I’ve been a fan of Christina Lauren ever since I read Love and Other Words last year. However, it feels like ever since that book came out I’ve been expecting something similar from them. While I’ve loved their romantic comedies they put out every few months, I keep hoping the next one I’ll read from…

If you’re a fan of Nevernight and experiencing a giant hole after finishing Darkdawn, then you’ll need to pick this up and fill that gap with some more dark fantasy. The entire story read like you’re watching an anime. It was like Soul Eater plus Tokyo Ghoul and Assassination Classroom and any other horror/humor anime…

Dragons. Back when I was a kid, dragons were everywhere and it fatigued me. I didn’t get the obsession with dragons back then.

If you follow me on bookstagram, then you already know that I pre-judged this book as a meh story. I was so set to give it three stars and voice my strong opinions on the writing tearing Sonali Dev a new one in my review. How PREJUDICE of me because this book turned out to…

September always feels like a transition month. It’s the end of summer, but the beginning of fall. It’s the end of summer vacation and the start of the new school year. I always consider September as the beginning of a new year because of my old school days. It makes me excited and also makes…

I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Jasmine Guillory. I love her little stories, but I hate that they’re not twisty and complicated like some of my other favorite romances. Am I being a little bit too demanding when it comes to my romance books? Royal Holiday follows Maddie, the female MC in The Wedding Party,…

Over the years, I’ve encouraged many people to read more books. With my bookstagram, I’ve even brought people to pick up their reading habits again and that brings such a huge smile to my face. I love helping people rediscover books and how much fun it is to read. But there are a few people…
