Book Review – Belladonna by Adalyn Grace
I want to apologize in advance if this review seems all over the place and incoherent at times… it’s just this book right here is one that has made my list for top books I thoroughly enjoyed this year thurs far. The chokehold this book had on me was unreal. I could not put it down but when I did, it was because I was too overwhelmed with blushing or gasping or accusing the different characters of murder! It had intrigue and most importantly, it had an immortal shadow being that was handsome and mysterious and oh-so-witty. Reading this was like the world had disappeared and I was encased in…

Happy Monday and Happy May! Spring is in the air and it makes me so happy to look outside these days. I hope the change of season has been kind to you all and with it comes a new sense of stride and motivation to continue with your passions or to restart and old hobby that brought you so much joy! Reading has been such a priority for me because it has helped my mental health so much. Going into a different world and reading about incredible characters brings me such fulfilment and motivation. The urge to read this month has been strong. It could be because of all the…

Book Review – The Luminaires by Susan Dennard
It has taken me a while to write this book review, but not for a lack of trying! I have been a huge fan of Susan Dennard for a long while and after reading this book I just wanted to tell everyone about it! I was so obsessed that I started to look up what other people were saying – just to find more readers to gush about it with – and found that the story came when Susan was in a bit of a dark head space dealing with a lot of personal issues. This alone made me love of her more, as if it was possible, and I…

Book I Want to Read in February 2023
Happy February! 💕 I don’t know if it’s the fact that I decided not to put any pressure on myself this year when it came to the things I love like reading and blogging OR if it’s the fact that it has been blistering cold that all I want to do is be cozy inside with a book… OR even if it’s the fact that there are just too many good reads out these days, but whatever the reason, I have been reading every single day without fail and I am loving it! While January was looong and fairly bleak, the whole month felt anything but because of the reading…

Book Review – As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh
I don’t even know where to begin with this one… Despite me finishing the book months ago, I genuinely needed all this time to process the weight of this book and how much I freakin’ loved it. Beyond being able to relate to bits of it (coming from immigrant parents who fled a war, faith, and language)… I was still in absolute awe at how Zoulfa, the author, managed to really grasp the terrors of war beyond the physical, to the mental and spiritual as well. It left me haunted every single time I put the book down to catch my breath. I had several moments when the tears wouldn’t…

Books I Want to Read in November 2022
How has November crept up on us? I swear my concept of time is either really bad, or there is some cosmic mercury retrograde type of voodoo that is making me feel like the days are flying by. Although, the other day I did feel like the start of 2021 felt so long ago… maybe it is me? Either way, I am sooo excited for the books I have decided to read this month. Some all brand new released that I have been waiting to get my hands on and some are books that I have put on previous TBRs and never got to them. Here is my November TBR:…
