I love romantic suspense novels. I have also enjoyed novels of a different genre by Tara Thomas under a different pen name. Sadly, while I did love the Benedict brothers and Tilly Brock, I did not enjoy Darkest Night as much as I hoped to. Overall, I thought Darkest Night simply had too many elements leaving it feeling a […]
Trying Non-Fiction Books
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 […]

Hello February!
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 […]
Review: Thief of Lies by Brenda Drake (Library Jumpers #1)
This review is based on my reread of Thief of Lies. For my initial review, please check out my review on Goodreads. I reread Thief of Lies in anticipation of the final book coming out on February 6th. I frequently suffer from book amnesia. Unless we’re talking about the book I’m currently reading, don’t expect me to […]
Review: Proof of Lies by Diana Rodriguez Wallach (Anastasia Phoenix #1)
Proof of Lies by Diana Rodrigues Wallach was a fun spy-themed mystery/thriller. The story had a ton of secrets, lots of action, and even a bit of romance. Anastasia has been jet-setting around the world with her scientist parents and her older sister. She’s a black belt and knows four languages. At the beginning of […]
Books featuring Asian Main Characters I want to Read
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 […]
Review: Pretty Dead Girls by Monica Murphy
Let’s talk about Pretty Dead Girls by Monica Murphy. I picked it up for two reasons. 1) I’ve loved EVERYTHING I’ve read by Monica Murphy thus far, and 2) I love YA mystery/thrillers. Pretty Dead Girls started off strong for me. I loved Penelope and Cass, the main character and her love interest. I loved the catty-ness between […]
Happy 2018, Everyone!
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 […]
