Book Review: Anna K: A Love Story by Jenny Lee
This is a novel that I found through social media and I was intrigued by the mention that this novel’s plot is Crazy Rich Asians meets Gossip Girl. Both Crazy Rich Asians and Gossip Girl were media that I enjoyed (especially the Crazy Rich Asians film!). So, I was intrigued. This novel was on myContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Anna K: A Love Story by Jenny Lee”
Book Review: King of Greed by Ana Huang
Romance novels have been EVERYWHERE these last few years. I do read some romance novels every now and then but I generally prefer fantasy or mystery novels. So, I don’t often reach out for a romance. However, I have a friend who has read plenty of Ana Huang’s novels, so when I saw King ofContinueContinue reading “Book Review: King of Greed by Ana Huang”
Book Review: Custody by Manju Kapur
So, if you’re Indian and/or if you have ever watched Star Plus then you may be familiar with this novel already. Yeh Hai Mohabbatein (trans.

Celebrity Book Review: Harry Styles’ Recommendation: Three Women by Lisa Taddeo
So, this novel is actually recommended by Harry Styles AND Dua Lipa! While I originally discovered this novel by looking into what Harry Styles recommends, Dua Lipa interviewed the author on her podcast At Your Service (note that it is an old episode. I’ve been listening to Dua Lipa’s podcast every now and then andContinueContinue reading “Celebrity Book Review: Harry Styles’ Recommendation: Three Women by Lisa Taddeo”
Book Review: All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir
Sabaa Tahir was an author I had heard of, however, I never actually picked up any of her books until now. My TBR list is so long and ever-growing that it, evidently, took a while before I picked up one of her novels. Now that I have read one of her novels, I am soContinueContinue reading “Book Review: All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir”

Celebrity Book Review: Lorde’s Recommendation: The Years by Annie Eranux (trans. Alison L. Strayer)
Lorde’s music was the soundtrack of my teenage angst years, especially Pure Heroine and Melodrama. So, of course, when I was drafting my list of which celebrities I should talk about for my “Celebrity Book Review” series, Lorde’s name was one of the first I wrote down. Unlike Dua Lipa and RM (from BTS), IContinueContinue reading “Celebrity Book Review: Lorde’s Recommendation: The Years by Annie Eranux (trans. Alison L. Strayer)”
Book Review: Shuggie Bian by Douglas Stuart
I’ve been subscribed to Dua Lipa’s Service 95 newsletter since it started and I have been listening (irregularly) to her At Your Service podcast. I mention Dua Lipa because her newsletter and podcast helped me discover this novel. I don’t actively pay attention to novels which win awards, however, I was curious when I learnedContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Shuggie Bian by Douglas Stuart”
