about four generations of a Korean family that is so far […]
May TBR + Asian Readathon
Hey guys! As I say every time I post on here, I’m going to try to get back into blogging! Let’s see if I actually do that this time? I hope you’ve all had a good April so far given the circumstances—I know I have despite everything! And I’ve even more looking forward to May […]
10 Reasons to Read The Diviners
In lieu of writing a review for King of Crows, since it’s kind of overdue at this point, I’m going to list ten reasons why you should read the Diviners series, one of my all-time favorite series. It’s an incredibly diverse look at 1920s America, particularly New York City. We have characters from all backgrounds, including […]
Positive Recommendations!
I asked my Bookstagram followers to send me either a trope/genre they like for me to recommend them something or their own recommendations! Ultimately, the goal of this is to give some recommendations of cheery, positive books to read during this stressful time! Of course, some of these recs may not be 100% cheery, but […]
Brief Reviews of my Recent Reads
Hey! It’s been a hot second, but I’ve been adjusting to academia again. In the last few weeks, I’ve read a ton of books and instead of bombarding you with a million reviews, I thought I’d do a few quick reviews to get some content out there and catch myself up. The Poet X by Elizabeth […]
