June is upon us, which means SUMMER BABY! I love summer. Yes, here in Hawaii, it does mean extra hot days, possible humidity, and hurricane season, but it also means beach days, lots of sun, summer blockbuster movies, and feel-good, summery books. (Although, I don’t think my list of anticipated reads has many feel-good, summery […]

Hey guys! It’s good to be back. I’m not gonna lie. It’s been a bit difficult these past several weeks. I was in a horrendous BOOK SLUMP. My personal life has been a tad stressful. I’ve fallen way behind in my planners and journals. (Totally fell off the wagon.) There was a bunch of cleaning […]

It’s already mid-March, guys. Obviously, I’m so behind in the world of books. To be honest, I haven’t been reading much. I used to be ahead in my Goodreads challenge by like 2-3 books. Now I’m just on track. I’m in a terrible reading slump. (I’m also trying to desperately save all my money, and […]

I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t read non-fiction. I’ve avoided it most of my life. I always felt that I read enough non-fiction in school and work. Between textbooks, scientific journals, the news, I wanted reading to be an escape from the real world. So fiction it was. This year, I’m trying […]

So it’s February, guys… How are we already a month into 2018? I still write 2017 whenever I write the date. Obviously, I’m not ready for it to be February or 2018 for that matter. Anyway, February is genuinely one of my favorite months. It’s short and sweet with an even 28 days (unless it’s […]

Being an Asian American, I’ll admit I do not read enough diverse books. I know I want Asians to be represented in mainstream media, but I’m also a bit terrified that we will continue to be misrepresented.  Regardless, I know for a fact that there are fantastic books featuring main characters of Asian ethnicity, and […]

2017 was a difficult year. It was a crazy year of highs and lows, especially at work. While I’m amazed by how quickly 2017 went by, I’m SO READY to start fresh and make 2018 a spectacularly good year (hopefully). I’m hoping to blog more consistently in 2018, get a job promotion at work, read […]

The holidays are here! While it’s a time for giving, I think it’s also always important to gift yourself as well. I mean, everyone deserves something for surviving the mayhem of the holidays. (Especially if you’re an introvert like me.) So thinking about what I’d like this holiday, I’ve decided at the top of my […]

As a booklover I read pretty much all book formats. From hardbacks to paperbacks and ebooks (both epub and Kindle), I read them all. (I have never bought an audio book though…) If you’re like me, how do you decide what format you’re going to purchase? In my internal debate while buying a book, these […]

I honestly can’t believe half the year went by already! We’re 6-months into 2017, and I feel like I haven’t  been reading much at all. It’s such a tragedy!!! Regardless of my lack of ability to focus on reading, my TBR continues to grow. Here are some of the books releasing this July that I’m […]
