FIRST READ OF THE YEAR: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of The Universe. (kind of spoiler-y, but not really)

Nothing will top this book. Nothing.  I was seriously a mess after/during reading this book/whenever I think about it. This book has so many powerful messages about LIFE, what it means to be Mexican and growing up in America, Stereotypes, and what it means to be Mexican and gay. So it's no surprise that this…

Coming-Out-Series (P6): Contemporary Battles & Why The Genre Isn’t So Bad | Should We Pick Books Just For The Rep? ft. Is There Enough Rep In Fantasy?

Coming-Out-Series (P3): An LGBT+ Review (AUTOBOYOGRAPHY) Internalised Homophobia, Self Acceptance, Love and Religion All In One.

I am dying of emotions, but 1) that's nothing new, 2) it's worth it. 13/10 recommend the experience. May recommended this read to me, and it did not disappoint! I think that I'll be rereading this until I die* because it was too good to let go of. (Hence why I read it, and then…

AHHHHH ANOTHER CONTEMPORARY THAT I LOVEEEEEE.  CANNOT BELIEVE I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. I started this at midnight, and read for 4 & 1/2 hours, leaving 40 pages for the morning. And honestly, if I hadn’t left those 40 pages, I don’t think that I would have actually been able to sleep. I LOVE…

Hellloooooooo If you follow my blog and remember what I shout out to the world, 1) aww thanks and 2) you may remember this never ending battle that I face with contemporaries. we. Just. do. Not. get. along. any. more. I used to—when I was a foetus—really enjoy a fluffy contemporary book, especially if I…

The Upside of Unrequited Review.

I have a problem with books... but we all knew that already. The Upside of Unrequited is a contemporary, and I know, I don’t read many as fantasy has low-key taken over my life. Howeverrrrrr, Becky Albertalli is so hyped and I’d heard loads of things about her new book so I thought,, why not?…
