I’ve been looking forward to a new book from Marie Rutkoski for a long time and I have some mixed feelings about The Midnight Lie.

This review may contain spoilers for other books in the Shadowhunter Chronicles, especially The Infernal Devices. Chain of Gold is the book I have been waiting years for. The Infernal Devices was the first Shadowhunters trilogy that I read and it remains my favourite to date. In fact, it absolutely still is one of my favourite series of all time. I […]
I love both Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed so much and I was so excited to hear that they had collabed on a book. I was equally excited to be part of the blog tour for this wonderful book and I’m happy to announce that there are 3 copies up for grabs at the end […]
Dark and Deepest Red is a magical realism story inspired by Hans Christian Anderson’s The Red Shoes and the dancing plague of 1518 in Strasbourg.

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 […]
I was so looking forward to reading this book and had really high hopes for it but, sadly, it didn’t live up to my expectations. 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 […]
