Sharing books for everyone

  • Happy Anniversary

    It’s official! It’s been one whole year since I started this blog. I’ve done 24 interviews, 415 posts and I’ve definately read a lot of books. So to celebrate let’s think about special books. I, for one, still remember the first book I got from the public library. Of course I can’t find the exact…

  • Ranking Desperate Duchesses

    And they’re not desperate as the title might make you think. We’re in the Georgian era people and unlike the stuffy ton, the parties are more decadent, the games, the rich more careless and everyone is out for their own pleasure. Yes, I say pleasure. All these dukes and duchesses are well-acquainted with the complications…

  • More Thoughts on Tales from Shadowhunter Academy

    Cuz apparently I’m still not over it. Maybe it’s a bit nitpicky or maybe I’m biased because I enjoy Simon/Isabelle/Sizzy but I want another Tales from Shadowhunter Academy. And this time I want it to truly focus on Simon and Izzy.   What I mean is that while the anthology format was entertaining and showed many parts…

  • There’s Something About Sweetie Review

    We bring things back to the Patal family about two years later with Ashish Patel suffering through the throes of the worst kind of hurt, heartbreak. Celia cheated on him and it seems his mojo is lost for good. He can’t flirt, can’t play basketball and he can’t even work up his Ash-smolder. Worse is…

  • Fairest Review

    Since I tackled Ella Enchanted, I decided to read another of Levine’s classic fairytale retellings. This time she tackles Snow White and she does it with plenty of twists and panache. I’ve said before, but I’ll repeat again I really admire her imagination when building her magic system and creating distinct languages, lore and other…

  • Book Highlight: The Valentine’s Hate

    If you like enemies to lovers this is the one you should read for today, Valentine’s Day. It all started when Lizzie Alonso and Brian Anderson were in second grade when he called her card stupid. Then eighth grade when an unrequited crush and bra stuffing led to the humilating Tiolet Titties nickname. Then eight…

  • From Twinkle, With Love Review

    This epistoloary novel is made up of letters from Twinkle to her favorite female directors like Ava Duv, Mira Nair, Nora Ephron etc. (they’re more diary entries than letters really) that immediately bring readers up to speed to who Twinkle Mehra is. A junior in high school, Twinkle dreams of becoming a film-maker and despite…
