March was a wild month for me as I started a new job, began working on a new series of paintings, and tried to figure out how to balance everything. I’m still getting used to my new schedule, and am no closer to having a book fully read, but I’m hoping I can get myself... Continue Reading →
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...

Goodreads Closeout 2021
2020 saw us adapting to quarantines and working/learning from home. 2021 definitely brought some good changes, but it also saw me attached to my phone more and reading less. I also picked up art again and began to work it into my already busy schedule, so my reading for sure took a bit of a... Continue Reading →
December Wrap-Up
December was a busy month, just not for reading. Instead I ended up cleaning, cooking, and taking care of my family. So in lieu of a successful end to the year I’m working on the content and setup for the next year. -The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes -The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn...

Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim {Book Review}
On a book buying trip with my friend I finally decided to check out the hype on Elizabeth Lim's books. They aren't nearly talked about as much as the Sarah J Maas, Rowling, or Armentrout books, but they had come up on my social feeds quite a few times, and that seemed like a sign... Continue Reading →
November Wrap-Up
November was a mix of doing pretty well reading wise, while still not quite hitting the numbers I was really hoping for. Part of it is trying to make up for the low numbers from earlier in the year, but I'm slowly coming to the conclusion/moment where I know I just won't hit anywhere near... Continue Reading →
October Wrap-Up
October was a decent month for releases and reading as I got some well needed conclusions to series I'd been reading. I'm still working on actually doing the reading, but that's another story. -Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim -The Storm of Echoes by Christelle Dabos -When Night Breaks by Janella Angeles (Currently Reading) Overall...

XOXO by Axie Oh {Book Review}
It was pure coincidence I picked this up after Tokyo Ever After, but it somehow was the best choice in the end. I was definitely in the mood for another YA contemporary romance and both of these books were such amazing and immersive stories overall! Synopsis XOXO follows Jenny as she lives in Koreatown Los...

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... Continue Reading →
St. Patrick’s Day Book Tag
Happy St. Patty's Day everyone! In terms of beginning of the year holidays, I love the green of St. Patrick's Day perhaps more than Valentine's Day with the red and pink. To celebrate this holiday I figured I would do another book tag, this one by Embuhleeliest. This one is a lot shorter than the... Continue Reading →
