The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo Published September 26, 2017 Summary on Goodreads Buy Links: Amazon | Audible | Book Depository Review: The only thing I wished about this book was having a short story featuring Sulli just because we have a main character from there and they are mentioned a few times but at the end of the day, there isn't a lot of backstory about that place and I find that quite interesting.   Out of the 6 short stories, my favorites were definitely the first one and the last one.  They were both so whimsical and I loved how these stori ..read more

House of Dragons by Jessica Clues Published May 12, 2020 Summary on Goodreads Buy Links: Amazon | Book Depository Review: This book exceeded all of my expectations.  I didn't bother reading the synopsis right before I started this book so I was pleasantly surprised by everything that was happening from the "outcasts" who were chosen to the competition to the dragons and just everything. I loved how dragons played such a pivotal role in this because a lot of fantasy with dragons usually use them as a prop.  However, in this book, they were very much front and center ..read more

I'll Be The One by Lyla Lee Published June 16, 2020 Summary on Goodreads Buy Links: Amazon | Audible | Book Depository Review: This was such a good read because I felt so seen.  There were just so many instances in this book that felt so relatable from the way how her parents acted at times to the k-pop references and so much more.   As someone who is Asian and have lived with Asian influences her entire life, I can completely understand about the fat phobia culture that is very prevalent.  Even my own parents will comment about weight regularly so I comp ..read more

Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein Published June 23, 2020 Summary on Goodreads Buy Links: Amazon | Audible | Book Depository Review: I wasn't sure what I was expecting but I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.  I loved reading about the romance, the gymnastic lingo and the whole Olympic competitive world.   The one thing I would mention would be the trigger warnings.  There is a lot of mention about depression, sexual assault/harassment as well as a lot of emotional abuse that is mentioned throughout the book.  So if t ..read more

The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang Published August 6, 2019 Summary on Goodreads Buy Links: Amazon | Audible | Book Depository Review: This was just as satisfying as the first book, The Poppy War, where so much action and plot twists kept occurring.  I was constantly at the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next and hoping that it won't be as bad as I predict. As much as I enjoy reading about Rin, there were numerous of times when I felt so frustrated with her decisions because they weren't always the best ones.  At the same time though, I could understa ..read more

Date Me, Bryson Keller by Kevin van Whye Published May 19, 2020 Summary on Goodreads Buy Links: Amazon | Audible | Book Depository Review: I was blown away by how utterly adorable and cute this book was and I just enjoyed reading every minute of it.  After finishing it, I did hear that it was quite similar to a Japanese book but this one delved a lot more about race and homophobia.   While majority of this book was adorable and fluffy af especially all the banter between Kai and Bryson, there were still quite a bit of serious undertones to this book. &nbs ..read more

These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong Published November 17, 2020 Summary on Goodreads Buy Links: Amazon | Audible | Book Depository Review: Talk about being disappointed.  While this wasn't a bad book by any means, I was sorely disappointed by the end of it.  I expected a Romeo and Juliet retelling and this wasn't it.  To say it was a retelling is overly exaggerating it.  To be more precise, it is inspired by Romeo and Juliet but that's pretty much it.  There is so much more to this book than that. What I loved about this book was the discussion ..read more
