"The Wedding Witch" by Erin Sterling.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love Sterling's other work (Ex Hex is an all-time fave romance) but this one just didn't hit with me. Wanted a little more slowburn development at the start. Felt too focused on the time travel plot than witchiness.

Cute winter vibe read!

Recent reads - 2 books that deal with romance, heartbreak, and trauma in very different ways yet still representative of their eras. Looking forward to reading more Baldwin.

Giovanni's Room ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.5 ⭐️ "Illuminae" by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I wish that I loved this more. The concept and format are amazing but the story is character-driven w/ flat protags. "Snarky teenager" dialogue & writing...not for me.

Interesting worldbuilding. Won't finish the trilogy.

4.5 ⭐️ "The Three-Body Problem" by Cixin Liu.

Stunningly well-crafted and thoughtful but a little scientifically dense - a challenging read for sure.

Amazing sci-fi with mystery and heart.

I will now be taking an intro to physics course to better understand the sequels lol.

4 ⭐️ "The Kiss Curse" by Erin Sterling.

Perfectly good lighthearted romantic witchy fun. Really loving the contemporary spooky & silly witches and looking for more books along these lines! 🧹🪄 💜 🐈‍⬛️

Fake relationship with a slowburn romance that feels...really REAL!

I love how Miles is just a nice chill guy and Daphne is a passionate, slightly high-strung librarian. I relate to her strict Whiteboard calendar and inability to socialize (very AuDHD-coded).

Cozy summer vibes

I wish that this book grabbed me as much as it promised to. Although the premise is a bit dark for my romantic sensibilities, I was hooked through the 1st half but slogged my way through the 2nd.

Wasn't rooting for the relationship & ironically disappointing, rushed ending.

Everything Glittered by Robin Talley

3.5 ⭐️ Highly recommend! A genuinely intriguing murder mystery with a cast of naive, lovable teenage sapphics in the roaring 20s. Such a fun story that takes a lot of care examining historical queerness and misogyny. Fast-paced & thrilling!

Student influencers discuss mental health, social media and life-work balance:

As a historical center of technological research and development, it’s no surprise that students at UC Berkeley have grown up immersed in social media...
