Queen B’s Decree: I exceptionally loved this book. It combines my love of sweet geeky nerds, gaming, and being true to yourself. Emilia is living a double life: popular straight-A student and field hockey player by day and MMO gamer by night. She’s struggling with living up to her parents’ expectations while trying to make […]
Queen B’s Decree: We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This as a title didn’t fit with the story. I expected a series of meet cutes, maybe some enemies-to-lovers. Instead it’s about Quinn and Tarek, who have been working on weddings most of their lives with their families (wedding planning and catering, respectively) and have been friends […]
Queen B’s Decree: Perfect on Paper had so much LGBTQ+ representation but it didn’t feel gratuitous. I love how normalized it was. This didn’t feel like an exposé about LGBTQ+, it was just a story about teens. Darcy is a bisexual teenager who has been running an anonymous relationship advice service from locker 89 for […]
Queen B’s Decree: As you may know, I am attempting to read outside my comfort zone. A Golden Fury sounded so interesting – alchemy! Who wouldn’t be interested in a female alchemist from 1792!? And at the beginning, it was very interesting. The story of the Philosopher’s Stone, the history of alchemy, and the curse […]
Queen B’s Decree: I had high hopes about this story. A teenage amputee with a history of cancer? That’s not a normal character I read about, so I was definitely excited about that. And Mari was amazing. She maturely accepts and deals with her disability and has adjusted well to having a single leg and […]
Queen B’s Decree: Every now and then, I like to venture into the world of fantasy. Often times I am overwhelmed with fantasy books; too much world building, too many characters, a new language to learn, etc. But Fable hit the sweet spot for me. Fable was abandoned on an island by her father just […]
Queen B’s Decree: Another light read in the YA world of K-Pop. We finally get to see Hyunseo’s side of the story. Nayeon is a law student interning at Hyunseo’s K-Pop company. And the upper management is so angry with Hyunseo’s actions that instead of assigning him a company lawyer…he gets Nayeon. Which may be […]
Queen B’s Decree: I just wanted a sweet YA where despite her weight, the heroine learns to love herself. Is that too much to ask? Abi and the Boy Next Door didn’t really answer my craving. Starting off with some fat shaming, we learn that our heroine Abi is an overweight teenager transferring high schools […]
Queen B’s Decree: I thought I was burnt out on the bully genre. But then Treacherous came along and I realized that no…I was ready for more. Rylee’s mom has remarried in the middle of her senior year of high school, and her new stepbrother has decided that she is an interloper and she doesn’t […]
Queen B’s Decree: When I saw there was a lesbian retelling of Pride & Prejudice, I couldn’t click request fast enough. I don’t think I can even count how many retellings I have read since I first encountered Eliza Bennett and Mr. Darcy. My hopes were high. And they were sadly not met. Here’s what […]
