  • My Thoughts on 37 Days at Sea

    Hello and happy Sunday. I’m still trying to organize my post scheduling since I was gone for about twenty days but kept reading. I have some ideas that have accumulated from before but also during my Eurotrip, so I have to sit down and figure out what to post when. That being said, today I’m…

  • NetGalley Review of Griftopia by Suzy Vitello

    I started this book while on a thirteen-hour flight home from Istanbul, after finishing one novel and DNFing another one. I guess what kept me reading was how absurd it was, and how it gave me Arrested Development vibes. Mind you, it wasn’t intentionally funny, like the show was, and it was very politically weighted…

  • Books I Finished Last Month

    Hello and happy Sunday. Have I told you that monthly wrap-ups are probably my favorite posts to write? They usually are an opportunity to brag, and if not, at least they’re a chance to think about the books I read and to relive what I did earlier in the month. Here’s the monthly wrap-up we…

  • My Thoughts on The Mother-Daughter Book Club

    Hello and happy Sunday. A couple of months ago, I compiled this end-of-year TBR list, which isn’t really meant for the end of the year, but rather the end of my reading challenge as I approach completion way before the deadline. I’ve made decent progress on it, considering that I’ve crossed out nine out of…

  • My Thoughts on Love, Stargirl

    Hello and happy Saturday. I remember reading Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli when I was in eighth grade and thinking what a stupid little book it was. I remember rereading it a few years ago, either in my late twenties or early thirties, and thinking it wasn’t as stupid as I’d deemed it when I was…

  • My Thoughts on Indian Shoes

    Hello and happy Sunday. Every once in a while I need either a palate-cleanser read or a short, quick one. When I do, I like to reach for middle grade books because they usually don’t require many brain cells. This is the case of Indian Shoes by Cynthia Leitich Smith. Now, I don’t know whether…

  • My Thoughts on Clap When You Land

    Hello and happy Saturday. Tomorrow I’m leaving for Europe and I’m kind of freaking out. You’re seeing this months later, and you’ll get some content about that trip, namely the books I read and/or bought there. I think that Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo would be a great airport/flight book because even though…

  • Quotes I Loved from Writers and Lovers

    Hello and happy Sunday. Based on yesterday’s review, we all know how I feel about Writers and Lovers by Lily King. This post is an addition to that review, with quotes I highlighted, took screenshots of and read out loud to a coworker. That’s how into this book I was. Okay, here are the quotes.…

  • My Thoughts on Writers & Lovers

    Hello and happy Saturday. It fills me with joy when I’m having a great reading streak, more so in terms of the quality of the books I’m reading rather than the number, although I must say that the latter tends to depend on the former. Last week I told you about Bear by Julia Phillips…

  • My Thoughts on Bear

    Hello and happy Sunday. I feel like I haven’t written a review in months because the books I’ve finished lately have been in Spanish, and I read those with my heart. This means that I don’t review them. I’ll tell you, though, that during all of last weekend Bear by Julia Phillips had me in…
