REVIEW: Stargazer

Poetry collection number 3 of my little poetry reading challenge is Stargazer by Rachel M. Patterson. I’ve finished this before going on a short hiatus to focus on my finals but now I’m on a semester break until July. Hopefully, I’m able to read a bit more now. I’ve received quite a lot of poetry… Read More REVIEW: Stargazer

REVIEW: An Ocean of Grey

It’s National Poetry Month in the United States and though I may not be from there, I would still love to celebrate. For this month and the next, I hope to finish reading the many poetry collections that I have.

REVIEW: Lines by Leon: Poems, Prose and Pictures

I really enjoy reading poetry since it is an opportunity to think and reflect, the way the sentence flows always makes me feel joyous and the carefully chosen words make it a work of art that never fails to brighten my day.

REVIEW: Express Pursuit

It has been 2 months since my last review and I’m glad to be out of my reading slump.

MINI REVIEWS (#1): A potential new series

Like most reviewers, I read more (and faster) than I review. With school work piling up and life spiralling out of hand, I feel less motivated to put my thoughts and feelings into words that make sense. This makes me feel a little guilty though since I feel inclined to review every book I read… Read More MINI REVIEWS (#1): A potential new series

REVIEW: Stumptown

*Last time, I shared how the year is almost ending and I am nowhere near my goal of 45 books. For the month of October, I believe I’ll be reading more poetry collections as well as graphic novels to increase the number. That, and a lot more books that don’t require me to focus so… Read More REVIEW: Stumptown
