AAPI HERITAGE MONTH SPECIAL

  Hello friends...welcome to my space. As you might know, May is a month for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage so I decided to read books that represent them. But for this year, I more focus on reading Asian books. And...here they are! 1. The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh Deadly storms have ravaged Mina’s homeland for generations. Floods sweep away entire villages, while bloody wars are waged over the few remaining resources. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curses them with death and despair. In an attempt to appease him, each year a beautiful maiden is thrown into the sea to serve as the Sea God’s bride, in the hopes that one day the “true bride” will be chosen and end the suffering. Many believe that Shim Cheong, the most beautiful girl in the village—and the beloved of Mina’s older brother Joon—may be the legendary true bride. But on the night Cheong is to be sacrificed, Joon follows Cheong out to sea, even knowing that to interfere is

Hi, friends.... Welcome to my space! RAMADHAN IS HERE, EVERYONE!  I hope you all still have the energy to continue fasting for the rest of the month. If not, then I hope this book can help to lift it up! Today, we meet the troubled girls of Dragomir Academy. But, are they really troubled? T he Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy by Anne Ursu If no one notices Marya Lupu, it is likely because of her brother, Luka. And that's because of what everyone knows: that Luka is destined to become a sorcerer. The Lupus might be from a small village far from the capital city of Illyria, but that doesn't matter. Every young boy born in in the kingdom holds the potential for the rare ability to wield magic, to protect the country from the terrifying force known only as the Dread. For all the hopes the family has for Luka, no one has any for Marya, who can never seem to do anything right. But even so, no one is prepared for the day that the sorcerers finally arrive to test Luka for magical abi

Hi, friends! Welcome to my space. This time I will talk about one of my favorite books of all time which is Heartless . Heartless by Marissa Meyer Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen. Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans. This book is a retelling of Alice in Wonderland, but instead of focusing on Alice, this book is more focusing on Queen of Hearts. So the s
