    #5OnMyTBR — Death

    2nd November 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: Death.

    It’s been a while since I posted for #5OnMyTBR, but I’m back again! I’m also currently prepping for blog tours organized by Hear Our Voices Book Tours for You Should See Me In A Crown (Nov 9th) and Rent a Boyfriend (Nov 13th), so be sure to check back here for both tours!

    October 2020 Wrap-Up

    1st November 2020

    Did I just skipped two months and went from a July wrap-up to an October one? Yes. Will I ever post about all those lost months? I hope so. I feel like 2020 is so weird I am living multiple timelines at the same time, a few of which has yet to catch up and realize it’s already November. Given that I study space science (sort of), let’s pretend I’m floating aimlessly in space, devoid of all sense of time.

    I buddy read for the first time in October! YAYYY! Shout out to E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook for being my first ever reading buddy! Also big thanks to Cas (IG: @casscannot.read), Laura (IG: @lezreadalot), Althea @ Althea Is Reading, and Brittany (Twitter: @britthebookguru) for reading with me.

    WLW Wednesday — 21 Oct 2020

    25th October 2020

    WLW Wednesday is a bookish meme among bloggers who read sapphic books. Hosted by Sasha and Amber @ Sasha and Amber Read, we are encouraged share our recent wlw/sapphic reads every week or two.

    I know it’s no longer October 21st, but my cutoff day is on Wednesday so here I am, four days late, sharing what sapphic books I read over the past two weeks (since my last WLW Wednesday post)! I also totally intended on doing monthly wrap-ups, but the one for August is still no where to be seen. Pretty sure I am not running on Earth time anymore.

    #5OnMyTBR — Historical

    12th October 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: Historical.

    Growing up, I read a lot of historical fantasy in Chinese, namely, martial arts (wuxia) novels. I love historical fiction, with or without fantasy elements, and here are five LGBTQ+ historical fiction I am excited to read.

    Planning for October’s Sapphic Saturday 2020

    11th October 2020

    Hey, lovelies! Again, I have been so caught up with trying to reorder my life (my daily schedule is currently waking up in the evening and going to bed in the morning because midterms and homework messed me up) that I haven’t had the chance to sit down and go through all the awesome posts in the blogosphere. But it will happen very soon and I cannot wait to read about what happened during the past week!

    Sapphic Saturday is coming up on October 17th. This monthly/bi-monthly event is a 24-hour sapphic book readathon hosted by Arin (she/her) and Brittany (she/her). It is an awesome event that I have been wanting to participate for a while, and what better time to start than this month?

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.
