Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows

The first thing that caught my eye about this novel was the title…because obviously. Haha. Then, after reading the description and realizing the title is literally what the book is about, I was really just beyond intrigued. Since I first saw it, the book has gotten much more popular, especially after it was chosen by…

Station Eleven

This one has been on my list longer than I care to admit, considering that I just now have gotten around to it. And I mean, it’s not like I’m not reading books as fast as possible over here, but I still have to say, I regret it taking so long to get to this…

Home Fire

This one has been on my TBR for a little while now. I’ve seen great reviews and had it personally recommended, but of course (as things go) it took something else to tip the scale for me. That tip came when it won this year’s Women’s Prize for Fiction. I knew I couldn’t put it…

I’ll Give You the Sun

I’ve had this book on my TBR for some time, and had heard nothing but great reviews of it. Then, about two weeks after I found it at used bookstore (and decided to grab it), it was chosen as the June book for my long distance book club. Sometimes, timing is everything. I'll Give You…

Confessions of the Fox

The first time I saw this available on NetGalley, I clicked right past it. The blurb sounded intriguing (I do love stories about the “underbelly” of society) but I try to only request from NetGalley when something truly strikes me, so that my TBR there doesn’t get too backed up. However, right after that, I…

The Poppy War

For having just come out a couple months ago, this book made its appearance swiftly and surely. Which, to be honest, fits perfectly with the story itself. In any case, after seeing these great reviews, I read the synopsis and it was all over for me. An epic, sweeping fantasy with a “started from the…

Kindred

As I have mentioned before, I’m trying to read books from a more representative range of authors this year. I have always read more female authors than male…I just have always gravitated that way. But I realized that I was not doing as well reading books from a variety of racial, ethnic, sexuality, etc. authors.…

Radio Silence

This is a bit of a lesser known title, which it a bit out of the ordinary for me of late. I’ve really been more on the “popular new books” train, but everything needs a little shake-up once in awhile. Also, I saw someone on bookstagram mention that this was life-changing for them, though unfortunately…

Small Country

I first saw this book on @bookworm_man’s IG – a source I definitely trust for books. He had nothing but good things to say about it, so I knew, when I saw it as an option on First to Read, that I wanted it. Small Country by Gaël Faye “Genocide is an oil slick: those…

When Katie Met Cassidy

I have seen lots of people talking about this recent release and it seemed like a lovely summer romance (which I’ve been really into lately). And bonus, this is a popular, big publisher summer romance with REPRESENTATION (sexually, anyways). That’s right, this is a f/f romance novel. Published right in line with Pride Month. Lovely.…
