Alone Forever: The Singles Collection by Liz Price

by Leave a Comment

So, I have read everything (I think) Liz Price has written except for the Clarence comic (no idea who that is), Rocko’s Modern Life Volume 2 (no interest in it at all),  Science Comics: Frogs: Awesome Amphibians (but plan on it and hopefully soon as I think it is a cool subject) and  Adventure Time Compendium Vol. 1 (seriously no interest at all). Oh, also anything in Spanish like Tomboy.  Or at least I have read what I can find via my store’s search engine.  […]

The True Love Experience by Christina Lauren

by 2 Comments

StoryGraph Easy Reading Challenge 25: A book with two authors Felicity “Fizzy” Chen loves her life and career as a romance writer. The problem is that she’s suffering from a bad case of writers’ block, and when she’s asked about her personal life in interviews or author panels, it’s not like she can confess to never actually having been in love, right? A romance writer should surely have experienced romantic love at some point? With all of her friends happily coupled up, she’s also getting […]

He thought his girlfriend kept him grounded, but he got a shock one night

Static Up All Night (volume 1) by Lamar Giles

by Leave a Comment

Static Up All Night (volume 1) by Lamar Giles and illustrated by Paris Alleyne is a nice teen superhero story.  Our main character, Virgil, is trying to balance a normal life and being a superhero. Set in the DC universe, we have mutant humans (mostly still looking human) that were created by a supposedly safe gas. Afterwards, those who made it were given some sort of powers (one girl hasn’t slept literally since it happened, so she has time to study, do multiple jobs, and […]

The rom-com romp

Lunar New Year Love Story by Gene Luen Yang

by Leave a Comment

I was hesitant to start Lunar New Year Love Story for a few reasons: I am not a romance reader; I thought the use of Leuyen Pham as the illustrator was an odd choice; and as I like Gene Luen Yang, would I build this book up too much and it would not live up to my hype?  Well, I am still not a romance reader and the arc was not how I run my romance life, but it was fun and heartwarming. (Granted if […]

A romantic memoir about the idea of love

The Visitor (The One #5) by Dodai Stewart

by 2 Comments

“The Visitor” is a true story from journalist Dodai Stewart. On NYE, I stumbled upon it looking for something quick to hit my book goal. Once I began, I realized I’d rather savor it. I finished the audiobook while walking my pup on New Year’s Day. The story is a poignant musing on the idea of love. She explains how she grew up in New York. She loves how cinematic living in the city can be. Everything seems full of promise and glamor, especially when […]

Fangs by Sarah Andersen

by Leave a Comment

There have been several coincidences lately. The most recent is I just found my Sarah’s Scribbles books by Sarah Andersen, then a few days later I found Fangs by them. Now that might not seem like a big deal, but I had not even thought about Andersen’s books in months (though I do have her weekly planner), and here I am getting bombarded by their wonderful work. I have not felt well for a few days (just the “summer blues” not due to sickness), but […]
