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

Life-altering revelation: I have terrible memory and can't remember the last month! It's SO HARD to write a monthly recap two weeks late because ummm I forgot literally everything that happened?? I have terrible memory and at this point life just feels like a blur. Months are melding into each other. What happened in April …

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, …

My TBR for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!!

I was supposed to post this the first day of May, but there was a small problem and that problem was that I hadn't written the post yet because I suck. Anyways, hello hello everyone, I'm back from not posting for like, a week (or two? time is a manmade concept) and here's going to be …

10 Books That I Put Down That I Want to Pick Back Up Again (Well, Eventually) ft. my dumb stories

I make a habit of dnf'ing books randomly, when I'm literally in the middle of them. I just put them down... and don't pick them up, ever again? But there's a few, select, lucky few books that I know I will eventually pick back up again!! And hopefully I will enjoy the second time that …

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. I'm …

Book Covers With People of Color on Them That Just Butter My Eggroll (part ii)

It's time for the second half of the rainbow, my friends. This is part two to my previous post about my favorite covers w/ models of color and also the second half of the cover-rainbow scheme!! ❤ (By the way! I was saving my rainbow Instagram picture to be the featured image of post I loved, and …

Far From Agrabah by Aisha Saeed [blog tour & giveaway!!] ft. a Novel Retelling of Aladdin

I heard "Aladdin" retelling and "author of color" and I arrived. Like I mentioned in my March recap, I'm not entirely sure of whether or not this would technically be classified as an ownvoices novel because I'm not 100% educated or informed on which nations are considered Arab (the author is Pakistani). But I was still …
