You know, Celest Ng is an author I’ve always known about but have never actually read any of her work. Which is a shame because she’s practically a local! I was in the market for reading something shorter, and her debut novel, Everything I Never Told You caught my attention.

Book Review – God of Fury by Rina Kent
In search of something to read that would rival Song of Achilles, I went with the internet’s recommendation of Rina Kent’s novel, God of Fury. Apparently it’s one of many in her “God’s of” series, but this featured a more stand alone couple that would not require any previous interactions with the series.

A few weeks ago my cousin sent me a text telling me she was sending me a book and to not take the title offensively. Seeing that it was called You’re Going to Die Alone (& Other Excellent News) when I unwrapped it certainly made me laugh and I can understand her text more. Well, not offended. If anything, me and Devrie are alike in many, many ways.
Read moreBook Review: Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid
It’s been a while since I’ve followed my own, sage advice. I read Rachel Reid’s novel, Heated Rivalry AFTER I watched the series. Well, technically I finished them both on the same day, but it still counts. More of the show was watched before I started reading and that’s what matters.

We’re talking books, albums, and concerts since that’s what makes up the most of the rest of my time!

Picking books this year has been a struggle for me. In an effort to mix it up a little bit here at the end of the year, I looked back at some titles I wrote down the last time I was walknig through Barnes and Noble, and Killer Potential by Hannah Deitch, managed to stick out.

The fact that I didn’t finish the sixth volume of Case File Compendium before I left for a two week vacation almost feels like a crime. But that doesn’t take away from just how freaking good the latest installment of Rou Bao Bu Chi Ru’s novel was.
Read moreBook Review: Among the Bros: A Fraternity Crime Story by Max Marshall
Max Marshall’s non-fiction debut, Among the Bros: A Fraternity Crime Story, sets out to uncover the truth about Xanax dealers at the College of Charleston, but what he finds instead is so wild I thought this story was the basis of a movie I watched within the last year called, The Line. Yes, there are probably many truths within that movie, but it is a work of fiction at its core, whereas the mess that Marshall discovers is all real.
Read moreBook Review: Guardian Vol. 2 by Priest
As I write this review for the second volume of Priest’s series, Guardian, I realize how long it’s actually been since I finished it. Which is a shame, because I would really like to start the third and final novel soon. Anyway, let’s see what I can remember of this book!
Read moreBook Review: Julie Chan is Dead by Liann Zhang
Sometimes if I’m running dry on ideas for what to read, I do find it enjoyable to find inspiration at a local book store. Am I likely to purchase titles I’ve never read before? Not usually. Especially if I’m unfamiliar with other works from an author. But as I was walking the aisles of my local bookstore, the cover of Liann Zhang’s Julie Chan is Dead caught my attention.
