Happy Father’s Day: Fathers in Books
In Mandarin, we call fathers bàbà (爸爸). Since eight is bā (八) and August 8th bā-bā resembles bàbà in pronunciation, people in Taiwan celebrate today as Father’s Day instead of the third Sunday of June as observed in many countries, including the US and the UK.
Let’s celebrate Father’s Day by talking about five cool dads in great books! Somehow, I cannot find eight (bā) great dads, so it’s just five.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Colors In the Titles
After seeing Emer’s wonderful post of Top Ten Tuesday (TTT), I decided to start participating, too. TTT is currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, and each Tuesday, we get a prompt to talk about 10 books.
This week’s topic: books with colors in the titles.
Instead of randomly choosing 10 books that fit the theme, I want to use this chance to bring light to lesser known books. So, I am doing my best to only include those published by indie publishers this week. And by indie, I really mean LGBTQ+ literature publishing houses and self-published works. All listed books are sapphic.

April 2020 Wrap-Up
Some of you might know that my “day job” is a graduate student. And April was tough for me because I was prepping my oral defense, but I am happy I still got to read a little.

March 2020 Wrap-Up
In February, I read 27 books. It is the most I have read in a single month. Ever. Since the majority of them is unreviewed for now, I am starting a brand-new wrap-up series, beginning this month.
Into the World of ARCs
On the first day of March, I finally joined NetGalley, a website for book reviewers to access ebooks from publishers before release. When I first started reviewing books on Goodreads at the end of 2017 and on my book blog in 2018, I had no idea how other bloggers acquired books that were not yet published. After finally doing some research in February 2020 because of all the extra time at home due to the pandemic, I decided to try NetGalley to get some advanced review copies (ARCs).
