Station Eleven Review

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD! My book rating: 4/5 My reading list this year is more of a backlist of books or I wished that I read them back 7 years ago. One of them is a book that I was supposed to read when I moved here from my hometown and it was to be my first…

The Devil All the Time Review

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD! My book rating: 5/5 It was another day mindlessly scrolling my Goodreads and reading and adding which books to read into my list and then I found this title and I remembered that this was adapted to a movie. Then I also remembered it was that movie that gave me the creeps.…

Merry Christmas again! This is my first manga review and it's also perfect for Christmas because this also takes place in Christmas and all the characters are gay and sad but in the end they are in love! Anyway, I have been reading BL manga lately because, as I have been feeling lately, I'm bored…

Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh Book Review

Merry Christmas! This is my first book review this year. Been procrastinating and busy with other stuff. Enjoy reading this nice Christmas novel! Before, I never read these kinds of books. They show a gloomy surrounding, the main character being an outcast to the point that she shuts herself from the outside world, and a…

I Hope You Get This Message by Farah Naz Rishi Book Review

My book rating: 3/5 TW: suicidal thoughts (in the past), mental health issues Everytime I read the plot of the book about end of the world, I think of sci-fi and talk about aliens and space. But this book, I had a bit of high expectations for this book. It comes first about space but…

Yolk by Mary H.K. Choi Book Review

My book rating: 4/5 This book gives good timings in a weird way. First, one of the main character’s name is the same name of the month, June. Second, her family gathering has a similar way to mine but with different traditions or culture. Then third, the last part surprises me but I’ll explain it…

After Dark by Haruki Murakami Book Review

My book rating: 3.5/5 Another book from Haruki Murakami and this time it’s as random as I expect it to be. I know that based from the title itself, it’s going to be another magic realism but this one sets in one night where the dark “creatures” linger around night time. The story followed by…

You Have a Match by Emma Lord (Book Review)

My book rating: 3.5/5 Another feel good summer read where I wish going anywhere is as safe as before. And also cheap-friendly. It is also a good thing that I read her debut novel because I can see her style in writing of her story and her characters, and also the use of social media…

Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano Book Review

My book rating: 4/5 It’s a rare for me to cry over books and it takes me a few days to finish it but this one though, I thought it would make me cry but I feel different. It feels like a settled grief where I feel the main character and how it is hard…

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow Book Review

My book rating: 3.5/5 I’m still kind of a sucker for books with beautiful covers but this book not only its cover caught my attention, I’m also intrigued by the story itself like why are there ten thousand doors and who’s January? Or did it happen in January? And just like that my curiosity get…
