Hi Lovelies! I know it is a bit too late for this post but I wanted to share the books that I want to read this year. My goal is to read unread books that I have sitting on my shelves and I do have a lot those. During this pandemic, I realize how many books I have not read and I just feel guilty that I buy a lot of books while they are just sitting there. Anyway, here are 15 book that I want to read this 2021.  1.  These Violent Delights ( These Violent Delights ) #1 by Chloe Gong The year is 1926, and Shanghai hums to the tune of debauchery.

As the deaths stack up, Juliette and Roma must set their guns—and grudges—aside and work together, for if they can’t stop this mayhem,

Hi Lovelies! It has been a long time since I have posted in this blog. Honestly, I had a hard time last year with reading and writing. I had the longest reading slump and whenever I do pick up a book I was not into the story. I was not interested and I was forcing myself to read and that I believe contributed to prolonging my reading slump. Since I was not reading as much, I also did know what to write. Anyway, December 2020 I was slowly getting out of my slump and last month I was enjoying reading again. I read 7 books and I enjoyed a majority of the books that I read.  1.
