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…

Back when I was a kid, I was obsessed with vampires. I mean, OBSESSED. It all started with an anime I picked up randomly at Blockbuster (yes, you can date me from this reference) called Vampire Princess Miyu. It was the story of a young vampire who hunts souls who have escaped from Hell and…

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 believe that it’s already the middle of September! And luckily the books I’ve been picking up have been good. Don’t you love when you’re on a reading streak and every book you pick up is amazing? I wonder how long this will last because I know I’ll come across a dud soon enough.…

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 felt like I spent the last few days of August trying to fit in as many books as I can. It didn’t work, of course, because whenever I force reading I get burnt out faster. But August was good to me and I read a lot this month. I end August with a total…

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…

Recently, my friends and I started a new book club focused on reading romance and exploring the genre. So far, we’ve read one contemporary novel and two historical novels. We wanted to really deep dive into the genre and set aside our pre-existing opinions or notions about it. I feel like we get a lot…

If you don’t follow me on Instagram, then you might not know that I’ve been struggling to keep up with the books I’ve been reading. I want to read faster, but don’t know how to approach that when it comes to reading. But after researching and watching videos, what I’ve learned is that speed reading…
