Hi friends! ❤️ For a gut feeling I can't describe, I feel the need to leave Goodreads. I've used it for 12 years and it's been an awesome journey. Thank you to everyone who has been part of it!
I'm now using Fable, which suits me more. If you want to be friends, add me so we stay connected! https://fable.co/cw-388774822347
Thank you, and take care out there. 🌷

I can't believe I've upped my Goodreads goal twice this year now - hit 100 books earlier this year, then upped it to 120, and now 140!! LET'S GOOOO

My goodness, I am really REALLY loving this. Remy Lai never ever disappoints.

10% in and this book has made me laugh out loud TWICE. Oh my god. Diaspora Asian fam, you'll definitely relate to this. 😭

Ahhhhh I really am not jelling with the writing style at the moment... so I'm going to try and focus on the themes and the story!

This may be one of the WILDEST YA contemporaries I've ever read, but I'm enjoying the trainwreck so much. The protagonist is surprising me in ways I never anticipated. You love to hate her - and she doesn't care if you hate her too.

Despite the overwhelmingly negative/lukewarm reviews for this book... I'm actually enjoying this?

First read of the decade! Let's do it!! 👀✨

I've heard so many wonderful things about this book: that it is devastating, honest, heavy, and will make you cry. I can't wait to read more of this.

GENIE BABY, I'M RETURNING HOME TO YOU

This book won by a landslide in my recent poll ('what book should I read next?' on Twitter!
I'm excited to read this, but have also been made aware of the forced outing subplot that occurs in this book.

Starting this for real now. Let's get wrecked, baby!!!! elmofire.gif

I'm enjoying this so far, and I'm really liking the meaningful and good use of 'parts' in a book. The first part begins with a promising arc and ends with a twist, which will present a new challenge for Maia -- something that I'm genuinely excited to read about.

Onto Part 2!

I have read three short stories so far (stories by Sangu Mandanna, Elsie Chapman, and Sandhya Menon), and I can confidently say:

HUNGRY HEARTS is on track to be my favourite anthology. EVER.

The power of these short stories. You are not ready.

✨✨ I GOT A DRC OF THIS, ONE OF MY MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2019, FRIENDS!!! ✨✨

But seriously, thank you so much to the publishers, Soho Press, for giving me a DRC of this. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THIS TONIGHT!!

This book is breaking me apart tbh lmaooo!!!!

I feel like I'm way too ace for this book lol

This had such a strong start - great hook, compelling world, a tinge of mystery - but the excitement is tapering off a little. Hope it picks up momentum again soon.

Hi friends! I recently released my new book blog - something that I have been working on for months now!

It is called The Quiet Pond; a fantasy-themed book blog with a narrative! There, you'll find book reviews, book recommendation posts, and art. ✨

Thank you, and I hope you all have a splendid day!

It really struck me today, whilst reading PRIDE, that we really need more protagonists like Zuri - a Black woman who is ambitious, flawed, and has a refreshing amount of agency.
She may not be the 'nicest' protagonist -- but we have enough nice protagonists. We need characters like her: real, honest, and unapologetic.

My god these books are so outrageous. Quite enjoying the silliness and over-the-top of it all, though.

Loving this so far. The audiobook narrator is brilliant, and I've been enjoying my commutes (when I listen to my audiobooks) so much more because of the performance.
