I’ve been notoriously bad at these (as in, I never stay on top of them), so here’s my wrap-up.
Welcome to my blog, which is a quick trip inside of my mind. I write about the books I love, the places I’ve been, the music I’ve found, and the thoughts I’ve had along the way. Hope you enjoy!
I was very lucky to receive the eARC of Naturally Tan from Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press in exchange for my honest review. I love Queer Eye, and I was very intrigued about Tan’s book, especially as he is one of the few prominent South Asian figures, and the only openly gay South Asian (that I know of).
I was very lucky to be sent the eARC of Again, but Better by Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press; this was a release I have been highly anticipating. That being said, let me start out with: I really, really, really wanted to like this book. Sadly, Again, but Better, didn’t live up to my expectations.
During winter, I tend to listen to acoustic songs, along with a mix of soft/indie pop. I generally need songs that make me feel things; for some reason, the cold winter air makes me crave to be able to connect with singers and their lyrics. This playlist, for me, is the embodiment of that. These are the songs I need when I sip my morning coffee, or what I listen to while I’m watching the lines on the street blur at night.
In the finale to the Throne of Glass series, Maas concludes with a tale of epic proportions, filled with battles waged on a scale unparalleled to the rest of the series. Needless to say, a lot needed to happen in this book. I had a lot of conflicting thoughts about this book, but let me preface my thoughts by saying: I enjoyed this reading experience. Overall, I liked the book. I didn’t love it, as I did with Empire of Storms.
Here are some of my favorite Instagram pages I've seen, inspired by the videos I've seen of Deepica Mutyala, a Youtube beauty guru who speaks Telugu. Soon after I started watching her videos, I found the company she started - and discovered the brown niche community of Instagram.
