Permanent Record by Mary H.K. Choi

Permanent Record by Mary H.K. Choi is an original book about a pop star and a college dropout that is surprisingly meaningful. I enjoyed the premise as well as the blend of entertainment and serious moments, however the main character’s actions really stressed me out. I had high hopes for this book since I enjoyed Emergency Contact, but this one fell a bit flat for me. Continue reading →

🐘Super excited to reread The Magician’s Eleph 🐘Super excited to reread The Magician’s Elephant before watching the new movie on Netflix this weekend! Thanks so much @penguinrandomca for the review copy. It’s one of my favourite middle grade books. ❤️
I’m super excited to share my review for ITS ALL I’m super excited to share my review for ITS ALL IN HOW YOU FALL by Sarah Henning on the blog today! 

It’s All in How You Fall by Sarah Henning combines sports with matchmaking as it follows a gymnast who must move forward after a career-ending injury. As a sucker for sports books, I loved the assortment of new sports that the main character explores, and the characters within the story have a sweet dynamic. This one left me with a smile on my face, and I would consider it a perfect feel-good summer read.

Be sure to check out my full review and favourite quotes from the book on the blog. (link in bio)

Thank you @tbrbeyondtours & @shhenning for the review copy!
