The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter – Book Review

The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter is a psychological crime thriller that I picked up after one of my favourite BookTubers recommended it on her channel, and also because a few bloggers that I admire vouched for the quality of the author’s works. Upon finishing this book, my very first one by Slaughter, all I…

Doing an international readathon with my nephews today. It’s gonna be so chill and exciting. I decided to split my time between manga and books. These are my weekend manga pickings! Black Bird is a re-read for me. I remember loving it dearly the first time around and hope that the sentiment sticks around on this second visit. Wishing you all a comfortable quarantine. Don’t forget to practise some self-care this weekend, chums. 💜 . . . . #bookstagram #beautifulbooks #bookcovers #manga #mangacollection #shojomanga #seinenmanga #otaku #otakulife #books #bibliophile #bibliophilelife #bookishthings #bookworms #booknerds #bookgeeks #booklover #bookaholic #bookobsessed #bookjunkie #readaholic #tbrstack #bookphotography #bookblogger
I’ve been really, really digging fantasy lately. It’s a genre I’ve always adored but I had lost my ability to enjoy it for so long. I was afraid I’d never find my way back to it. However, thanks to The Daevabad series by S.A. Chakraborty, I’ve found my passion for fantasy again and I’m SOOO grateful for it. I can’t wait to read more fantasy this year and just escape the chaos of everything that’s going on. Is there a genre y’all love but felt like you’re losing your interest in it? Even a tiny itty bitty bit? . . . . . #bookstagram #bookstack #fantasybooks #bookphoto #beautifulbooks #bookspines #bibliophile #bookish #bookworms #booknerds #bookgeeks #toberead #bookishthings #booklr #bookblogger #booklove #readaholic #happythings #findinginspiration
Got some BITCHIN’ books in the mail! Surprise loot from my cousin, who’s the bestest human around. 🥰 A Hero Born is an #OwnVoices Chinese fantasy novel and the first of a series. Follows Guo Jing and his mum as they flee to the plains of Ghengis Khan after their father/husband is murdered by the Jin Empire. I’m super intrigued by Kung-Fu being used as a part of the magic system in this world. How We Disappeared is an #OwnVoices Singaporean historical fiction story about the Japanese invasion of Singapore. Both look and sound so bloody fantastic. . . . . . #diversebooks #wndb #weneeddiversebooks #celebrasian #asianliterature #chineseliterature #singaporeanliterature #asianbooks #fictionintranslation #fantaybooks #bookmail #newbooks #womensprizeforfiction #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookworms #booknerds #bookishthings #bookishlife #booklover #readaholic #bibliophile #bookphoto #bookjunkie #igreads #readinglife #historicalfiction

These are three books that came in the mail right before the quarantine and shutdowns. I’m looking forward to reading The Kingdom of Copper this weekend for the #24in48readathon. I’ve been enjoying The City of Brass waaay too much, which is such a great feeling, honestly. I’ve been devouring fantasy narratives lately and it’s such a wild ride. I love it. . . . . . #bookhaul #diversebooks #muslimliterature #islamicliterature #indianliterature #daevabadtrilogy #thekingdomofcopper #sacresgames #epicfantasy #fantasybooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookmail #booklove #bookaholic #booknerds #bookgeeks #bookworms #bookjunkie #readaholic #igreads #bibliophile #bookishlife #bookblogger #bookporn

Untamed Shore is an #OwnVoices Latinx story about a young girl who is hired to be a translator for three Americans that are visiting Baja California. When one of them turns up dead, she’s caught in a web of deceit where she must decide whether she’s the hunted or the hunter. 🦈 This is advertised as a thriller but I’d call it more of a noir mystery than anything else. It doesn’t have the same sense of exhilaration or heart pounding suspense typical of thrillers. But it’s very methodical and transfixing in its execution. There’s a vibrancy to the examination of small town life and the almost desperate need to escape it, which combined with scorching undercurrents of mythology and contrasting cultures, makes the narrative irresistible. It’s twisted while being sparse yet vivid in its descriptions of the settings and characters, and these were elements I couldn’t help but devour. The overarching plot it somewhat clichéd and predictable, however the lushness of the Latinx representation and cultural exploration makes it feel fresher. 🦈 Recommended for readers of classic, noir whodunnits and fans of vintage cinema. . . . . . #latinxbooks #latinxliterature #mexicanliterature #diversebooks #wndb #bookstagrammer #bookreview #mysterybooks #noirfiction #bookrecommendation #bookphotography #booktography #bookblogger #bibliophilelife #bookish #bookishthings #bookjunkie #bookworms #readaholic #newbooks #silviamorenogarcia #includedlit
