Welcome to my monthly TBR post for (the rest of) September 2020!

When I’m not working, I’m running errands or doing laundry or washing dishes. Adulting is… Read More Monthly TBR: September 2020
Welcome to my monthly wrap-up post for August 2020! I had this post ready to go beyond this intro section way before the end of the month. Who knew that it would take this long to write my intro?! Haha. I’m gonna blame work because I spend almost every waking moment thinking about this one… Read More Monthly Wrap-Up (August 2020)
High schooler Matt’s father is rich, powerful, and seemingly untouchable– a mobster with high hopes that his son will follow in his footsteps. Matt’s older brother Lukas seems poised to do just that, with a bevy of hot girls in tow. But Matt has other ambitions–and attractions. And attraction sometimes doesn’t allow for good judgement. Matt wouldn’t have guessed that Jason, the son of the city’s police commisioner, is also carrying a secret. The boys’ connection turns romantic, a first for both. Now Matt must decide if he can ever do the impossible and come clean about who he really is, and who he is meant to love… Read More The Friend Scheme by Cale Dietrich (ARC Review)
Pinky Kumar wears the social justice warrior badge with pride. From raccoon hospitals to persecuted rock stars, no cause is too esoteric for her to champion. But a teeny-tiny part of her also really enjoys making her conservative, buttoned-up corporate lawyer parents cringe. Samir Jha might have a few . . . quirks remaining from the time he had to take care of his sick mother, like the endless lists he makes in his planner and the way he schedules every minute of every day, but those are good things. They make life predictable and steady… Read More 10 Things I Hate About Pinky by Sandhya Menon (ARC Review)
I’m a bit late with my July monthly wrap-up post, but a few days late is still better than 3 months late right? Haha. It also looks like I posted quite a few book reviews! I’ve been catching up on my reading and writing reviews it seems. Yay! How’s your reading going? Are you on track?… Read More Monthly Wrap-Up (July 2020)
Welcome to my monthly TBR post for August 2020! I’m slowly catching up on things!

But I can’t have any… Read More Monthly TBR: August 2020
Welcome to my monthly TBR post for July 2020! Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t posted one of these since April. Things got a little away from me. But I won’t ramble about it here.

Everyone knows about the dare: Each week, Bryson Keller must date someone new–the first person to ask him out on Monday morning. Few think Bryson can do it. He may be the king of Fairvale Academy, but he’s never really dated before. Until a boy asks him out, and everything changes. Kai Sheridan didn’t expect Bryson to say yes. So when Bryson agrees to secretly go out with him, Kai is thrown for a loop. But as the days go by, he discovers there’s more to Bryson beneath the surface, and dating him begins to feel less like an act and more like the real thing… Read More Date Me, Bryson Keller by Kevin van Whye (ARC Review)
Well, it looks like a third of 2020 got away from me. We’ve all been dealing with COVID-19 one way or another, and I suppose that for me personally…the whole thing decided to target my mental health.

It could solve all of Nate’s problems, and Kate needs the money too… Read More The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park (Review)
