House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig Book Review

My rating for this book: 4/5 I expected this story to be full of magic and mystery and misery but I didn’t expect to be that horrifying. It was a good thing that I read most of the chapters in my office because of the noise background. If I read it in my room, I…

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon (Book Review)

I imagine myself to read thick books or door stopper books one day and this day finally came. Though there were other thick books before this but this one catches my attention because of the cover with the dragon and the tower and its color scheme. I take this book as my holy week read…

American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins (Book Review)

I don’t know where to start. I still feel hazy from the book but my God, I have no idea that this story grips me that I don’t want to put it down even though my eyes are about to close but my mind is still reeling from each chapter of the book. I couldn’t…

Breathless by Jennifer Niven (Book Review)

I read the news that it’s not yet summer but why do I feel like I’m living in hell? For me, when it’s close to April and I can already feel the heat, it’s summer. This book is the perfect time because the main character is away for vacation, away from the pain and heartbreak…

Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman by Haruki Murakami

I can make this a habit that I will read Murakami’s book every month because really, I need an escape from reality sometimes. The books that I have are similar, but Murakami brings me comfort and realize that in his story, there’s meaning to it, and it’s kind of sad. Synopsis: Collection of twenty-four stories…

The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn (Book Review)

Another round of mystery but this time it’s that witness seeing another murdered victim and police not believing one bit. Well, this mystery novel ends up being not believable like in the back of my mind, I was like: what the hell just happened? Synopsis Anna Fox lives alone--a recluse in her New York City…

Sadie by Courtney Summers (Book Review)

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD If I could just go back in time, I would read this book like it’s the first time. This book broke me but not in an emotional state but in a disturbed way. Synopsis: A missing girl on a journey of revenge. A Serial―like podcast following the clues she's left behind. And an…

Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney (Book Review)

I have shifted from fantasy to contemporary in just short span of 2 weeks and it comes out a breath of fresh air, a different air that puts me in a different surrounding. This book though takes me back to Dublin where complex is the new norm and quotation marks are nonexistent. Synopsis: Frances is…

An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson (Book Review)

I have been changing from on genre to another in a span of one month but that’s fine for me as long as it eases my stress away or rather keeping me sane from reality. So, the next book is a journey where a painter and the prince had to face monsters and emotionless faeries…

Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Wen (Book Review)

I’m sucker for books with beautiful illustrations as their covers, as faces is an exception as long as they capture my eyes. This book I’m about to review is one of them and little do I realized is that it sets in Taiwan and the characters are fresh out from high school and are bound…
