    Book Review – As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh

    January 19, 2023 / No Comments

    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…

    Spooky Reads to Devour this Halloween Season

    October 11, 2022 / No Comments

    With spooky season here, and Halloween nearing, I thought this would be the best time to share some of my favourite spooky and not-that-spooky, thrilling, and heart-wrenching reads to get you in the spirit of the season. Here are some of my favourite spooky and not-so-spooky but definitely thrilling reads: The Witch Haven By Sasha Peyton Smith I read this book last month and don’t know how I never knew about this book! I saw it looking so beautiful on the shelf and practically bought it without even reading the back cover. It is a perfect blend of intrigue and creepy without being too creepy. I won’t post the full…

    Book Review – The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber

    September 16, 2022 / No Comments

    I ran, well walked but very quickly, to my local bookstore to pick up this book on publication day! I even did a cute little reel (my first one!) on my insta which you can check out: @mariamsbookmark This book is EVERYTHINGGG… Honestly one of the best that I read this year and reminded me, as if I needed reminding, why it was my most anticipated release this autumn! I loved it so much that I read it all in one sitting, no breaks for the bathroom or food or anything… even after I finished it, I sat there quietly staring at the wall, panicking on the inside about how…

    Book Review – The Drowned Woods by Emily Llyod-Jones

    September 12, 2022 / No Comments

    I can’t even express how happy I am to be back writing a book review! Besides almost every other bookish thing on this blog, my other fav thing to post is book reviews. Being able to gush or express my emotions from reading a book that either gripped me or maybe, sadly, didn’t and discuss it with other readers is what I think most book bloggers do this for! The Drowned Woods was published last month and it made its way into my September TBR. I mean look at that gorgeous cover and tell me it’s not making its way onto your TBR too? Note: this is a non-spoilery review…

    Review – The Lost Dreamer by Lizz Huerta

    April 8, 2022 / No Comments

    I am so excited for my first book club related review! As you may know, I created a book club along some amazing women titled “Fiction Addiction”. We have read about 3 books so for, and it’s my lucky turn to discuss the March book club pick. The Lost Dreamer was a lovely story. It was a bit slow paced for my liking but overall it had amazing potential and incredible characters. It was inspired by Mesoamerica which was very interesting to read about! I would recommend it for those who are interested in intricate worlds but also slow reads or plots that take a while to really dive into.…
