Currently I’m…
Hello! Hope you are well. I am back with another 'Currently I'm...' post. For those who don't know, I started doing these posts because of how intrigued I am to find out other people's currents. I love knowing what other people are currently reading, watching and listening to. Here is this month's 'Currently I'm...'
My Nonidentical Twin – Evie Meg
Back in 2020, when TikTok became the new social media site, it was practically impossible to not see one of Evie’s (This Trippy Hippie) videos on there. Evie became a constant on my FYP (for you page) and her videos brought a smile to my face, educated and inspired me. So, when I learnt she was releasing a memoir I wanted to read it as soon as possible.
An Arrow to the Moon – Emily X. R. Pan
Hunter Yee has perfect aim with a bow and arrow, but all else in his life veers wrong. He's sick of being haunted by his family's past mistakes. The only things keeping him from running away are his younger brother, a supernatural wind and the bewitching girl at his new high school. Luna Chang dreads the future. Graduation looms ahead, and her parents' expectations are stifling. Then her life is turned upside down by the strange new boy in her class, the arrival of unearthly fireflies, and an ominous crack spreading across the town of Fairbridge.
New Releases I’m Excited For! – August
It is that time of the month again where I share some new books that are on the horizon. There are a few books coming out in August that I'm excited about. I wanted to share some of them with you. Here are the new book releases I'm excited for in August!
This Place is Still Beautiful – XiXi Tian
Despite having had near-identical upbringings, sisters Annalie and Margaret agree on only one thing: that they have nothing in common. Nineteen-year-old Margaret is driven, ambitious, and keenly aware of social justice issues. She couldn't wait to leave their oppressive small-town home and take flight in New York. Meanwhile sweet, popular, seventeen-year-old Annalie couldn't think of anything worse - she loves their town, and feels safe coasting along in its confines. That is, until she arrives home one day to find a gut-punching racial slur painted on their garage door.
Ellie Pillai is Brown – Christine Pillainayagam
My name is Ellie. Ellie Pillai . . . And I suppose I am a little bit weird, but then, aren't we all, just a little bit? Most days, Ellie Pillai is somewhere between invisible, and not very cool - and usually she's okay with that. But suddenly, Ellie feels different. Maybe it's the new boy at school who makes her brain explode into rainbows every time she sees him (and also happens to be going out with her best friend), or maybe it's her new drama teacher, the one who seems to have noticed she exists.
Why is Nobody Laughing? – Yasmin Rahman
Will the real Ibrahim Malik please stand up? Ibrahim and Dexter have been best friends forever. While Dexter is always cool and confident, Ibrahim...well, Ibrahim's dealing with a lot. Hiding his passion for comedy from his family, dealing with the pressure of being the oldest child in an immigrant family, and now he's started having episodes he soon realises are panic attacks.
Her Dark Wings – Melinda Salisbury
The great love of Corey’s life has always been her best friend, Bree: closer than sisters, their bond is unbreakable. Or so Corey believes, until Bree betrays her, and Corey’s world is shattered. Corey finds herself heartbroken, furious and alone... Only to discover that the Underworld – and Hades, Lord of the Dead – is closer than she thinks...
