★★★★★ For the record, this book gets the blog's first's five stars. And it's well deserved! I started reading this a few months ago, but was unable to get past chapter 3 for many reasons. Primarily, I was not in the mood for grumpy, old Ove and what he has to offer, so I decided… Continue reading A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

In Summary: My October 2021 Reads
Oh, October. I'm not sure how to describe you, but I'm just happy that my month has been filled with new, engaging, and memorable reads. I wish I could have read more and written more reviews, but it's still a very productive month on the overall. I have been through a lot of difficult things… Continue reading In Summary: My October 2021 Reads
Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
★★★★ We are back with another book review. This time it's Ali Hazelwood's Love Hypothesis. I believe this is her debut novel and it's relatively new, considering it was released a little over a month ago. On the overall, I like the novel. As a graduate student myself (though not Ph.D., and the possibility of… Continue reading Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
[October 27, 2021] Book Haul
It's been a while since my last upload, but no worries, this bibliophile is never forgetting to scour bookstores for amazing new titles. 🙂 If there's some sort of job related to book hunting, I might as well have it with whatever skills I try to employ every time I visit bookstores, haha I don't… Continue reading [October 27, 2021] Book Haul
🍂 [October 19, 2021] autumn foliage stack 🍂
I hope this is not a little too late for autumn. 🍂 Unfortunately, I'm not on the part of the globe where this oh-so-beautiful season exists, but it remains to be my absolute favorite. I've had the pleasure of experiencing autumn for the first time a few years ago during my stay in majestic Japan,… Continue reading 🍂 [October 19, 2021] autumn foliage stack 🍂
To Sir, With Love by Lauren Layne
★★★★ Before I go into the details of this book, let me just say that, for me, this one wins in terms of humorous, witty banter and has the kilig factor I often enjoy in romcom novels. It is my first time reading a book by author Lauren Layne, and it's like discovering hidden treasure… Continue reading To Sir, With Love by Lauren Layne
Just His Secretary (Southern Roots Sweet RomCom, #1) by Donna Jeffries
★★★ When I was reading Emma St. Clair's Love Clichés series, this book by Donna Jeffries just kept coming up. It's probably because there's a similarity in plot somewhere, so automatically this makes my TBR list. The book synopsis was also intriguing--hinting at a workplace romance between two very different people whose circumstances require a… Continue reading Just His Secretary (Southern Roots Sweet RomCom, #1) by Donna Jeffries
Knocked Up By The A List by B Prince, Anastasia Slash
★★ Hey, reader. I hope all is well with you. ❤ Things are a little overwhelming on my end, hence the lack of new book reviews. But rest assured, this bibliophile still manages to sneak a bit of reading time every single day. Lately, my reading time would equate to my relaxing/quiet time, so it's… Continue reading Knocked Up By The A List by B Prince, Anastasia Slash
How To Stop Feeling Like Shit by Andrea Owen
★★★★ Once in a while I'll pop in with these non-fiction book reviews, because we can't all always live in fiction, right? Most of my non-fiction books are self-help books, and I always try to incorporate whatever takeaways I get from the books with my podcast channel (Kristine's Voice: The Podcast). Oh, the podcast is… Continue reading How To Stop Feeling Like Shit by Andrea Owen
Heartstopper (Volumes 1 to 4) by Alice Oseman
★★★★★ Okay.. This will not be a long review, and we are venturing on a comic novel series--a very good one at that--by author Alice Oseman. If you haven't heard of her or any of her works, now would be a good time to start moving those fingers and type her name on your best… Continue reading Heartstopper (Volumes 1 to 4) by Alice Oseman
