At my second year of book reviewing. It’s been two years now since I joined NetGalley and BookishFirst, and began to receive ARCs from social media connections.

I’ve got a book list for you! After I became a bookstagrammer last year, I found myself getting asked more than ever for book recommendations. Since I feel like I’m repeatedly scrolling through Goodreads, trying to summarize, I decided to post a comprehensive list here and then I can share the link in future with […]
