  • Save the Date by Morgan Matson

    It’s the weekend of your sister’s birthday and you’re excited to spend some time with your older brothers and sister one last time before heading to college. Everything is going to go according to plan, right? You couldn’t be more wrong.

  • Reading Slumps Are Tough, So Don’t Read

    After finishing A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza, I’ve been having the worst book slump ever. It might be because I’ve spent the last month and a half trying to read all the books I have for various projects this summer. Usually, I like to spread these out throughout the months to come…

  • A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza – Blog Tour

    My review of this book honestly doesn’t do it justice. I had a ton of thoughts here and I tried to boil it down to its essentials without spoiling too much. Here goes nothing.

  • My Favorite Genres of All Time

    I think I might have written a post like this in the past, but I’ve been thinking a lot about books and genres. It’s probably because I’m in the process of moving across the country and that means whittling my book piles down to the ones that I truly want to read. I rummaged through…

  • Living a Wild Bookish Life

    Happy Friday everyone! I’m making a big announcement on my Instagram page today and I thought I’d write a little blog post about what I’m trying to do.

  • The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

    I approach this novel like it was another diverse read with a distinct voice from an Asian American author. What I got was a heck of a lot more. I’ve also got a cute trailer for the book I want to share. Check it out below!

  • My Most Anticipated Reads for June 2018

    Get your pre-order game on because June has got a ton of fun reads being published. I’ve already read a couple of the books on this list, so I’ll include my reviews for them. When I think of June (and all the summer month), I just think of love and fun and a little mischief.…

  • #TamingTheTBR – My road to reading freedom

    I love blogging about books. The other day I was talking with some friends about work and the differences between working for yourself and working for a big company. If you work for a big company, you’ve got your steady income and your health insurance. Your job may be a pain in the ass every…

  • May 2018 Wrap Up

    I seriously can’t believe that May is over. Seriously! I wasn’t even prepared to write this post. So I took a look back at my month and finally ready to share my findings.
