Being the huge Grisha fan that I am, Rule of Wolves was one of my most highly anticipated reads of this year. Nina and Nikolai are my favourite characters from the series, and following their perspectives and seeing what they’re up to is always a delight. While I know some people had their reservations about King […]
I’ve heard a lot of hype about House of Hollow on bookstagram, and was immediately curious due to the absolutely stunning cover and the story of three sisters with a strange mystery surrounding them. I was so excited picking it up, because of early reviews promising a really great time with the story! Now 24 hours […]
Wow, I don’t even know where to start with reviewing One Last Stop. I absolutely loved Red, White & Royal Blue and now I can’t decide which of these Casey McQuiston novels I like more! One Last Stop follows August Landry, a 23-year-old student, who has just moved to New York City with few belongings and walls she’s […]
When We Are Invisible is the sequel to the post-apocalyptic YA #loveozya book, The Sky So Heavy. It follows Lucy, Fin and Max as they flee Sydney in search of safety and shelter. This is definitely an important book and gives a voice to women everywhere. Most of the book is set within a camp […]

One of my most highly anticipated books The Prison Healer is out this week, and I had the opportunity to interview Lynette Noni for one of her virtual book launches at Kinokinuya Sydney! I was super excited to receive an early copy of this, having first heard about it about 2 years ago. So what is […]
If there’s anything that I love more than a diverse book, it’s a diverse book with Asian characters. Even better when the premise is completely unique, like with These Violent Delights. This Romeo & Juliet retelling definitely has a few twists to it’s own, as we follow Juliette and Roma in 1920s Shanghai, heirs to their […]
Tiger Daughter is a story of Chinese immigrants, who do what they can do survive after migrating to Australia. Whether it is coping with their crushing pride, unspoken disappointments from losing their previous stature in life, to their children coping with bullying and being different while just trying to live, it covers a lot in a […]
Legendborn was legit one of the BEST books I’ve read all year!!! It’s a pretty wild mash up, you’ve got Mortal Instruments meets King Arthur, Black girl magic, trauma and grief set in college…. BUT STAY WITH ME it was done SOOOO well and everything was explored in-depth as well! I had goosebumps when I […]
