Tell Me How You Really Feel by Aminah Mae Safi [review] awesome premise!! alas, I was disappointed

I'm melodramatic asf, so when I say that I'm disappointed, I don't mean that the book was bad. I just have... unrealistically high expectations, which is almost always my downfall when reading? So, disclaimer for my entire post: three stars is not a bad rating (why do I feel like I say this every other …

The Pros & Cons of Reading Challenges/Readathons (ft. upcoming diverse challenges you can join)

In case you were wondering, I am terrible at readathons. Or reading challenges. Or any sort of reading where I need to read by a specific date. Also, tbrs. I can think of one (1) incident where having a set monthly tbr actually worked really well. Anyways, this is all just to say: I often …

April 2019 Recap || I Don’t Even Know How To Describe This But It Was Not Good

Happy Messy Scary Love by Leah Konen [review] It’s a Fluffy Contemporary Summer Anonymous Romance!!

This may not be public knowledge (why would it be?) but I'm a freaking sucker for anonymous romances. By anonymous romances, I mean ones where the main character and love interest communicate in some way but while communicating, don't know who the other one is. Basically, inspired by You've Got Mail or The Shop Around the Corner, …

Descendant of the Crane by Joan He [review] the hype did NOT lie to me, friends. this was amazing

I think I've found my first favorite read of 2019. Well, that's kind of debatable because I'm unsure of whether I would classify The Gilded Wolves as one of my favorites? (It was really good, but I don't know whether or not it was amazing-amazing-aMazInG). This kind of reminded me of Beneath the Citadel x The Girl King, but …

My Favorite Feelings/Moments From Book Blogging (and why I still blog)

Blogging is... a lot of things. It can be really frustrating at times, but it can be really amazing sometimes. I feel like this is my mantra and I've repeated this 100x over, but blogging takes a lot of emotional and physical energy. However, I'm still here for very specific reasons: Free books. I'm kidding.
