  • I’m making an earnest TBR for August because I can’t be trusted

    I bought way too many books this month and it’s only day 9! At this rate I’ll be building a fort and living in my books. Also I’ve been pretty lazy with reading and instead have been watching The Bachelorette. I’m still sore about the ending! In an effort to keep myself in check and…

  • Girl in Snow by Danya Kukafka

    I’ve been hearing a lot of things about this book, so when Simon and Schuster sent over a copy for me to read, I figured why not give it a chance. Disclaimer: This review is my honest thoughts and not in any way shaped by Simon and Schuster. I’m not a fan of thriller novels.…

  • How do readers become writers?

    As the saying goes "imitation is the highest form of flattery." There's a lot of readers out there. A lot. Not every one of them is posting pics on Instagram or forming lifestyle choices around their reads. Some people just read. And we all know that writers read. Reading for writers is as essential as…

  • A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

    I remember reading A Wrinkle in Time as a kid and loving every single word. However, I didn’t actually remember the book. After the recent teaser trailer came out for the movie, I decided I would read A Wrinkle in Time again. It’s always been one of those books I want to read but never…

  • The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

    I will admit something; I met my husband at work. I was on my way to the kitchen in the morning to make myself some breakfast when I saw him there already toasting up some bread and a jam jar in the shape of a bear. When I saw the jar, I immediately gravitated towards…

  • The new trailer for A Wrinkle in Time is out and words can’t express my emotional state

    You guys. You ladies. You all. I have so many feelings about the teaser trailer for the new A Wrinkle in Time. Scratch that, I have so many GREAT feelings about the teaser trailer for the new A Wrinkle in Time. Because I’m not a book tuber, I have to resort to gifs to express…

  • I just want one book that completely understands me

    I’ve been writing a blog post like this for a few years. It’s a topic that comes up every once in a while, but I’ve finally reached a tipping point. It’s a hard truth for me to admit, but I am a quintessential millennial. I love rose gold and fraps and hate cultural appropriation. I…

  • White Fur by Jardine Libaire

    Love love love is such a crazy emotion. It’ll make you happy, sad, angry, violent, giggly, stupendous, and scared for your life. Yet we crave it like a sugar rush and we can’t stop until we have it. Our entire existence revolves around love. Without it, we would be the same people we were yesterday. White…

  • The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

    I’ve been a huge fan of Taylor Jenkins Reid since I read her other novel One True Loves. Just as similarly as I felt about that novel, I feel the same way here. The story is fantastic covering the imaginary screen legend Evelyn Hugo and her tumultuous love life only to reveal one big truth; not…

  • Bookstore Tour – Hoehyeon Underground Market Bookstore

    While on my travels in Korea, I wanted to spend some time checking out the local bookstores. Sadly, I didn’t check out any (blame it on the jetlag and laziness), but while walking through the city’s underground shopping centers, I came across a little bookstore crammed floor to ceiling with books. I could barely fit…
