This is not a diary. I loathe the very thought of compiling my thoughts and actions in a locked book, secreted away as if they were precious jewels.

“Elle est morte!”
Lenobia‘s world exploded with the sound of a scream and three small words.
“She is dead?” Jeanne, the scullery maid working beside her, paused in her kneading of the plump, fragrant bread dough.

Anger and confusion stirred within Dragon Lankford. Was Neferet truly taking her leave of them so soon after the death of the boy and their goddess‘s cataclysmic visit?

“I‘m sorry,” I said, bracing myself for the inevitable backlash. When my Selection started, I‘d pictured it ending this way—with dozens of my suitors leaving at a time, many of them unprepared for their moment in the spotlight to be over.

pickWow! What a powerful memoir!
As an Asian American female, I was super intrigued by the premise of this memoir. It did not disappoint!
The memoir is told through a series of essays, which worked so well. Each essay was well crafted and blended personal experience with research. It dove deep into how Asian women have been fetishized throughout history and the media.

I could not hold my breath for seven minutes. I couldn‘t even make it to one. I once tried to run a mile in seven minutes after hearing some athletes could do it in four but failed spectacularly when a wide stitch crippled me about halfway in.

This time we were in the Great Room enduring another etiquette lesson when bricks came flying through the window. Elise immediately hit the ground and started crawling for the side door, whimpering as she went.

pickThis was a great start to the series!
Going into this, I knew nothing about the comic or the danmei novel it was based on. I went into it blind.
First off, the art is absolutely stunning! Since I had an ARC, the majority of the book was in black and white. However, there were some pages in the beginning that were in full color.

pickThis was such an exciting novel. The end really took me off guard. I‘m so excited to see how it all ends in the final book. It‘s such a great series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Angeles air was quiet, and for a while I lay still listening to the sound of Maxon‘s breathing. It was getting harder and harder to catch him in a truly calm and happy moment, and I soaked up the time, grateful that he seemed to be at his best when he and I were alone.
