Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry Book Review

April 2025 Recap!
Hi Readers! Another month gone by swiftly. It was a gruelling one, with too many unknowns. There wasn’t a lot happening on the surface, but deep down, it was a Tsunami. But, I feel like you always need months like that to shake your entire belief system, make you...
Book Recommendation: Counterattacks at Thirty!
Hi Readers! I recently read Counterattacks at Thirty by Sohn won-pyung, translated from Korean by Sean Lin Halbert. I had read the author’s debut novel Almond last year and really liked it.

Intermezzo: Sally Rooney’s Best Novel Yet!
Hi Readers! Here’s the first book review of 2025! I have read Sally Rooney’s books before, and have never liked them. I thought Normal People was far too removed from reality and also quite pretentious. I DNFed both Conversations with Friends and Beautiful World, Where Are You? because the...
