I started reading The Poppy War because a ton of my friends online were saying this was the best fantasy novel they’ve read. You know me, I have to investigate the hype of any book when it sounds like that. I’ve never read a military fantasy before. I thought I might have, but according to…

I picked up this book for my IRL book club. My friend, Ani, was so in love with this book and surprised by its ending so we’re reading it. Once I was done, the only thing I could think of was what did I just read? LOL. This is the second twisted family story I’ve…

Hey everyone! I thought I would share my first impressions on being a professional book reviewer. It’s been a month and I’ve already professionally reviewed two books. I have to say, this is now the weirdest job ever. I’ve never had a job where I sit and read books all day. Oh wait, scratch that.…

Welcome to Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! OMG, this is the month where I celebrate my heritage with some amazing books written by Asian American and Pacific Islander authors. This year, I wanted to do something a little different with my reading. I wanted to still read API authors, but I also didn’t want…

This blog post should really be called “What did Simone actually read this month?” I think my reading month was all over the place as I try to read books for work, for myself, and for the blog. It’s been a month and I can’t wait to see the light at the end of the…
