Whew, I cannot believe I am posting two reviews in the same month! It is quite a relief, to be honest, mainly because I am not the most active blogger. But I hope to change that in the new year! My next review will probably be in a few weeks, but definitely before 2021. As…

Book Review: Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare
We are back with a new book review! I meant to post this in October, but grad school has been kicking my butt. Anyway, I hope it was worth the wait! The next review is coming super soon, hopefully in 1-2 weeks. ♥︎ (As always, if you are only interested in my overall thoughts, scroll…

Book Review: Ghosts of the Shadow Market by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, Maureen Johnson, Kelly Link, & Robin Wasserman
I realize it’s been literal months, just about six, to be exact. I could go into a whole spiel explaining why, but I’d rather not. I know these are trying times, but I’m going to try and have one book review out per month, so here’s hoping this works! This review is for September. I…

Book Review: The Red Scrolls of Magic by Cassandra Clare & Wesley Chu
I am so excited to finally review this! I had plans to read the book when it initially came out almost a year ago (RIP me), but a lot of things happened, and long story short, I didn’t get to reading it until a few months ago. I’m going, to be honest—so much has been…

Book Review: Pretty Little Secrets by Sara Shepard
After many, many months, I’m finally continuing my Pretty Little Liars re-read! This book is a companion novel that takes place between Unbelievable and Wicked. It isn’t a necessary book to read if you want to read the series, however, it is helpful if you’d like to gain more characterization on the four girls; and…

Book Review: Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult
I’m so excited that I had the chance to read another Jodi Picoult novel. There’s so many she’s written, so it’s tough to get through them all when there’s so much out there to read—but with the closing of this story, I’m about three quarters of the way to finishing her canon. Here we go!…

Book Review: Jackpot by Nic Stone
This is the one ARC I got from bookcon back in the spring. I’m sad I didn’t read it before the book was officially released (October), but it still feels super cool to have a special copy. Also, I really liked the book, so there’s that too. Note: I received an advanced copy of this…

Book Review: The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano by Olaudah Equiano
The last travel narrative. We did it, kids. At least we’re going out with a good narrative, but it’s also a sad one, considering it’s a brutal reminder that slavery and colonialism are the roots of all evil, everywhere.

Book Review: Travels through France and Italy by Tobias Smollett
Another travel narrative! After this one I have one left, and I plan to literally never read one for the next five years. Mainly because unless the writer has something interesting to say, I lose interest pretty fast. Here we go! ♡

Book Review: IT by Stephen King
I started reading IT back in October, when I saw all cinematic versions (1990, 2017, 2019). Then I decided to tackle the book, and oh boy, was it a book. There’s so much I want to cover but I’m going to condense it as much as possible, into what I loved and what I didn’t…
