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 […]
Having had The City of Brass on my radar ever since it’s release, I’ve attempted to read it previously on audiobook with no success. So when we picked it for The Name of the Book Club’s August book, I was keen on finally sitting down and reading this hyped book – especially after hearing it has […]
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 […]

It’s important to have stories with queer POC that are not only celebrated, but to also represent teens and people out there. This has turned out to be one of my favourites of the year, and […]
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 […]
