I needed a few days to think about this book before I wrote my thoughts down. As beautiful as it was, it did bring up some personal feelings I’ve had in the past. There were just a few pieces of dialogue that set me off, but you might not have the same reaction as me.…

April this year has so many good reads publishing. I’m seriously floored by all the wonderful books entering the world, so I had to share the ones I’m most excited about. The whole month has some of my most highly anticipated reads of the year. This is going to be such a good month for…

I’m so glad March is over. This last week of March felt like the entirety of January in one week. It was long. I remember when I was in school and dreaded March because there aren’t any good holidays and time off. I guess the feeling is still the same now that I’ve grown. This…

It’s the last weekend of March and it felt like the longest week of March. Spring is most definitely in the air and if you’re in the LA area, then maybe summer is in the air as well. Last weekend, I finally watched Baby Driver and absolutely loved it. If you’re a fan of movies…

Side note: I’m really loving this book club. I mean, it’s my own book club, but I love that it’s opening me up to so many amazing books. This month’s is no different. Also, read this on audio. The narrator does an amazing job with bringing this book to life. He does accents and voices.…

Last year, I found Jasmine Guillory. She’s a romance author who loves writing contemporary stories of people of color falling in love. Her first book, The Wedding Date, was absolutely adorable. Her second book, The Proposal, was cute too, but it didn’t live up to its hype for me. Her third novel, The Wedding Party,…

Recently I’ve been listening to Sunmi’s “Noir” on repeat. She’s this amazing artist coming from Kpop female group stock and now focusing her time on creating music that is both trendy and speaks to certain social issues. For “Noir,” Sunmi tackles the “self harm” we all commit for social media. While we might not be…

Let’s have an honest and real convo about Booktube. It’s been something I’ve been batting around for months. I keep getting hyped to try it and then I put the thought in the back of my mind. Then I get itchy to do it and want to do it. I’m feeling this now. However, I’m…
