Carry On was one of my favourite books of 2015 (Jeann and Aila loved it too – check out our discussion review!) and I could have lived happily with just that one book. But Rainbow Rowell decided to gift us with more and I’m certainly not complaining. While Wayward Son didn’t quite reach the heights of Carry On (in […]
I’ve had a difficult time finding contemporary novels that I’ve loved this year, and Scars Like Wings has definitely been one of the best. Which makes me even more delighted to be part of the blog tour. Check out the blog tour schedule here. There will also be a giveaway for one copy of Scars Like Wings […]
Hungry Hearts: 13 Tales of Food & Love is a short story anthology with diverse characters and food as an underlying theme. Each of the 13 stories are set in Hungry Heart Row and follow characters and locations that appear sporadically in each of the short stories. I absolutely loved how the stories were interwoven […]
My gosh did I love this book! I can’t believe I have to wait another whole year until the sequel is released. I was left with so many thoughts and feels and honestly went searching for American Royals fanfiction… only to realise that there was none.

Being an Asian-Australian, I love reading about other diasporas and their experiences, and I thought I would absolutely fall in love with I Love You So Mochi because I love all things […]
It Sounded Better in My Head is an incredibly relatable Australian YA coming of age story that I would have loved as a teen. It has a slice of life vibe to it and the book is just everything that I was thinking as a teen and was too scared to say out loud. The novel […]
Warning: This review is mostly spoiler free but may contain minor spoilers for The Infernal Devices. The book itself contains spoilers for The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices and The Dark Artifices. I’ve never hidden my love for the Shadowhunter books and it’s definitely no secret that my favourite YA series is The Infernal Devices. So when […]
The Red Scrolls of Magic is the first book in a Shadowhunters spin-off trilogy featuring Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. It takes place after the first three books of The Mortal Instruments and before City of Fallen Angels. However, I think the book can definitely be read without having read TMI or any of the other Shadowhunter books – though you […]
