2019: My Year in Books
Last year, I challenged myself to read 40 books – and bless my schedule – I can’t believe I actually made it. I know it’s not that much compared to a lot of people in the book community – but as slow a reader as I am and how hectic my work schedule is, consistently…

Review: While You Were Reading by Ali Berg and Michelle Kalus
This is for the adults that still dreams of romantic things and happy ending. For the ones that still love and appreciate the comfort of written words so much that it is still an escape from their hectic lives after all these years. Honestly, I felt seen. A “29-year-old dog-earer of books” – dial this…

Review: The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
To say that I thoroughly enjoyed The Starless Sea is an understatement. I loved every word in it and every minute of it. If I could pocket this book and carry this everywhere, I would – knowing that I will hold a little piece of magic with me all the time.

Review: Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory by Raphael Bob-Waksberg [+ Random Reflections]

There’s a sense of empty restlessness and melancholy that hangs heavy in this collection. And I am so in awe because, most times, it’s really hard to encapsulate and describe it – hard to capture it through moments. But weirdly enough, this book got it.

The idea of twin goddesses ruling a world that was split into night and day presents such a vivid imagery. I dove into this book without expecting anything but what I got were rich world-building and a pace and presentation that totally worked.

Jade War is one of the strongest sequels I’ve read so far – ever! It was more explosive, bigger in scope. It will hit you right where it was supposed to and then some. Fonda Lee delivered and have given us more that what we asked for.

Review: An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
One notable thing that I must truly commend is how atmospheric this book is. I feel like this is how stories about faeries should be written. I was swept away by the story – something that was told, maybe a couple of times before already, but executed so beautifully it’s hard not hold your breath…

Review: The Black Tides of Heaven (Tensorate, #1) by J.Y. Yang
Unique, innovative and insightful, J.Y. Yang wasted no time from the very first paragraph to immerse us in their world. It honestly felt like I’ve been accidentally pushed in deep waters. It took effort but it was too interesting not to love the process.
