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

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)

The Magician: Demarco, the brooding judge with a dark past he can no longer hide… Read More Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles (Blog Tour: Excerpt)
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
Some people ARE illegal. Lobizonas do NOT exist. Both of these statements are false. Manuela Azul has been crammed into an existence that feels too small for her. As an undocumented immigrant who’s on the run from her father’s Argentine crime-family, Manu is confined to a small apartment and a small life in Miami, Florida. Until Manu’s protective bubble is shattered. Her surrogate grandmother is attacked, lifelong lies are exposed, and her mother is arrested by ICE. Without a home, without answers, and finally without shackles, Manu investigates the only clue she has about her past–a mysterious “Z” emblem… Read More Lobizona by Romina Garber (Blog Tour: Review)
Ulla Tulin was left abandoned in an isolated Kanin city as a baby, taken in by strangers and raised hidden away like many of the trolls of mixed blood. Even knowing this truth, she’s never stopped wondering about her family. When Ulla is offered an internship working alongside the handsome Pan Soriano at the Mimirin, a prestigious institution, she jumps at the chance to use this opportunity to hopefully find her parents.
