Being 2nd generation American-born Chinese, this book totally called out to me. And, I was lucky to have been given an ARC of this book by NetGalley and Random House in exchange for an honest review. So many of the issues that our protagonist went through, I’ve dealt with – some I am still struggling…
On Courage – A Review of Abby Jimenez’s Part of Your World
Have you ever been so in love with a book, that you were sad that it ended? Sad that you couldn’t continue living in the world where the characters you loved so much would be in? Yeah, this book did that for me. My “one more chapter” mindset led me to well worth a third…
On Strength – A Review of Colleen Hoover’s It Ends with Us
The 2016 Goodreads Choice Awards for Romance went to Colleen Hoover for this book. I know. That was like 6 years ago. But, recently a lot of my friends on Goodreads and Instagram have been reading this book and giving it raving 5 star reviews. So, obviously I had to get my hand on this…
On Torment – A Review of Isabel Cañas’s The Hacienda
Funny how life gets in the way as you get older. I have been reading a lot – just not blogging any reviews lately. Procrastination at its best – ha! OK – onto the review. So this story was marketed as Mexican Gothic meets Rebecca. I haven’t read Rebecca but I absolutely LOVED Mexican Gothic….
Whodunit? – A Review of Simone St. James’s The Book of Cold Cases
A few years ago when The Broken Girls came out, everyone was telling me to read it – about how good it was. I brushed it off because well … I don’t like when something’s so overly hyped because then you have expectations. And more oftentimes than not, you’re left disappointed. Fast forward two years…
On Reminiscing: A Review of Steve Aoki’s Blue: The Color of Noise
I remember it was 2012 – the first year I became familiar with DJs and their genre of music; it escalated rather quickly. First show ever was to see Trance artist Dash Berlin. It was crazy – the show ended at 4:00 am, but I left at 3:30 am only to head back home because…
On Living Dangerously – A Review of Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
I was first introduced to Anthony Bourdain in 2016 by watching his Parts Unknown digital series. This series revolved around travel and food, easily two of my favorite things. So, it wasn’t hard to draw my attention to this show – I was all in. We explored different cultures and cuisines with Tony, saw through…
On Second Chances – A Review of Erin Sterling’s The Ex Hex
I’m a sucker for Romance novels. Add a talking cat? Count me in! Although if I had a cat that constantly greeted me with “Treeeeeeeeeeeaaaaatttsss?” I think I’d go crazy. Because between my boyfriend and I, we have 4 cats. Imagine if all of them talked? I’d never hear the end of it haha. Nine…
On Finding Justice – A Review of S.A. Crosby’s Razorblade Tears
I got this as a freebie from BOTM as it was one of the books that made it to the BOTY finalists – that, and it was the only book from the finalists list I didn’t read so that was an easy pick. I didn’t read the synopsis, I didn’t bother knowing what the book…
On Autism – A Review of Helen Hoang’s The Heart Principle
A close friend has told me how important it is to go through with the proper therapy and treatment, and how grateful she is to have that. She has really bad anxiety that is controlled with proper medication. I take it with a grain of salt, because I’ve never had any issues that required therapy;…
