9 October 2023 Book Releases You Need To Read

I know this post is weeks late, but nevertheless I wanted to give all of the October book releases the attention they deserve. There’s so many incredible books coming out and it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t take the time to scream about them! For the most part, all of the books on the list are contemporary fiction, although there are a couple of thrillers mixed in there for your enjoyment. As…

Rating: 2/5 Margot discovers her mother’s death on a return visit to Korea town and becomes suspicious when the detective asks her if she suspects foul play. Margot spends the rest of the book combing over every detail looking for someone who might have had an interest in murdering her mom. *SPOILERS AHEAD* Margot is grasping at straws for most of the story.

The Last Story Of Mina Lee by Nancy Jooyoun Kim | Audiobook Review

The Last Story Of Mina Lee by Nancy Jooyoun Kim appealed to me, honestly, because the cover was pink. Then I saw that it was picked for Reese’s Book Club and knew I had to get to it sooner rather than later. You see, I give into hype a lot. As expected, this audiobook was well worth my time. What’s The Story Here? Nancy Jooyoun Kim’s The Last Story Of Mina Lee is basically a parallel timeline…

Quote

I was quite frankly looking for a way to forget everything, to not feel anything for a few days, to have nothing to take care of but my deepest, and in some way, most animal desires. But I am at war with myself—the part of me that wants to relax and the part of me that just can’t relax because the tropes are so obvious. The cliché of pleasure built on hierarchies, hierarchies propped by the intersections of race and class, the fact that having black people serve us is as constant as white noise.

My mother was one of a few Koreans in an area of mostly Latinos, who worked under the metal roof of an abandoned warehouse converted into a shopping emporium—car stereos, healing potions, sneakers, gold jewelry, toys.

11/29 (Additional) Book Deals

Good morning, everyone! I hope your week is off to a wonderful start! :)

Apologies for not posting more last week, I was trying to take some time off of the internet and decompress a bit before diving into what is sure to be a rather stressful month. Last week also marked the 15 year anniversary of my dad’s death, so that’s always a weird time for me, as well. I’d love to hear how you all are doing! How’s life? Can you believe it’s already almost December?? How’s your weather?? We’re still getting warm weather here off and on, go figure.

In regard to the books (which is why we’re all here), there are a ton on sale, so seems like an awesome time to stock up on both new and backlist releases for really great prices if you need to get some more books to read! Also, I will link to and repost my deals post from last week because I’m pretty sure those are also still on sale, so lots of options. :) The Book of Koli is one I always recommend, and I’ve really enjoyed books by H.G. Parry! Also, I haven’t read them, but the entire Cursebreaker series (A Curse so Dark and Lonely, etc.) is on sale as a bundle, so if you’ve been wanting to read that it seems like a really good deal! There are just basically a lot of awesome books available to choose from, including some super new releases, as well as some really popular backlist titles (like The Fifth Season!), so definitely have a look. :)
