Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown
I contemplated back and forth for the past few days if I want to write a review for this for the simple reason that it is a controversial book, and this blog is for fun, not for debates and tension. But in the spirit of Brené Brown and the book itself, I am choosing to […]

Podcast Update #1
Good afternoon! I finished my fall semester today, meaning I am officially on break until spring semester starts in January. This means that I am getting a little time to catch up on everything, and when I say everything, I mean: writing, reading, podcasting, everything books! I am currently at the 42,000 word mark for […]

You Are Not Alone by Hendricks & Pekkanen
I listened to the You Are Not Alone audiobook, and wow, am I impressed. A couple months back, I happened to pick up a copy of The Wife Between Us, penned by the same two women, and absolutely adored it. Truthfully, this one is even better. I am generally a big fan of the gigantic […]

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
What. A. Book. I am legitimately impressed, and I do not say this lightly. The Great Gatsby is the type of book that makes me want to tackle everyone I meet to ensure they have read it, and if not, acquire a copy to shove into their hands. It really is that good. The strange […]

You by Caroline Kepnes
In all seriousness, this book is probably going to put me back several years in the world of dating. I mean, seriously, I can’t remember the last time a piece of fiction has had me this paranoid, and had me going this many times over every interaction I’ve ever had with a man. And that […]

My Second Book Release!
I am so happy to announce the release of my second young adult suspense novel and sequel to The Half Theft, Better Luck This Time. I’ve spent more than a little time stressing over whether it is the perfect book and whether I am ready to hand it over to the eyes of the world. […]

Girls Don’t Want Boys, Girls Want Malina
Just a couple days ago, I finished reading Ruin and Rising. The reason it took me until now to post a review is only because I needed a minute to process what I just read. Also, I was busy crying. Many times. So let’s start where it makes sense. It’s a five-starrer. If you saw […]

Childhood FOMO Made Me Read Goosebumps
Everybody loves a good old FOMO sesh every once in a while, right? Just a gripping, sudden fear of missing out on anything and everything people have done and experienced that you haven’t yet? Well, that’s exactly what led me to the Goosebumps series. Perpetually frightened child I was, horror books never particularly struck a […]
