ARC Review: You’ve Reached Sam by Dustin Thao
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
I was expecting myself to be bawling my eyes out when reading this book. I didn’t even shed a single tear. My eyes didn’t even get watery.

ARC Review: Bright Ruined Things by Samantha Cohoe
Rating: ★★★☆☆
This book was quite disappointing.
I haven’t read The Tempest nor googled a summary, so I had absolutely no clue what similarities there are to The Tempest.

Overall series rating: ★★☆☆☆
Reason for reading it: I was never planning to read this series but the Netflix series is out and I want to read the books before I watch it so…

Spoilery Shorts: Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth
Overall series rating: ★★★☆☆
Reason for reading this: I saw the Divergent movie trailer and liked it. I figure I should follow the unwritten rule of reading the book before seeing the movie. I read this when I was in middle school so please don’t judge 😂😂😂


ARC Review: Hush by Dylan Farrow
Rating: ★★★☆☆
This book sounded like it would be a five-star read but unfortunately, it wasn’t.

ARC Review: Rent a Boyfriend by Gloria Chao
Rating: ★★★☆☆
I really enjoyed how authentic this book was. This book included the tone markings with Mandarin words and the author also explained the system and significance of tone markings in the beginning of the book. I have not read many books that include tone markings with mandarin words and explain them. I really liked that it was explained so that readers who don’t understand Mandarin would be able to understand the reason for the tone markings.

Mid-Year Freak Out Tag
I was tagged by the one and only…
ME! I sound so lame 😂😂😂. I saw this floating around on the book blogging and booktube world, and I needed to do at least one wrap-up before the year-end wrap-up (I still haven’t written my Q1 reading wrap-up and I think it’s too late to do so). Naturally, I thought this tag was a great idea to use as a mid-year wrap-up.
