The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan || Taiwanese Culture + Gorgeous Writing

I picked this up because I’d heard good things from so many people, but I thought meh … and guys, I WAS SO WRONG. I’ll admit, meh is probably not a good attitude to have going into a book, but I’m only human. Mostly. For now. I was totally not prepared for how much I […]

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry by Fredrik Backman || My New Favorite Book

Scythe by Neal Shusterman || Immortality But Also Humanity’s Probable Demise

I had so many people recommend I read this that I really couldn’t put it off anymore. Well, I mean, I suppose I could, but these people are writers and readers, which means not only are they creative, but they probably already know the best ways to make me disappear and get away with it, so […]
