Hello there! If you’re here I’m eternally grateful because it’s surprising that people are here even with my mysterious and irregular posting schedule. To read a wrap-up post. Wow. Like not me crying over the fact that I’ll be posting two wrap-ups in a row… It has been a whirlwind of a month and I’m […]
When I say this has been the most chaotic month this year, I really mean it. I’ve just been extremely busy lately and I’m sure you can see that reflected on my blog… this is not how I had planned for things to go but it’s a classic case of my overachieving self thinking I […]

You know, as a psychology student I’m constantly yelling at everyone to get therapy, whether they’re real or fictional. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to sit in a therapy room with some characters. Coincidentally, one of my assignments asked me to put a fictional character of my choice in therapy and I […]
When I say nothing really happened this month I really do mean that. And I didn’t mind it at all. This month was the start of my summer vacation and while technically I was extremely busy with a lot of things to check off my to-do list there’s nothing much of substance to report. My […]
Half of the year has just flown by and yeah let’s not even talk about the weird construct of time. Like always, I’m here at the halfway mark to do the mid-year freakout tag and also update you all on the reading challenges that I had set up for myself for 2022. I think I’m […]
Movies and tv shows that get adapted from books are always a hotly debated topic. The on-screen story is almost never wholly true to the books. In fact, most book lovers are deathly scared that book-to-movie adaptations will ruin their beloved stories on-screen for both the fan base and the unknowing viewers who haven’t read […]
In every person’s story, there is something to hide… The ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet, until the tranquility is shattered by a woman’s terrified scream. Security guards take charge immediately, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four […]

Happy Pride Month!!! I know every time pride month comes around the bookish community is absolutely bursting with queer book recs. And yes at this point my post might as well be a drop in the sea but screw it, I wanted to recommend fluffy queer books, so here I am! I often find myself […]

Hi everyone! Feels good to be writing a blog post again 🙂 I say this when I’ve procrastinated on this one as much as I can but whatever. I’m just really excited to come back to the blog! It feels weird to start posting without sort of checking in with you all and having a […]
A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy Lin had been one of my most anticipated releases for this year. Partly because of the gorgeous cover, partly because it’s basically a magical competition but mostly because of the tea. As a tea-lover, I was absolutely delighted to hear of a book with magic being carried out […]
Hello everyone! Bear with me because this post is going to be a bit different. I honestly don’t know how the formatting will be because I’ve just been procrastinating on this for the longest time and I really want to put this post out there without the pressure of making everything aesthetic and well-formatted so […]
For the past couple of years, I’ve been writing a character appreciation post every Valentine’s Day. I feel it’s better than just recommending romance books (there’s nothing wrong with doing that, I just don’t read that much romance). And even though I decided to do something different this year by talking about romance books I […]
For the shortest month in the year, there was so much happening in February. That being said, whenever my life gets busy my reading and watching stuff takes a dip, as one would expect. Either way, I have lots to talk about, starting with how good this month was. In fact, the past couple of […]
