Kpop in YA Fiction Book Reviews

Every time I get back into Kpop it's like an addiction where it feeds into everything I as a consumer get. My art was the first thing hit as a number of the portraits I've been doing were definitely Kpop idols I currently follow, but my reading this time also had some Kpop influencing it...

My Solutions for a Reading Slump

One thing I've learned by struggling to motivate myself to do even things I typically love is that sometimes strategies and plans have to change. In most cases you come up with a new plan and attack it with some reward at the end, but what if it's something you love, but you're busy or...

Lowdown On…Romance in Other Genres

This one is a little different to the typical discussion topics that I've seen, mainly in the fact that this isn't from the community, but an observation turned question in my head. Romance as a genre is an amazing category of books that in all honesty gets way too much criticism and judgement from non-readers....

Books I’m Thankful For

Around Thanksgiving I usually do a book recommendations I'm thankful for post, but this year I thought I'd mix it up. This isn't truly Thanksgiving as we now start the big Christmas shopping season and start putting up decorations officially, but it's still a season to be thankful for books and the ways they impact...

The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller {Book Review}

I picked up this book as part of my fall reads selection for this year, banking on the synopsis for a cozy, but mysterious read. While it may not have been as dark and mysterious as I had first anticipated I was still surprised by how quickly this book went by, and its slow unravelling...

A Rogue of One’s Own by Evie Dunmore {Book Review}

Historical Fiction has been a genre I've been really wanting to read more of, and somehow I've burrowed into one of its sub genres, Historical Fiction Romance. A Rogue of One's Own continues this trend, and honestly left me excited for more, not just from this author in particular, but the genre as a whole!...

The Lowdown On… Reading Slumps

I would love to say I've never had to deal with a reading slump, or an utter lack of reading, but that would be a huge lie. Whether it's been thanks to a busy schedule, binge watching on Netflix, or just an absence in motivation we all eventually fall prey to a slump. Oddly enough,...

Empire of Gold by S.A. Chakraborty {Book Review}

I was introduced to the Daevabad Trilogy by Instagram/Chance, and it is perhaps one of my favorite books I've stumbled upon with that app. I loved City of Brass so much that I am still sad it had to be left behind after sand/water damage left it in really bad condition, and while Kingdom of...

Top 5 Adult Fiction Reads

I typically end up reading a lot of Young Adult Fiction, mainly due to how the books are paced, but occasionally I come across some really well written and well paced Adult Fiction. This list is only a short one of some of the books I've enjoyed over the years that just so happen to...

The Lowdown On: Reading Classics

I feel like you haven't been a reader if you haven't been asked about your hobby and immediately felt some level of judgement at some point. It comes in all forms, from the mostly harmless 'I don't read {so why would you do that for fun?}' to the have you read this classic or this,...
