Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan | Review

Review: Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan A ritzy, glitzy book full of outrageous descriptions of the ultra glamorous lives of the rich in Singapore, Crazy Rich Asians is SO MUCH FUN. There are definitely fish-out-of-water vibes when outsider and New York professor Rachel Chu decides to come to Asia for a summer holiday with her two-year boyfriend Nicholas Young. Unbeknownst to her, Nick is actually one of the richest men in Asia and she’s walking into a lion’s den of ladies who want to marry him. The Rachel-Nick part of the story is, indeed, the main plot line, but […]

“Always Starting Over”: One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid | Review

Review: Holy moly. ONE TRUE LOVES by Taylor Jenkins Reid answers one of my biggest questions – and I think a lot of people’s questions – about whether you can have more than one “love of your life.” I’ve always wondered what would happen and how I would feel if something like this happened to me. Even now, I can’t even fathom it, but I feel like Taylor Jenkins Reid, with her brilliant, sensitive, emotional writing, has given me a glimpse into a little bit of how I would feel. I’m not even going to try to summarize this, because […]

| Waiting on Wednesday | Leave Me by Gayle Forman

I don’t think there’s anything I really need to say about this other than GAYLE. EFFING. FORMAN. My favorite author writing adult books. …But if I did want to say something, I would say: 1) that cover is beautiful 2) it has travel in it, and I have seriously good feelings about Gayle and travel writing 3) what Gayle does better than any author is tap into my journey, my feelings, and I can tell you right now…as someone who often wishes she weren’t an adult with responsibilities, this book is gonna hurt so good. Is LEAVE ME by Gayle […]

Top Ten Tuesday #12: Best Sequels

Top Ten Tuesday #12: Best Sequels

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish to highlight a top ten list related to book blogging, and to get to know fellow book bloggers. This week’s topic was suggested by me awhile back! To me, a really good sequel should take the themes and characters from the first book and advance them so much that you’re sort of knocked off your seats.  In no particular order: Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins – I can’t think of a better companion to Anna and the French Kiss – not only […]

Top Ten Tuesday #10: Best Books I Read Before I Was A Blogger

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish to highlight a top ten list related to book blogging, and to get to know fellow book bloggers. GREAT topic. It took me a long time to jump on the blogging bandwagon, so this is a great one for me to spotlight all of my old favourites! I still recommend these to people a lot: 1. Secret Society Girl series by Diana Peterfreund – finding SSG and Diana’s blog was a big part of my descent (or ascent?) into book obsession/bloggerdom. I know I recommend these […]

Top Ten Tuesday #8: Books I HAD To Buy…But Are Still Sitting On My Shelf Unread

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish to highlight a top ten list related to book blogging, and to get to know fellow book bloggers. Quick and dirty TTT today, guys – I’m super busy with work and haven’t been sleeping or doing anything else much lately. My embarrassing overarching excuse for not having gotten to to these earlier is that I got way too excited requesting ARCs in my first year as a blogger that I’ve gotten a bit bogged down. Rookie mistake. I’m really hoping to change that as this blog […]
