https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42KNwQ6u42U Happy belated Valentine's Day, y'all! The internet gifted us the other night with the new trailer for Everything, Everything and I'm in love!

Swing Time by Zadie Smith
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxPgplMujzQ I've never seen Swing Time in full. I've only seen the parts where Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire dance. Their moves are so hypnotic and envious.

The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
I'll admit, I picked up this book believing that Nicola Yoon was a young Korean woman. The name seemed like a dead giveaway, but I took another look. What I found was a story with more power than a simple love story. Synopsis (from Goodreads.com) Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. [...]

The book will be called The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic. As described in the LA Times, “It’s a collection of stories,” Bardugo said. “The kind of stories [...]
Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
I love when you're on vacation, you don't want to get bogged down by heavy stories or morose endings. You want something light and fluffy to make the vacation more enjoyable. It's like pairing a wine with your dinner. You don't want something heavy to go with something light. You want them to equally match [...]
