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,…

I went into this one with high hopes. Time travel where women go into the past and make changes that benefit all women of the future, men who can’t stand that their privileges of owning and manipulating women want to go back and “set things straight” plus tons of representation that feels natural and not…

I’m a sucker for vampires. LOL, get my joke? No, but seriously. If it’s got vampires in it, I’ll probably read it, watch it, consume it. Vampires are literally my favorite mythical beings in literature. And there’s been this sad void of vampires for a few years now. There was that period of time when…

I can’t think of this book’s title without thinking about the song written by Simple Minds. However, the song and the book have nothing in common aside from its title. I picked up this book from Netgalley a few months back when I still had a Netgalley account and requesting books like a fiend. But…

Jay Kristoff is one of those authors I’d been curious about for a long time. My tsundoku ways collected all the books in his repertoire, but afforded me none of the time to read it. So I read Nevernight and Godsgrave a few weeks back to prepare for Darkdawn. I decided to buddy read the…

I didn’t think I would be reviewing this book, but here I am. After finishing The Night Circus last night, I had so many thoughts and questions that I just needed to put them down on paper. I think I’ll feel much better after I finish writing this. Let’s start from the beginning. The Night…

I became a late fan of Ruth Ware’s after reading The Death of Mrs. Westaway, so I picked up this one as well. Sadly, the ends didn’t make the means for me. The Turn of the Key starts off with Rowan. She’s currently imprisoned for the murder of a little girl that she was taking…

I recently received a copy of Frankly in Love to help promote the book before its release. So of course, I read it because what responsible blogger doesn’t read the book they’re promoting. Turns out, it was better than I thought it was going to be. Frank Li is looking for a girlfriend. It’s the…

Since I can’t speak to this book as well as someone who’s lived this life, I’m sharing a few reviews I’ve read on Goodreads for you. I hope this helps bring more understanding, but I encourage everyone to read this book. It made me cry and made me think and really made me want to…

A friend of mine recommend this book to me months ago. She read it for work and told me that it was definitely going to be something I would really enjoy. So, when I got the opportunity to pick up an ARC of the book, I grabbed it. After working with the publisher to give…
