This has been on my TBR and Netgalley backlog for such a long time, so I'm glad I finally got around to reading (and finishing it). I'm not sure how to feel now that I've read it though... This book presents three powerful stories of family life from the first decade of Tanizaki’s career that... Continue Reading →
Netgalley Check-In #9
It's been about 6 months now since my last Netgalley check-in (WHAT), and since I'm so close to that 70% goal, I thought I'd make another update. I know! 6 months and not even a 3% increase?! This year's been HARD. At least in terms of my reading goals. I had a feeling it wouldn't... Continue Reading →
reading: Radio Storm (v1) by Team S&S
I've been really dedicated to improving my Netgalley score this past week, and today I'd like to introduce you all to the book that helped me finally tip into the 69% bracket. Supposedly, it's only going to take me a handful of titles to get to 70% so maybe I'll pick up a few more... Continue Reading →
Did you read before you were 10?
A few weeks back, a book blogger I follow shared a link to an article titled ‘It’s so boring’: gen Z parents don’t like reading to their kids – and educators are worried, which, as the title suggests, talks about the decline of reading time parents dedicate to their kids. A few days later, the... Continue Reading →
WWW Wednesday (6.25.25/#3)
I finally made another Wednesday! Actually, I've been reading quite a bit so I feel confident while writing today's WWW. Also, to the person who has come back to my blog repeatedly, thanks. I just saw my stats and was like...who is lurking in the shadows, LOL. Did you stick to your last WWW forecast?... Continue Reading →
reading: Raised by Ghosts by Briana Loewinsohn
With this book, my Netgalley score is almost at what it was before! Set in the author’s own teenage years, Raised By Ghosts begins in 1991 with semi autobiographical Briana in middle school. Classes are a bummer, but lunches are worse; either spent alone, or being teased. Traditionally a good student, Briana is not doing well in... Continue Reading →
reading: Soma by Fernando Llor and Charles Dalmau
I logged into my Netgalley account over the weekend (for some reason) and realized my score had Dropped. Not by much, but enough for me to think, "Hey, I should get some of these books off my shelf!". Luckily, I have a renewed library card to help me on my quest because many of the... Continue Reading →
reading: A Vampire in the Bathhouse by Niko Izuki
Remember that I mentioned I would be back with some manga reviews? WELL, it's finally time to post my first. And what better month than May, when we celebrate (at least in the US) all things "motherly" (yay to the moms but also shoutout to all the people who are caretakers). Luka Edelmondt Finsternis is...
