Latest posts
I, Julius Caesar by Alfred de Montesquiou
Rome's most infamous rise and fall, told in first person and full color. Confusing family tree, surprisingly engaging history, my fellow scholars.
As Long As She Lives by Kate Wiley
A death row confession, a serial killer's daughter, and suspicion that never stops climbing. Not a cliffhanger. A chasm hanger, my secret sleuth.
Two ARCs, One Pub Day: A Suitcase Full & Monster Manners A to Z
One suitcase leaving Iran, and twenty-six monsters minding their manners. Two picture books out the very same day, and both worth every spine — my dear traveller, my little monster.
The Nightingales by Emil Wilson
A drawn diary of one impossible summer — friendship, grief, and a family quietly coming undone. Aching, tender, unforgettable, my sweet songbird.
Is Reading a Dying Art?
A love letter, an investigation, and the very first entry of this little blog — with polls so you can overrule me.
Curious Mind and Dancing Feet by Melinda González
A kaleidoscope mind, celebrated. Honest, joyful, genuinely useful — this one belongs in every classroom. Five full spines, my curious mind.
Kitten by Stacey Yu
A girl, her boyfriend's cat, and an obsession that cracks her open. Cute cover, ambitious themes — and yet, my kitten, it fell a little flat.
The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
A life told entirely in letters. Quiet, tender, and a gentle nudge to truly correspond again — this one, my dear correspondent, stayed with me.
My reading nook tour
Where the magic happens: fairy lights, a criminally large TBR pile, and one very opinionated cat.
hi, i'm rae ♡
Professional page-turner, amateur sleep-scheduler. I review books here and on Goodreads, Instagram, and TikTok — honestly, cozily, and with a weakness for sprayed edges. This blog is brought to you in collaboration with Bronston Canadian Academy, with new posts weekly.
