On Book Reviews
I, personally, love book reviews. When I first discovered Goodreads in ~2013, I remember being amazed that there was an entire community that reviewed books – and I immediately wanted to be a part of that. In the years since then, I’ve written almost 300 reviews, and they’ve made up the bulk of my posts on this blog....
Review | The Lover’s Dictionary by David Levithan
basis, n. There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you’re in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself.

Top Ten Favourite Reads of 2019
Of the 26 books that I managed to read in 2019, here are my ten favourites.
Review | The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
When I first heard that The Testaments was being published, I immediately assumed it was because of the massive success that The Handmaid's Tale saw on Hulu. While The Testaments didn't rehash the show's plot points, as I initially feared, it was an unnecessary addition and a far cry from the original source material.
Top Ten Books I Hope To Find Under My Tree
I didn't do a whole lot of reading this year since I was finishing up my last year of post-graduate studies - as a result, there are a lot of books that I'd like to get for Christmas.
Beat the Backlist Challenge (2020)
I have a book-buying problem: I take home every book that has a gorgeous cover, and they often end up sitting on my bedside table, unread, as the pile continues to grow and grow. Two of my 2020 Reading Resolutions are to read more of the books that I actually own and to borrow books from the library...
