Mala’s September 2019 Cool Reads

Yes, they’re cool reads now. Because I got tired of calling them hot. (And they were only hot because I ran out of book-related puns.) But enough about temperature! Let’s take a look at all the awesome books I read last month! Like Mia Sosa’s trade paperback debut, The Worst Best Man—which isn’t out until… Read More Mala’s September 2019 Cool Reads

Mala’s August 2019 Hot Reads

Erotic romance and historical romance and a highly anticipated 2020 ARC, oh my! August saw me playing catch-up with authors like Joanna Shupe and Naima Simone, mainlining strong, sexy, debuts like Angelina Lopez’s Lush Money, and rewarding myself for working my butt off with my own writing by reading Kit Rocha’s upcoming Mercenary Librarians series-starter,… Read More Mala’s August 2019 Hot Reads

Mala’s July 2019 Hot Reads

I was afraid I’d lost my reading mojo over the course of the summer, but July proved me wrong, offering up multiple riveting reads across multiple genres and subgenres. I might actually be on track to beat last year’s book total if I keep going at this rate! And that victory will be due to… Read More Mala’s July 2019 Hot Reads

Mala’s June 2019 Hot Reads

A slew of DNFs put a major dent in my reading round-up for June and I’m kind of bummed out about only finishing seven books. All is not lost, though! While all seven were enjoyable, two of them were so immensely satisfying that it kind of makes up for my slump — Olivia Dade’s utterly… Read More Mala’s June 2019 Hot Reads

Mala’s May 2019 Hot Reads

May’s reading slate introduced me to one of my favorite heroines of the year so far: Hattie in Sarah MacLean’s Brazen and the Beast. In my head, I kind of pictured her as Gwendoline Christie from Game of Thrones. She’s determined to get what she wants, and when she decides that’s the titular Beast…well, he… Read More Mala’s May 2019 Hot Reads

Mala’s April 2019 Hot Reads

Folks, I think April was the best reading month I have ever had. So many excellent titles by so many excellent authors. From Samira Ahmed’s gut-wrenching and timely Internment—-one of the most impactful, important, books of 2019–to deliciously delightful contemporary romances like Jen DeLuca’s brilliant debut Well Met, Alyssa Cole’s best Reluctant Royals book yet… Read More Mala’s April 2019 Hot Reads

Mala’s March 2019 Hot Reads

I more than made up for some reading slumps in March—I actually finished 11 books! That’s an accomplishment! Especially since I got my grabby little hands on things like S.A. Chakraborty’s second Daevabad novel, The Kingdom of Copper, Uzma Jalaluddin’s charming Pride and Prejudice retelling Ayesha At Last, and Helen Hoang’s highly anticipated follow-up to The Kiss… Read More Mala’s March 2019 Hot Reads
