After finishing K-Pop Confidential I knew I wanted to read K-Pop Revolution soon. Luckily, it was already out and I found the audiobook on Scribd. Double win! At the end of the first book, the line-up for the new girl group was announced and Candance made the cut. But her revelations changed the plan of Read More

Review: K-pop Confidential by Stephan Lee
K-pop is booming. The pop bands from Korea are finally taking over the world, so it was to be expected it would find its way into other pop culture as well. K-pop Confidential is one of the first wave of K-pop books and I really wanted to read this (and all of the others) as Read More
Review: From Little Tokyo With Love by Sarah Kuhn
I picked up From Little Tokyo, With Love on a whim. I wanted something light and fun and contemporary romance never lets me down. Rika and Hank are the couple, a waitress and an actor. You immediately get Cinderella vibes with two cousins, and not one, but two aunties. Let’s also throw in some princess Read More
Review: Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
I added Black Water Sister by Zen Cho immediately to my TBR once she announced it on her Twitter. The blurb blew me away and gave me all the feels. While I might not be the daughter of immigrant parents from Malaysia, I am the daughter of a man who escaped the blazing Indonesian weather. Read More
Book Tour: Instructions For Dancing – Nicola Yoon
Thank you to The Write Reads and the publisher Penguin for the arc. Once upon a time, I had ballroom dancing lessons, so when I read the blurb for Instructions For Dancing by Nicola Yoon, I was sold immediately.

Thank you to The Write Reads and the publisher for the free copy in exchange for a review as part of the blog tour. I watched Love, Simon a bunch of times already and I know I’ll watch it a few times more. But that was all I knew from Becky Albertalli. Now, movies don’t Read More
Review: Before The Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Yawaguchi
My interest in Japan has never been a secret. So last year my sister in law and mother in law surprised me with a Japanese book they gave me for Sinterklaas. Before The Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Yawaguchi is a cute contemporary time travel novel. Not too long, but just long enough. It shares Read More
Review: Sanctuary by V.V. James
When I heard Victoria James was going to write a book about witches, I knew I had to have it. I love witchy book and I’ve fallen in love with her writing. Definitely a good match. But once I started reading, I felt incredibly uncomfortable. Sanctuary is very much a book about women. The story Read More
Support Your Favourite Writer!
Last week, I gave a shout out to artists. This week I want to highlight some authors who have new books coming out soon but had their launch-related events cancelled. This will be a weird mix of genres and authors but do consider pre-ordering or buying a book later to support them. Check your local Read More
Book tour: Rise of Gaia by Kristin Ward
I read Rise of Gaia by Kristin Ward for a book tour hosted by The Write Reads. Dave provided a free copy of the book for an honest review and I couldn’t be more excited. You might remember I reviewed another of Kristin’s books last year and it didn’t click. But this one very much Read More
