Book review: Untamed by Glennon Doyle
The audiobook, also available in paperback, hardcover, or Kindle versions on Amazon, is narrated by the author herself. However, the editor should’ve mentioned to her how inconsistent of a narrator she is by shooting herself in the foot when she admits not knowing whether what she had previously written in books about her life is Continue reading

Book review: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
The audiobook, also available in paperback, hardcover, or Kindle versions on Amazon or your local library, is narrated by the author herself, adding to the audiobook’s personal aspect. Based on Cassie Phillip’s Let Them and Let Me poems, Robbins turned the book into a “theory” and mass-marketed it. Every serious reader must consider whether Robbins… Continue reading

Book review: The Rainfall Market by You Yeong-Gwang
Yeong-Gwang’s debut novel is bursting with magical realism, a thought-provoking, feel-good storyline, a light touch of fantasy, and a cast of fun characters, including a magical, size-changing spirit guide cat named Issha, who behaves more like a puppy. Honestly, the cat was the most heartfelt, genuine character. The simplistic writing, perhaps attributed to a poor… Continue reading

Book review: Yours Truly Part of our World #2 by Abby Jimenez
Yours Truly by Jimenez is a perfect fit for fans of tropes, including, but not limited to, office romance, rivals-to-lovers, fake dating, forced proximity, and miscommunication; however, the addressed topics of anxiety, depression, divorce, cheating, sibling with kidney failure doesn’t make for a light, easy, breezy read.

Book review: Wildest Dreams by Meridith Claire
NetGalley provided this ARC in exchange for an honest review. American-born Filipina Mackenzie Almazan and golden Jewish boy Samson Madden have been joined at the hip since she was eight and he ten. Even after the devastating death of her uncle Deano, the man who raised her, it should be the happiest time in Mac’s Continue reading

Book review: The Librarian and the Janitor Dirty Jobs Book 1 by Victoria Silk
This short piece of 40 pages is a quick, erotic read without any character development; therefore, as a reader, if you are looking for such, this novella is not for you. However, this might do the trick if you are looking for a smutty fix. Continue reading

Book Review: Wrong Text, Right Love Against All Odds #1 by Claudia Y. Burgoa
This rom-com, which has an enemies-to-lovers trope, an overly perky female character, and a grumpy borderline recluse male lead, should appeal to Roxie Noir and Lila Monroe fans. Continue reading

Book Review: Priest by Sierra Simone
Most readers would consider this book taboo because of the forbidden aspect Simone bursts wide open; however, the taboos get lost early on, so if this is what attracted you to this book, here is a fair warning: this book might not be for you. However, if you’re a reader looking for pure smut and… Continue reading
