Books, Reading, and everything in between
Today is a very special Wednesday because not only is it the day I share my current reads with you, but this read is also an author spotlight of mine for November. Octavia Butler has been on my reading list since I bought this Mind of My Mind t-shirt from Out of Print Clothing. I recall feeling [...]
A few weeks ago, I put out a short-term project called #tamingtheTBR. This was basically a way for me to clear my bookish calendar for the summer and let me read whatever I want. It's the summer after all and the summer deserves certain types of reads. For me, it's going to be a lot [...]
I really wanted to like this book, but for some reason I couldn't even finish it. I'll try to be honest in my review below, but I do encourage you to try and read it if it's been of interest to you. Here's more about the book The Beijing Duck House in Rockville, Maryland, is [...]
So over the weekend I went to my third (and probably final) BookCon. For those who aren't aware, BookCon is a yearly convention for book readers to go and meet their favorite authors, find some new great reads, and even find some new bookish friends.

I was so excited to read Mary Ting’s newest book ISAN (International Sensory Assassins Network) because it’s been a while since I read a good dystopian YA. I also loved the idea of women assassins kicking butt and taking names. It was a great read and I can’t wait to chat more about it. Here’s [...]
Oh my goodness, let me tell you about a 2017 Goodreads Award nomination that just blew me away. I can't believe there isn't more buzz around this book because it surprised me so hard. Dang. Here's more about the book Maddy is a devoted stay-at-home wife and mother, host of excellent parties, giver of thoughtful [...]
And just like that, we're in May. It feels like April kind of swept on by but that happens when you're on vacation for two weeks straight. After I got home from vacation, I've basically been writing and trying to catch up on blog posts. I have so many things to share with you in [...]
I'll admit, this is one of those books I picked up because the cover was gorgeous. I'd never heard of Mary HK Choi or the work she's done, but I knew she wrote a YA for the current generation of kids and that it was epic. The cover seemed like a bonus. Here's more about [...]
