I was so excited to read this book because it is an own voices book written by a biracial Filipino American woman. As some of you may know, I too am a biracial Filipino American woman. I knew I had to read this book because representation matters!

All in all, I found this to be a cute romance.

This was a really fascinating book. It combined pre-WWII and WWII historical fiction with the cut throat world of haute couture fashion. It took me a little longer to get interested in it, but once I was, I was hooked!

This was such a cute and sexy, but still very sweet romance!

Marin and Brad were such a cute couple. I loved their dynamic, especially how they brought out the best in each other and encouraged one another. That‘s #RelationshipGoals.

Too messy in the first half to be fully enjoyable. Could have been significantly shorter. Great premise though.

Not as good as Conversations with Friends but that's just because Conversations with Friends is one of my all time favorite books. Ending fell flat for me. But I would still recommend it.

Totally messed up when I posted my review of this book. I posted it as a blurb and not a review 🤦🏻‍♀️

A beautiful collection of romantic poetry. I had so many favorites.

Overall, this is a powerful book. It touches upon many themes such as family, faith, and life behind bars. Thank you Alice for sharing your story with the world and inspiring others. Also, kudos to Kim Kardashian West for her role in helping free Alice. Kim gets a lot of hate for various things but you can‘t deny her role in this.

This was a very emotional collection of poetry that centers on the 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

I recommend this book for young readers who love fantasy or want to get more into reading. This book has enough action, mystery, and magic to keep them entertained. Plus it‘s the first book in a series!

An beautiful graphic novel that‘s a loose reimagining of Elizabeth I and her sister Mary. The art was stunning. My only complaint was that the ending was lackluster. I wanted more!

This book was super cute and I liked that it included some Filipino representation and that it touched upon the casual racism that Asians face. Full review on my blog: https://wp.me/p9zANx-kY

This is such a wonderful collection! Her poetry is so beautiful and I loved the sea/ocean/water theme. I had so many favorites. Full review on my blog: oddandbookish.wordpress.com

I loved the aesthetic and the diversity (queer POC witches for the win!) but ultimately failed to deliver. There were too many POV changes and the storyline was boring. Full review on my blog: https://wp.me/p9zANx-kl

A unique poetry collection. Loved the themes. Just wish it were a bit longer. Full review on my blog: oddandbookish.wordpress.com

Wonderful debut novel. Loved how the stories were woven together and how the secrets unraveled. Full review on my blog: oddandbookish.wordpress.com

Since this was a novella, it was pretty short and that was my main issue with it. The whole romance happened at lightning speed so it felt rushed. This would have been better as an actual novel so that the feelings and emotions could develop more fully.

But for what it was, it wasn‘t that bad. It‘s a quick holiday romance that‘s short and sweet with a little bit of holiday spice.

A wonderful holiday themed romance. Grant was super swoon worthy. Full review on my blog: oddandbookish.wordpress.com

I liked this book but I didn‘t fall completely in love with it. It was just missing that special something for me. Full review on my blog: oddandbookish.wordpress.com

Got off to a slow start but once the main character went to France it was magnifique! Full review on my blog: oddandbookish.wordpress.com

A quick and fun read written by a real life singer. The execution wasn‘t great but it still had a good message. Full review on my blog: oddandbookish.wordpress.com

Great setting and villain, but the story left much to be desired. Full review is on my blog.

This is was such a good retelling of Mulan! It hit all the marks. The author did a great job. Full review on my blog: oddandbookish.wordpress.com

There were some things I liked (the entire first section, the illustrations, the playlist) and some things I didn‘t (the entire second section). It‘s a very unique book so I still think it‘s a worth a read. Full review is on my blog.
