• Classics Remixed

  If you’re ever in the mood for a classic but aren’t in the mindset to translate the sometimes archaic eighteenth/nineteenth century language and lengthy descriptors, or just plain want classic characters that look like you and apply to your experiences, try Feiwel & Friends’ latest line, Classics Remixed. I briefly highlighted the premiere book in…

  All the Fighting Parts by Hannah V. Sawyerr This poetry follows in the vein of Elizabeth Acevedo with short prose that pack a punch. Makes sense as Sawyerr thanks Acevedo for her mentorship and help in the acknowledgements. But Sawyerr’s work stands on its own as she tackles the difficult topic of assault and what…

• Book of the Month: Rise of the Snake Goddess

  If you want to read my full review of the book, just click on the tags below. Anyway, rereading it didn’t bring up new insights for me. It’s still very enjoyable although I feel the first one was better as it had a tighter plot and it was longer in general. Still, there’s lots to…

• Book fo the Month: Mansfield Park

  Since we swiftly finished Shutter Island, the book club decided to go straight on to the next book, Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. Since Austenites the world over know the plot, I won’t repeat it but these are just general thoughts I have after reading it for the first time in years. I’ll admit I’m…

• Plans for 2024

  Hello everyone, I hope the New Year is treating you well. Since last year was super productive on the reading front, it’s tempting to shoot for another 100 but I’m dialing back this year. I have two grad programs to get through and I really want to get back to my own writing. So I’ll…

• Reading Log 2023

  Last year, I read an amazing 500 books so this year it was only reasonable that I reach a little more and try to get to 600. I didn’t. I got to 700 books!! And yes, maybe it’s considered “cheating” if you count those graphic novels and lower grade books that are easy to read…

• Tokyo Ever After/Tokyo Dreaming

  After reading The Princess Diaries, this duology also got on my radar of similar themes of an American girl suddenly finding out that she’s the illigitimate daughter of a prince and heads over for a crash course in protocol, paparazzi and romance. And yes, those similarities do pop up as there’s a lot Mia, and…
