The Big Five Publishers and Their Imprints
A quick post I've been meaning to do containing a list of the Big Five publishers (the biggest publishers currently) and their many imprints.
Review: Book Lovers by Emily Henry
I've always found a self-aware book to be a bit cheaty -- just acknowledging that you are using cliches and then going ahead and writing it anyways feels like laziness. We all know that books are just stories recycled and rewritten and I think we are all willing to engage in a little suspension of disbelief together. But this one worked.
New Book Releases: June 7, 2022
We're gonna try something new, because I feel like I just don't cover all the books that I want to cover on this blog. Obviously, my reading pace is limited, but there are so many new releases out there that deserve love and attention. I'm going to start this weekly series highlighting the books I'm most excited to see out in the world.
Review: The Candy House by Jennifer Egan
This is my first Jennifer Egan book, though I definitely heard wonderful things about A Visit from the Goon Squad. That being said, I'm quite pleased with The Candy House being my introduction.

Review: Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam
Leave the World Behind was a fabulous read. It has all my favorites: poetic language, an end-of-the-world scenario, and filled with human moments. (Weirdly enough, Station Eleven just didn't do it for me.)

Review: Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty
Apples Never Fall was so overhyped by the bookclub scene that I really didn't have this on my TBR list. Another Mom drama, right? About a neighborhood struggling with mundane issues that entertain, but you'll forget about when the next one comes along. But boy was this another reminder to not judge a book by its cover (and to give mom bookclubs a bit more credit).
Review: Wahala by Nikki May
I've been a bit out of the loop when it comes to publishing recently. So I'm gonna be honest -- I was attracted to this one first by the cover, then by the synopsis, then pleasantly surprised that everyone else seemed to already be on board. Built-in bookclubs, yay!
I am absolutely in love. I don't think I even have a valid critique of this book -- it was that good. And I'm hard to please nowadays.
January 2022 Reading Recap
Let's just pretend February 1st is actually January 1st, okay? Okay. The first month of the year was busy, and I'll talk about that in another post (maybe! I'm unpredictable!), but finally we're getting back into the swing of things. While I'm getting over a bout of COVID (oh yes, it got me), I figured I would drop an update here regarding my reading. That's a topic I haven't brought up in a while! I completed a grand total of 3 books this January. Rough start, huh? My reading habits have been all out of wack the past couple of months, but that's okay -- even for a book blogger. That's an uncomfortable fact I'm grappling with at the moment.
