This is the month of reading popular books it seems. Or the month of reading romances. I suppose that probably should’ve been last month but…*shrugs* It took me less than 48 hours to read The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood (published by Berkley), a new-adult romance with the fake dating trope. *swoons* Olive needs to…… Continue reading Book Review: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood (JOVE: Berkley)

Bookish Playlist: Friends to Lovers
Another day, another playlist. Though I know some think of friends to lovers as a boring trope, I’ve always thought it was cute. As a kid, I wished I lived next door to a cute boy my age that I could be friends with and eventually fall in love.

My Fictional Bucket List
I live vicariously through fictional characters. But, these are all things I would do if I could. Ride in the Impala with Sam and Dean from Supernatural.

Book vs Movie: The Hunger Games

One trilogy that swept popular culture was The Hunger Games and I was obsessed, to the point I tweeted countdown quotes…… Continue reading Book vs Movie: The Hunger Games
Do YA books have merit?
Yes. In my opinion, they do. I think reading is reading and you shouldn’t be ashamed for liking what you like. However, some people think otherwise. Some people “hmm” and “haw” at the idea of reading young adult or “teen” novels. They think that it is not as sophisticated as classics or nonfiction books.

Book Quotes
Over the past decade or so, I’ve been trying to jot down the best quotes from the books I read–quotes that take my breath away. I forget to write these down a lot, but I have collected quite a few. Recently I uncovered the notebook I had kept these quotes in and wanted to share…… Continue reading Book Quotes
