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…

MY (SMALL) MAY TBR: FOR ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH.

Hello, internet gremlins. what's this? me posting twice in one dat?? phaahha. unheard of in these realms. (more like me being really disorganised and posting the first one here before i was meant to...) i though that i would participate this month in everyone else's celebration of asian heritage month by inviting myself to the…

ETERNAL LGBT(+) FAVES + LGBT(+) NEW PURCHASES (Me Hyping The Gay Essentially…)

i MEAN, hello. so as you can probably tell, this post will follow the current theme I've adopted of all posts being a mess. Don't get your hopes up, ladies and gents. We all know we like a little bit of the gay around here, and I don't blame you. PRIDE month for me hasn't…

THE FIRST BOOK I READ IN THREE MONTHS REVIEWED: Red, White, Royal Blue.

so what a time. i read a book, let's celebrate. we all know i struggle with things in life, let alone reading a book. LET ALONE REVIEWING IT IN UNDER 2 WEEKS? its a miracle. honest to god, this was the first gay book that i came across on twitter AND goodreads when I emerged…

come shout at me about all the books I'm just not reading.  this ought to be fun!! (ALSO CAN WE APPRECIATE THAT THIS IS MY SECOND POST OF THE MONTH? I've actually sceduled this in advance??? I'm actually getting my sh*t together??? can we all just.. scream (chill tho) for a mo???) so yes, there's…

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…

Popular Books That Unexpectedly Lived Up to the Hype (i.e me being a wimp and then getting over it).

I was apprehensive about all these books for no reason.  These are all now books that I HOLD SO CLOSE TO MY HEART I can't even explain how much I love them. I was bascailly being a big idiot. Well no.. I had genuine fears of 'oh NO what if I hate the writing style'…

Why I Hate Stereotypes About The LGBT Community, Especially In YA.

When "coming to terms" with being LGBTQ you can often feel like another species, YOU'RE NOT. You can feel like a penguin walking amongst a herd of cows. But you're not a penguin, you're a beautiful, beefy cow too.

[REVIEW] To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before: Unpopular Opinions? Ooops?

I don't think that I've disliked a group of characters more, but saying that I still liked this book????

October Wrap Up: Books Read, Posts Written, NaNoWriMo (??), Life Updates, And More!

whAT a MoNtH.  So I said that I was back???! and then I didn't post again until now so that was semi-FAKE NEWS.  Anyway, I'm here now (obviously you all missed me greatly). October was... a time. And while I had a nice ol break towards the end of the month, I still feel like…
