Illumicrate Monthly Subscription Box: May 2024 Unboxing
Another extremely late unboxing. If you’ve read my last Illumicrate blog post, then you’ll know why this is incredibly late. If you haven’t then this is the reason: I had to reorganise and reschedule some blog posts to make way for some other preferred posts. So, all of my Illumicrate posts ended up being pushedContinueContinue reading “Illumicrate Monthly Subscription Box: May 2024 Unboxing”
Book Review: Spin The Dawn by Elizabeth Lim

So, after years of having Spin The Dawn on my TBR list, I finally got around to reading it. So, here is my review:ContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Spin The Dawn by Elizabeth Lim”
Book Review: The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea by Axie Oh
I have been obsessed with retellings lately! I’ve had The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea on my TBR list for a few years now, so I’m glad I was finally able to get a copy from the library.

Book Review: Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel
This is a novel I had sitting on my physical TBR shelf ever since it was published! I kept putting it off to the point that the pages started to yellow because it had been so long (and because my TBR shelf is close to a window, so it got plenty of unnecessary sunshine). I’mContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel”

Let’s Talk About Kiersten White’s The Guinevere Deception Trilogy
This has been a trilogy I have been absolutely loving for the past few years.

Book Review: The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White
★★★★★ “While I saw the destruction of the tree as nature’s beauty, Victor saw power—power to light up the night and banish darkness, power to end a centuries-old life in a single strike—that he cannot control or access. And nothing bothers Victor more than something he cannot control.”The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein I thinkContinueContinue reading “Book Review: The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White”
Book Review: Circe by Madeline Miller
“That is one thing gods and mortals share. When we are young, we think ourselves the first to have each feeling in the world.” I went through a stage where I wanted to read anything that reminded me of Percy Jackson, or anything that related to Greek Mythology. I grew up reading and loving PercyContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Circe by Madeline Miller”
