Mini-Review // Beach Read
When I heard about Beach Read, I thought it’s just like any other romance novel. But I really loved it! This is probably the best romance book I’ve ever read. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his…

Mini-Review // Take a Hint, Dani Brown!
I enjoyed Get a Life, Chloe Brown, so I was looking forward to this sequel. Overall, I liked it. Here’s my review: Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Romantic…

Mini-Review // The Kiss Quotient
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases — a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old. It doesn’t help that Stella has…

Mini-Review: Red, White & Royal Blue
I’ve been hearing lots about this book and couldn’t wait to read it. After a string of long & serious classic and high fantasy novels, I was looking forward to something light, sweet, and fun. Red, White & Royal Blue was EXACTLY what I needed. A big-hearted romantic comedy in which First Son Alex falls…

The Sun Is Also a Star & The Problem with Forever // Sweet YA romances
Hello everyone! Today I think I will be sharing an unpopular opinion haha. [Braces self from thrown tomatoes] I tend to avoid reviewing books that I dislike, especially popular books that everyone seems to love. I always feel like I should be liking the book if everyone else likes it. However the truth is that we all…

Series Review: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
Hello everyone! This is my first series review! (Yay!!) But then again, how did I NOT write a series review since I started blogging in May 2017!? The true is that I don’t read many series, in general. I gravitate towards standalone books (because I like brevity and have commitment issues…… lol) That being said, I…

WIPpet Wednesday: The Price
Happy Hump Day! It was SUPER hard to choose today’s snippet, because this is going to be the last snippet that I will be posting from Matt and Olivia’s story*. Now that I’ve trimmed, formatted, and compiled the novel into a neat PDF for beta-readers**, it doesn’t quite qualify as a WIP anymore. It’s a…

WIPPet Wednesday: My novel is FINISHED!!
Happy Hump Day everyone! YES! You heard me right! I’m finally done my novel! And it’s a weird feeling to be done, you know? My novel has been such a big part of my life for the past few months. I was either writing about my characters or thinking about about them every single day.…

WIPpet Wednesday: How fast can planes fly?
Happy Wednesday! A question for all you writers out there: Do you ever get nervous about showing other people your writing? The reason why I ask is that, now that I am about 99.9% done my novel, my friends and family (aka. my beta-readers) are asking to read it. And that terrifies me. I mean,…
