I got this from the library since I was hesitant to purchase it. Mostly because it’s super popular on Bookstagram, and most popular books have been a miss for me. That said, I went into

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami – Book Review

As someone who has lived in North America her entire life, the cultural divide from western norms to this piece of Japanese literature were quite bizarre. The fantasy elements of the story were quite peculiar

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab – Book Review

Solid 4 stars, I loved it! Just to preface this review, I don’t normally read romance or historical fiction. I’ve had rather annoying experiences with enemies-to-lovers, and most of the hyped books on Bookstagram have
