Pride & Prejudice + Muslim Remix = Perfect Romcom! Ayesha at Last was sweet, heartfelt, uplifting, and just perfect. I love the nods to Pride & Prejudice, while staying true to the character’s Muslim heritage. The family interactions were so touching and beautiful, and the slow-burn romance was absolutely adorkable. All in all, this book […]
If I could sum up Wicked Fox, it would be into two (both equally fantabulous) parts: Part 1: Soft, Fluffy School Kdrama The first part of the story starts with the introduction of Miyoung, a cold and calculated gumiho (nine tailed fox) who recently moved to Seoul with her equally beautiful, equally smart mother. But readers […]
Today we are participating in the #SpinTheDawnTour organised by Caffeine Book Tours, to celebrate this #ownvoices Asian fantasy book! I’ve been excited for this book since I first heard the synopsis – after all, the cover is absolutely MAGNIFICENT and I never say no to a Chinese-inspired story with hints of Mulan. I’m happy to […]

Here’s 5 things you’ll find in Darius the Great Is Not Okay: 1. Learning about your own heritage Back home, […]
What a stunning fantasy debut! Seriously fantasy readers, you better have this book on your radar. The Girl King reveals a stimulating plot full of betrayal and sacrifices as characters fight their way to the top. Among the ensemble of casts is Lu, Min, and Nokhai. All three of them have very distinct POV’s that […]
Isn’t it the best thing when you pick up a book unexpectedly and you end up really enjoying it? Emergency Contact piqued my interest because it’s about a Korean-American girl who starts her first year of college, and a soft boy who has just broken up with his ex-girlfriend who works (and lives) at the local […]
The Kiss Quotient was such an adorable read! I’d been dying to get my hands on a copy since hearing all of the love that other bloggers and reviewers have been giving this book, including our very own Aila! So I was beyond excited when Jeann sent me her copy. It was an extremely cute and […]
