So this was a hyped book. Allegedly. OK truth be told, I didn’t see ANY hype for this book outside of the Australian publishers doing an ARC call out (thank you SO MUCH to Penguin Random House Australia for sending me a copy of the book for review!) and of course, the adorable author’s own […]
I’m so annoyed at readers disliking fantasy books because they’re ‘too modern’. Characters using modern language but also dragons, oh noes, how can this be? Fantasy books are not always set in medieval times. They are not historical with magic. They are set in entirely different worlds. I know that some of the most popular […]
As a child, I was an avid reader. I was the kid who could always be found with a book in hand, exploring new worlds, and discovering exciting adventures within the pages of well-worn paperbacks. However, what truly set me apart was my penchant for rereading those beloved tales, over and over again. Back then, […]

This book was fantastic. I was a little hesitant in the opening chapters because I wasn’t sure I would get invested in a weird rivals-to-lovers where the main characters already thinks the rival is hot as fuck, but in the end the strength of the rival character won out. I recall at first wanting there […]
Loveless by Alice Oseman introduces readers to the complexities of aroace (aromantic asexual) identities mainly through the character of Georgia. This book delves into Georgia’s journey of self-discovery and acceptance, highlighting her challenges in understanding her aroace orientation. Funnily enough, Loveless wasn’t my first ace book… or even my second. I didn’t realise I was […]
