    #5OnMyTBR — Red Cover

    14th September 2020

    Hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook, #5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme where we talk about 5 books on our TBR on Mondays. You can learn more about it in E.’s original announcement or #5OnMyTBR page.

    This week’s prompt: Red Cover.

    I have been traveling the past weekend so I am running behind on replying to all the lovely people who dropped by my blog as well as blog hopping. I promise I will get back to each message very soon and check out all your amazing new posts. Though my schedule is a mess after neglecting my duties for a couple days due to packing and flying, nothing will keep me from participating in #5OnMyTBR!

    #5OnMyTBR — Disabled MC

    31st August 2020

    Hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook, #5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme where we talk about 5 books on our TBR on Mondays. You can learn more about it in E.’s original announcement or #5OnMyTBR page.

    This week’s prompt: Disabled MC.

    A lot of books with disabled main character(s) are written by non-disabled authors. But I want to amplify #ownvoices works only in this week’s #5OnMyTBR.

    Below are 5 fictional works featuring disabled MCs by authors who share the same disabilities as their characters.

    #5OnMyTBR — Ensemble Cast

    24th August 2020

    Hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook, #5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme where we talk about 5 books on our TBR on Mondays. You can learn more about it in E.’s original announcement or #5OnMyTBR page.

    This week’s prompt: Ensemble Cast.

    I don’t think I read many books with ensemble casts. The only two series that come to mind right now are Six of Crows Duology by Leigh Bardugo and The Gilded Wolves Trilogy by Roshani Chokshi. But I am sure there are more sitting on my TBR shelf, so here we go.

    #5OnMyTBR — 2020 Release

    17th August 2020

    Hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook, #5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme where we talk about 5 books on our TBR on Mondays. You can learn more about it in E.’s original announcement or #5OnMyTBR page.

    This week’s prompt: 2020 Release.

    I started reviewing ARCs on NetGalley and directly from publishers and authors in March this year. Since then, most of the books I have read are 2020 releases.

    But I don’t want to talk about ARCs today. I am going to list 5 books released in 2020 that I purchased instead. All are #ownvoices books.

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
