November seemed to go quickly, but also jam packed with news, articles, and great reads. I had a blast this November and here are some of the highlights. Thanksgiving at my in lawsI've never had Thanksgiving at anyone else's house before. I've always had it with my family with the same meal and the same [...]

How do I review Sing, Unburied, Sing?
The other night, in the silence of my apartment, I tore through the last 50 pages of Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward. I sat on my couch while waiting for my dinner to cook in the oven, getting up every so often to make sure my meatballs weren't burning. Once I finished the book, [...]
Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han
I love me some good old fashion young adult. No frills. No complications. The kinds of books that don't surprise you with turmoil or unexpected struggles. It's like reading a book about reality and sometimes in reality, there's not a lot of drama for your mama. Synopsis Lara Jean’s letter-writing days aren’t over in this [...]
Caraval by Stephanie Garber
Remember, it's only a game... Maybe it's me or the most recent weeks, but I've been watching and reading a lot about warp realities and the mind playing tricks on you. What is real? What's not real? How can you tell the difference? In a world where you can't tell what's real and what's not [...]
A Conjuring of Light by VE Schwab
If you're into video games, this book and its series definitely feels like you're playing one. I think that goes double for A Conjuring of Light in which they have to fight a mega boss; a shadowy creature that inhabits its prey and forces them to do things. What would you do with your rag-tag [...]
New Release: The Song Rising by Samantha Shannon
OMG I don't know about you, but I am a huge fan of The Bone Season series. If you're just as big a fan as I am, then you probably feel the same way I do: why does it take a million years for this author to put out a new book? Seriously, The Bone [...]
New Reads from Scribner’s
I recently got a package from Scribner's Books with a couple of great reads publishing right now. Both of these books have already published this March and I'm super excited to get into them. Sadly, I suffer with "too many books in my TBR" syndrome. However, if you have a chance, definitely pick them up [...]
February 2017 Bookish Wrap Up
Better now than never, that's what I say! February seemed like such a short month! Then again, it technically is a short month and goes under the radar a lot. However, it is Black History Month and I dedicated it to reading all PoC writers. After looking over all the books I've read, I'm surprised [...]
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
This is probably the first story I've read where I don't understand the Asians in the story. It's because they're super rich and I'm not super rich. It's because it takes place in Singapore and honestly, I don't know much about Singapore outside of their food. However, what I did understand is that this story [...]
Love, Life, and the Teen Dream
Ah...young love. Recently, a bookish friend asked me for some book suggestions. She was looking for teen romance novels for girls who are single and want to find love. I obligingly provided her with a few of the authors that I loved (more on that in a little bit), but there was something I wanted [...]
