Why you should read The Henna Wars, by Adiba Jaigirdar

Published on June 22, 2021June 22, 2021 by Aria7 Comments

Hi!! I went camping with my family and some friends for a few days over the weekend, which was really fun. It was pretty foggy, and a little rainy for a lot of it, but I still had a really good time. It’s nice to be back home though, and I have a post that I’m very excited for today!

When I first read The Henna Wars, over a year ago, it immediately became one of my favorite books! The Henna Wars has amazing LGBTQ+ representation, and because it’s pride month, I thought I’d write a post on why I think you should read The Henna Wars, by Adiba Jaigirdar.

Let’s Talk Bookish: appreciation for book bloggers!

Published on June 18, 2021June 19, 2021 by Aria9 Comments

Hello, and happy Friday!! I haven’t posted all week, but I’ve had a lot going on. Thursday was my last day of 8th grade, and it was graduation which means that I am completely done with middle school! I’m really excited, and also kind of nervous because I’ll be starting high school in the fall. I am really excited for summer though, and I’ll hopefully be able to do more blogging without school getting in the way!!

Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly discussion post created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and is hosted by Rukky and Dani @ A Literary Lion! For this week’s topic, I’m going to talk about appreciation for book bloggers!

Nine amazing books by Asian authors

Published on June 13, 2021June 13, 2021 by Aria17 Comments

Hello! Today, I have a post I’ve been working on for a while! Here, I have nine books by Asian authors that I loved reading, and will always recommend to people. I’ve read most of these in the last year, as I’ve been trying to read more diverse books, and I’ve discovered many amazing books and authors. Because it’s Pride month, I also wanted to include books with LGBTQ+ representation, and I’ve marked those with a rainbow! 🌈

And, with that, I’m going to get right into the post!

Published on May 31, 2021May 31, 2021 by Aria5 Comments

Hello! I can’t believe that it’s already the last day of May, but I’m so excited for June. I’m going to finish 8th grade in a couple weeks (which means I’ll start high school in the fall, which I’m not at all ready for), and I’m really excited for summer. There are a ton of amazing books coming out in June, and I am incredibly lucky to have been able to read an advance copy of one, Instructions for Dancing, by Nicola Yoon. I read Nicola Yoon’s other two books years ago, and was thrilled to find out that there was another coming out!

Published on May 27, 2021 by Aria5 Comments

Hello! I hope that the end of May is going well for you. For me it feels like the year is really flying by, and I can’t believe that it’s already almost June! Because June is Pride month, I have made a list of eleven books with LGBTQ+ characters and representation that I’m planning on reading! A couple are rereads, but most are new to me, although I’ve heard amazing things about every single one. I have a lot of different books, from contemporary to fantasy to even a graphic novel, and I’m going to do my best to read them all in the next month!
