#BookReview: HOW TO QUIT YOUR CRUSH by Amy Fellner Dominy

#BookReview: HOW TO QUIT YOUR CRUSH by Amy Fellner Dominy

Note: I was supposed to post this a month ago (May 5th to be exact). And I am so sorry I didn’t. But I’m posting it now because I’ve really enjoyed both books in this YA contemporary romance series. You can read the first book’s review here. And just so you know, I should mention this book contains familial grief. The timing of this book’s release cannot be ignored, at least by me. I may have graduated over a decade ago myself (Class of ’09!), but I know a lot of young people missing out on a “proper” graduation. My […]

#BookReview + #Giveaway: I HATE YOU, FULLER JAMES by Kelly Anne Blount

Oh wow, it’s been a while since I read an innocent YA romance. I’ve been on an adult romance kick recently, and I’d almost forgotten what it was like to go back to my “roots”, shall we say. And I Hate You, Fuller James was a good one to read for that sweetness. Just look at that cover! This is some light, tropey goodness. And I say that in an affectionate way. I love tropes. I seek out certain tropes when I’m in particular moods, so please don’t get all snobby about the fact that this book has them. Here’s what you […]

#BookReview + #Giveaway: ANNOUNCING TROUBLE by Amy Fellner Dominy

#BookReview + #Giveaway: ANNOUNCING TROUBLE by Amy Fellner Dominy

For a cold day in hell, it’s unseasonably warm. Announcing Trouble hooked me in from the very first sentence. That doesn’t happen often. Something about it just clicked with me, maybe because I’ve been feeling like the world as a whole (and my own world) has taken a bizarre turn, but it’s still summer. (But who are we kidding, this bizarre turn started back in 2016.) And it kept me on the line, both with witty banter and some solid girl power. In Announcing Trouble, we have Josie and Garrett. Josie knows baseball inside and out, but she avoids it […]

#Excerpt + #Giveaway: TOXIC by Lydia Kang

Excerpt He looks hard at me, which is unnerving. Can he tell that my skin is prickling in goose bumps? That I’m sweating under my clothes? I tap the table with my fingertips. ..     -.. — -. ·—-· –     .– .- -. –     – —     -… .     …. . .-. .

The last update said eight weeks.” Doran pauses for a moment. “It’s now about three […]

#BookReview + #Excerpt + #Giveaway: WHERE THE SEA TAKES ME by Heidi R. Kling!

#BookReview + #Excerpt + #Giveaway: WHERE THE SEA TAKES ME by Heidi R. Kling!

And we’re back with Sienna and Deni! I read Where I Found You about six months ago, and it hit a bittersweet spot in my heart. Centred around a girl who goes to Indonesia following the 2004 earthquake and tsunamis that devastated many countries and people’s lives, it made me remember what it was like to be so close (the Philippines) and to lose a classmate and his family to a wave. I gave the book 4.5 stars because of its emotional impact on me, and I was excited to find out a sequel was coming, set in Cambodia in 2007. […]

#BookReview: JUST ONE OF THE ROYALS by Leah and Kate Rooper

#BookReview: JUST ONE OF THE ROYALS by Leah and Kate Rooper

There were four big reasons I had to read this book. Four things I love separately that came together to form a book I could not resist, despite having a TBR already heaving for June. (No seriously, there are 23 more books I need to read and review this month because I’m cray cray.) But anyway, what tropes lit up in my Must Have It brain centres as I read the blurb? Ice hockey romance Friendship to romance Secret royal expected to take the throne, a la The Princess Diaries 1 & 2 Fake relationship Sign. Me. Up. As the […]

#BookReview: BRING ME THEIR HEARTS by Sara Wolf

#BookReview: BRING ME THEIR HEARTS by Sara Wolf

I tried looking for the perfect gif to show you my expression, but alas, I could not find one that showed my smirk all through reading. You know the kind, where just one side of your mouth curls up, as if you know something juicy? Actually, just look at the face of the girl on the cover. That’s exactly how I looked while reading. You see, Sara Wolf is excellent at banter, and it makes her books so much fun to read. In a departure from Sara’s previous YA/NA contemporary work, Bring Me Their Hearts is a YA fantasy that […]
