Review: Rise to the Sun by Leah Johnson
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I’m getting ready to go camping tomorrow, which I’m looking forward to. This will be the only post this week until Friday, as I’ll be gone on Tuesday. Today, I have a review for one of the books I read for Pride Month! Rise to the Sun was one of my most anticipated releases for 2021. I loved Leah Johnson’s debut novel, You Should See Me in a Crown, so I had some hopes for this. Unfortunately, this book didn’t quite live up to them. Title: Rise to the SunAuthor: Leah JohnsonGenre: YA Contemporary RomanceSeries: NonePage Count: 336 (hardcover) A stunning novel…

Let’s Talk Bookish: Book-to-Film Adaptations
Hey, everyone, happy Friday! I hope you’re all doing well. I am done with summer already. The heat is exhausting. It was in the 100s this past week, making it viably impossible to go outside after noon. It doesn’t start cooling down until the middle of the night. Anyways, I have another LTB post today, one that goes together with the last post I did, which was my thoughts on Heartstopper. I thought this discussion was an appropriate one, seeing as I recently finished the film adaptation. Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits where we…

54 Thoughts I Had While Watching Heartstopper
I HAVE FINALLY WATCHED IT!! I read the entirety of Heartstopper a little while ago (I can’t wait for Volume 5!) because I am very much a “book before film” person. Afterwards, I couldn’t wait to watch the show because everyone was raving about it. Instead of writing a composed and fully thought-out review, I am sharing my unfiltered thoughts I had while watching Heartstopper. Most of time, it was just me obsessing over how adorable Charlie and Nick are and comparing the scenes in the film to the book. And yes, I know 54 thoughts are a lot, but they’re very short. I also drew this digital art portrait…

Let’s Talk Bookish: Books on Vacation
Since I started vacation a little while ago and I’m actually going on a vacation today, I thought this was an appropriate topic. I’m going camping this weekend, a place I go yearly, and I’m getting to see one of my friends who I haven’t seen in a couple months, so I’m excited to see her. And of course, I’m bringing books with me. So let’s talk about it. Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits where we discuss various topics and share our opinions. Today’s topic is Books on Vacation (suggested by Fives @ Down…

The Marvel Avengers Book Tag
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I am a huge Marvel fan. I watched all the movies during quarantine (minus two of them which I still need to see and one that I didn’t watch because people say it’s bad) and have since become obsessed with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. So, when I found this tag, of course I wanted to do it! I don’t remember who I found it from and I haven’t been able to find the creator, but credit to whomever it is. Let’s get into it! *All GIFs link back to their sources. Iron Man: a book that made you laugh out loud All’s…

Review: A Wish in the Dark by Christina Soontornvat
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Being on summer break has felt kind of weird so far. I always feel like there’s something I need to do. When I had school, there was homework and studying, but now, I’m like, “what am I supposed to do with all this free time?” It’s been a month minute since I’ve done a review and I was wanting to get one out, so I decided to review A Wish in the Dark, one of the books I read for AAPI Month. I’ve heard great things about it and I am happy to say that it did not disappoint. Title: A Wish…
