The Most (and least?) Popular Books I’ve Read? // Are Goodreads Ratings A Hot Mess? (Yes!)

Okay. Hello. it has been a while. a few weeks. a few months? maybe a year? sorry. well. Life kind of got in the way for a while. and blogging -- and reading -- definitely got stuck on the back-burner. for a long-ass time. and I’ve been thinking about reading and getting back into reading.…

JUNE WRAP-UP, JULY CATCH UP, 1500+ FOLLOWERS(?!?!?), BREAKS & LOTS OF NOTHING.

I'm writing this and listening to my neighbours' very-loud-radio at the same time (there's lots of ABBA and now i want to watch Mama Mia 2 again). In the Classic Lu Fashion, i disappeared from the internet for over a month (again). i lost all motivation to do anything (again). So i didn't (again). oh…

Mid-Year Freakout Tag // Goodreads Updates, Reading Enjoyment (None) + So Many 2-Star Ratings It’s Hard To Do This Tag.

Can books please be good again. This year is going pretty terribly in terms of book-enjoyment, if I'm honest. this is DEPRESSING to write. i now hate this tag. I didn't expect (at the time of writing this post) to be so far ahead on my GR reading target (I'VE NEBER BEEN AHEAD BEFORE) but…

Discussion: What Makes Me Comment On A Post, Commenting Expectations (watch me sob) & All The Appreciation for them.

WE'RE ALL THINKING IT: I used to really suck at this. and now i've been commenting a lot more -- because (for once) i have the time. i still suck at this. just not as much I'm still looking for more blogs to follow (link some of your faves below) because i really do have…

13 Sweet, Sweet, LGBTQ+ RecS For Pride Month // many #own-voices (11) + you will be sobbing with me (+WHAT TO DO FOR BLACK LIVES MATTER).

IT'S THE BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR. PRIDE MONTH. all of these will make you cry, and most of them will make you into a mess, but you should read them nonetheless. these are some of my top TOP picks that I ADORE + my TBR (ish) for this month. Some I've known about and…

The Stuck At Home Book Tag Ft. All The Scary Books That Intimidate Me.

I haven't done a tag since June 2018. maybe if i didn't abandon my blog that wouldn't be the case. I know we've all had to adjust in some way during the pandemic, big or small!! and that we cannot wait for it to be safe to go and see our friends and loved ones…

May Wrap-Up: Asian Heritage Month Wrap-Up + Thoughts // All The Things I Did to Keep Busy + I Read Lots of Books… (for once??)

IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I DID ONE OF THESE POSTS. God this is so sad because I've missed doing these, but I know that once I'm at uni I probably won't have the time anymore, so these posts/this summer is kind of bittersweet bc I love blogging sm *tears* oh well, enough of those…

JUNE + JULY LGBT Releases To Look Out For That I Will Clutch In My Clammy Hands Forever

MY TBR JUST TOOK A HIT AND GAINED 472342 BOOKS, SO NOW ITS YOUR TURN. I'm not gonna feel guilty. these books all sound great, and there are a lot more!! these are just the ones that i'm super(!!) excited for and really want to SHOVE at everyone. plus??? promo-ing books at the moment is…

6 Comfort Reads: The Books I Constantly Re-Read With Zero Shame and You Should Do The Same.

right now, in this crazy world, we need some time for self-care and relaxation. So why not make yourself uncontrollably SOB? if that's not self-care, i don't know what is.  And of course, rather than reading all the new books I haven’t read, I’ll reread all of these for the millionth time because… that common…

THREE REVIEWS ONE POST: emergency contact, you asked for perfect and P.s i still (no i don’t) love you.

At first, i was frightened by the direction of this month because... i was hating the books i was reading. but luckily that turned around. some scene-setting: It started off nicely, with a reread of I Wish You All The Best, and, ironically, it did not go well from there. Summer Bird Blue (review here)…
