They say write about what you know and I couldn’t agree more. People fascinate me and the way they have accomplished the things they have fascinates me. After all, we can learn from everyone. K-Pop star Jessica Jung is writing about what she knows. The former Girls Generation singer signedRead More →
One of the things that we love on Instagram is the poetry on the platform. One of our favorites is @PoeticPoison. The girl is mad talented. And she speaks to us on a level that we didn’t know we’d be touched by. The writer, Caroline Kaufman, is back with herRead More →
Sara Faring’s The Tenth Girl isn’t really my kind of book. And that’s putting it lightly. Maybe I’m just getting old (don’t say it), but lately I just haven’t really been into suffering, in TV or book form. I can’t say I’ve never read psychological thrillers, but I’ve just neverRead More →
I have honestly been in a reading slump. I mean, sure, I have a TBR pile that is legit taking over my room, but I have felt like NOTHING is original. And that’s been the hard part. I’ve been picking up books and then setting them back down, because IRead More →
I read a lot, and I go to a lot of book conventions. One thing that I have noticed when attending these conventions is that there aren’t too many authors of color floating around. Another fact which I am ashamed to admit is, I myself, am not too familiar withRead More →
We’re all about books becoming movies or television shows. We kinda wish that people were snapping up more contemporary books, but hey, fantasy books are just as equally amazing. The newest book to be getting a television option is the fantasy book Bloodleaf by Crystal Smith. Clearleaf Media has snappedRead More →
Sweaters, boots, and pumpkin spice lattes will soon be replacing those shorts, flip flops, and iced coffees, as we prepare for fall. With summer ending, it’s time to start gathering up those fall reads. If you are unsure of what to add to your TBR, have no fear, Fangirlish isRead More →

I am a bibliophile and if there is one thing I love more than anything, it’s going to bookstores. I love going on the hunt for new bookstores because often, you find something you wouldn’t normally find anywhere else. With it being summertime, I find some people have no ideaRead More →
If there’s one thing I love, it’s sports. If there’s another thing I love, it’s sports books. If there’s another, another thing I love, it’s sports books with a female lead. Which is why Jennifer Iacopelli’s Break the Fall feels like the sports book I’ve been waiting for! While I’m not anRead More →
When I came across the synopsis for Becky Wallace’s Stealing Home, I just knew I had to read this book. Not only did it sound like the perfect YA contemporary summer read, but it was a book where sports was the center. And when it comes to sports: I’m happy toRead More →
We all know Stephen King is a master of horror. With more than 85 books under his belt, film adaptations and some of the most iconic frightening scenes in history created in his mind, there is no question he is the epitome of the horror genre. Books such as IT,Read More →
Over the years I have read a few books on what it means to be black in America. It occurred to me I hadn’t really read many about what it means to be young and black in America. That was until I read Black enough: Stories of Being Young &Read More →

Welcome to Queerly Not Straight! And for the month of June we’ll beRead More →
I have a challenge for you. Next time you’re perusing the romance section in your favorite bookstore, look around. You’re likely to find you’re the only one there, or, alternatively, that the only people joining you in the romance section are, well …women. Almost as if reading romance were tabooRead More →
Another book. Another option. To be honest, this book has been out, but I haven’t read it. It’s sitting on my side table. However, Aurora Rising has been a book that all my friends are talking about. The book, which comes from Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, has been optionedRead More →
The Hunger Games might’ve wrapped some time ago, but it’s about to make a comeback. Prequel style.

The untitled new book, which will hit bookshelves on May 19, 2020, is set 64 yearsRead More →
Many of us who read a lot of YA romance are probably familiar with this particular meme: Young adult romance has the ability to show us the variety of perfection in fictional boys. The sensitive jock, the artistic bad boy, the hot nerd, all of them give us the fantasyRead More →
I love books. Seriously, if I could get paid to just sit and read all day, I would take that. What I love even more is getting the chance to meet the authors behind all the books I love. That’s what book signings are for. I have been attending bookRead More →
I don’t know about you, but I am loving the resurgence of teen rom-com’s. I am loving the contemporary stories that are being optioned and making their way to the screen. We all love To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and the people behind it have optioned a newRead More →
