The Last 10 Books I DNF’d [TTT]

The topic this week is pretty straightforward. I have no qualms about DNFing a book. However, I’ve also become much better at selecting the books I read since I started book blogging, so it’s uncommon for me to DNF. (I also only mark a book as DNF if I read at least 10% or so, otherwise I just remove it from my TBR and don’t update the status.) I think […]

6 Books by Asian American & Asian Canadian Authors I Enjoyed But Rarely Talk About [TTT]

My topic is books I own but haven’t read yet. Unless a book is a new release that I’m really keen on, I find it hard to prioritize books I own. After all, they’re not […]

Favourite Books Released In the Last Ten Years [TTT]

The prompt for this week is choosing the best book from each year of the previous decade. This was a fun way to review what I’ve read in the past 10 years (!). Pulling together the list took a lot longer than I expected. I need to go to bed now because I am going to the dentist at 7:30AM…so I’m going to publish this post with no formatting apart […]
