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 …

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 …

Spoofing Titles of My Favorite Books (and making fake synopsis’)

Disclaimer: this is one of my favorite posts that I've ever written and it's also literally one of the silliest things I've done. What even. So, basically, I'm going to be listing my favorite books and then giving some spoofs of their book titles. After, I'll be giving a fake synopsis based off of the …

Things That Book Bloggers Shouldn’t Feel Bad For (aka why I’m a bookish hypocrite)

I've always had so many thoughts on how the book community is an always-growing community, and how that stresses me out... a lot. There are always new posts every day, and then I always need to be writing new posts all day, and I need to be reading and writing reviews for all the books I need to …

Chrysalis by Brendan Reichs [blog tour] all the plot twists, what the heck

Hello, friends! As it turns out... I didn't return to blogging as normally as I expected I did, and here I am again, bringing you a blog tour post after only one of discussion/list post. Seriously, I'm so sorry, but I do believe that I won't be posting any blog tours for at least half …

My Favorite Aspects of the Nemesis Project Series [blog tour part II]

What are your favorite parts of certain series? First off, I’m sorry that this isn’t a discussion or list post, and that I’m sandwiching two blog tour posts with one non-review post in the middle, but I’ve been really aghagh and classes have just been kind of intense recently?? But I’ll think it’ll cool down… …

February 2019 Recap || Didn’t Post As Much But You Know What? It’s Chill?

My goal for posting was eight times this month. I posted six times. I mean, I guess it's fine but I also feel bad because two of them were review/blog tours?? And I didn't even follow my principle of doing two non-review posts in between, but oh well. This month was an okay reading month! I …
