7 Books by Asian Authors I Recommend
Hello, everyone! I hope you’re doing well. Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! (More like end of the month at this point). I’ve been drafting this post for a really long time, and I finally got it done. Today I have a list of books by Asian authors that I enjoyed and recommend. I just want to note that it’s important to read books by Asian authors year-round, not just in May. Red Scarf Girl ~ Ji-Li Jiang This historical fiction memoir tells the story of Ji-Li Jiang*, a twelve-year-old girl who grew up during the Cultural Revolution. It’s not a light read, I will admit, but there’s…

8 Overlooked Books I Think Everyone Should Read
Hello, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I have a list of books I think everyone should read. Some of these books are aimed at younger kids, around middle grade (or even younger), but they have strong and powerful meanings behind them. They’re good lessons for anyone, regardless of age. Now, these books aren’t necessarily underrated or not popular (though some of them are) but I think they’re not as appreciated for the lessons they can teach people. They’re overlooked in that aspect. So without further ado, let’s get started! The Missing Piece of Charlie O’Reilly ~ Rebecca K.S. Ansari For a book published nearly two years ago,…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Spring 2021 TBR
Hello, everyone! I’m you’re doing well. It’s been about a month since I’ve done a Top Ten Tuesday, so I thought I’d do one today. You Have a Match by Emma Lord I’ve been seeing this book mentioned on a lot of people’s blogs, and the comments have been positive, so I thought I’d give it a try as well. The summary sounds really interesting. “A new love, a secret sister, and a summer she’ll never forget. When Abby signs up for a DNA service, it’s mainly to give her friend and secret love interest, Leo, a nudge. After all, she knows who she is already: Avid photographer. Injury-prone tree…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books Written Before I Was Born
Hello, everyone, happy February! Today is the first TTT of the month. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl and where there is a topic and you make a list that best fits it. Today’s topic is Books Written Before I was Born (suggested by Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog). I’ll admit, finding books that were written before I was born proved to be more challenging than I thought. I also added in the factor of finding books that I’ve read. Nevertheless, I ended up finding a good amount of books written before I was born. Little Women…
