Publication Date: 14 August 2018 Publisher: G.P. Putnam's Sons Genre: Literary Fiction Pages: 384 I love finding my five-star reads of the year, of which there are usually only a few. Last month I read Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens and enjoyed reading every page. It is so well-written, with strong characters and a vivid setting that … Continue reading Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens 5 ⭐ Review

Feminist Books On My TBR
I recently went through all of my unpublished drafts. Most were unpublishable, and some were just so old that they're now irrelevant. I found this one from 2018 and thought it was still relevant and interesting. I wrote it when I was writing a thesis closely related to feminism and wanted some feminist reads, so … Continue reading Feminist Books On My TBR
Why I Stopped Blogging About Books
The past two years on my blog I have posted whatever the heck I want, albeit very infrequently. Recently I have been reading a few of my old blog posts, and I am amazed at how my mindset has changed (plus my writing style, but let's not worry about that). I had so much more … Continue reading Why I Stopped Blogging About Books
A Post About Books
I'll be honest, I have not enjoyed reading as much as I used to. I cannot remember how I consistently wrote blog posts about books, and especially how I reviewed them. That said, I have really liked most of the books I have read this year. So I am going to do a few mini … Continue reading A Post About Books
The Bride Test by Helen Hoang (review)
Publication Date: 7 May 2019 Publisher: Berkley Genre: Contemporary Romance Pages: 296 Synopsis Khai Diep has no feelings.

His family knows better—that his autism means he just processes emotions … Continue reading The Bride Test by Helen Hoang (review)
Bon Voyage – The Books I’m Taking to Europe
Hi everyone! I know, I barely ever post anymore. How's life? I don't really have a good excuse for being so absent, unless writing a thesis, raising a puppy, and working a part-time job counts. In theory, I could have posted something, but, at the end of each day, I guess I preferred watching Netflix … Continue reading Bon Voyage – The Books I’m Taking to Europe
Again, But Better by Christine Riccio (review)
Shane has been doing college all wrong. Pre-med, stellar grades, and happy parents…sounds ideal – but Shane's made zero friends, goes home every weekend, and romance…what’s that?

The Behind the Blogger Tag
Hey everyone! This is my first post of 2019. And it's almost March! I wasn't able to post until now because I've been writing up my masters thesis. It has probably been the most difficult / most annoying thing I've had to do in my life. Thankfully, I have handed in the first draft! It's … Continue reading The Behind the Blogger Tag
2018 Favourites (Movies, Bullet Journalling & More)
Besides books, I have a few favourite things I've been enjoying in 2018. I'm always interested in trying new things but sometimes hobbies are expensive for students like me! So movies and TV are how I entertain myself most of the time, but I also do other things like bullet journalling and writing. Here is a list of my favourite things!
