HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY!!!!

Easily one of my FAVOURITE reads of the year!! An Auction of Souls by @amberwrites88 and one where I buddy read with @supergirled!! This was such a breezy, fast-paced read, and the entire experience felt like binge-watching a C-drama. The snappy scenes, classic C-drama tropes, character dynamics, Chinese mythology, and THE BANTER??? I ate EVERYTHING UP.

I genuinely had such a good time reading this book. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Anyway, I had so much fun putting together this little aesthetic carousel inspired by the novel! I hope I’ve managed to capture some of the fantasy Xianxia C-drama vibes that made me fall in love with it. And hopefully, it’ll convince some of you to pick it up too!! 🤭🙂‍↕️👌🏻

I’ve also posted my full 5⭐ review if you want to hear more me screaming about this book!

Also check out @supergirled’s post today too!! Hearsay her posts are all super cool and aesthetic🙂‍↕️🤩

**PLEASE GO ADD THIS TO YOUR TBRs NEOWWWW.** 🫶🏻

⚠️Harsh Review Ahead⚠️

QOTD: a book that was marketed falsely?

📖: Love Gods and Sinners by Camille Chong
Thank you @definitelybooks and the author for this lovely signed ARC ✨💕

📌 𝑶𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝑽𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒕: ⭐️⭐️

This episode of #wordwanderlustreviews is brought to you by YZ🍀

𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒏𝒋𝒐𝒚
✨ Sapphic romances
✨ ROMANNNNNNNNNNNNNtasy (9:1)
✨ Queer representation (Non-binary rep + Lesbians)
✨ Singaporean literature (Singlit)
✨ Enemies to Lovers (no slowburn though)
✨ Hidden Identities
✨ Chinese and Southeast Asian Mythology
✨ Urban Fantasy (Singaporean setting)
✨ “Witty” Banter (repetitive, one-liners)

Let me cut to the chase. I am not impressed. This is a debut novel, and it definitely reads like one. Oh yeah, that’s a criticism. Call me harsh or rude or whatever. I said what I said.

I will always say yes to supporting Queer literature, especially those that are written by Singaporean authors. We don’t see many such books, and you can imagine my excitement when I received an ARC of Love, Gods & Sinners. I immediately dived into it, and I must admit that the first five chapters had me somewhat hooked and amused with the banter so classic of an enemies-to-lovers romantasy. But things started to get stale for me real fast.

🎉 It’s my 1 year bookstaversary on @hijabi.booknook 🎉

#QOTD: How long have you been on bookstagram?

I have technically been on Bookstagram since 2020 but had a different account then. I love Bookstagram so much and am so grateful for all 1.5K+ of you! Thank you so much for your support! 🫶🏻💕🥰

📝Here’s some pictures of my favourite book of 2026 so far. This is the Illumicrate edition of The Poet Empress by Shen Tao.

📚If you follow me you know my favourite genre is fantasy but that I’m also a huge mood reader and go through phases of reading different genres at a time. I’m currently in a literary fiction mood. I do also read historical fiction and sometimes classics, contemporary or romance books.

🥰Also wanted to feature some of my favourite accounts. There’s so many I love and I wasn’t able to include everyone! 💕

QOTD: What is your first read of February?
…
YZ: These are my February hopefuls! What are y’all reading?

Bren: Can’t believe that it’s February already! I have planned out 10 reads for the months (might just be me being ambitious again) but we shall see how the month goes! I’m back in my horror mood so half of my picks are horror, but im also hoping to read some fantasy, historical fiction, and a tad bit of romance. Hoping the month is going to be good to all of us!💫

Kess: really excited to read these books! picked out 8, i’ll be happy to just read 4 out of 8 because feb’s gonna be pretty intense for meee 🙂 reading king of envy right now and i’m actually having fun... been so long since i read romance 👀🤍

🍃✨️ Threads That Bind Duology ✨️🍃

I feel that this Duology is so underrated. Even in most lists for YA Greek Retelling, it's hardly mentioned.

What intrigued me most about this retelling is that it's about the fate sisters. There are not many retelling about them. Or maybe there're many and I'm just living under a rock.

Anyways, thank you to Sarah, for helping me make this purchase possible. I love it so much. A gift to myself for leaving a misaligned workplace. A small reward for choosing myself.

Last session of NEC with a journaling sesh. This was 2 weeks ago but I still couldn’t get over it. We slowed down, ate and yap. Missing a few of us but thanks to everyone present for bringing all of your journaling materials over🥹💕 and food and books and your enthusiasm. Definitely the highlight of the year, and this is one way to end it ❤️

Can we still be friends if books aren’t the common denominator?🥹

One of the best things I did this year was start the Novel Exchange Club. Planning each quarterly activity has been so much fun, and even though we meet only four times a year, I love that we still find countless bookish events to enjoy together.

This has been the year I met so many wonderful bookish people—some of whom have become real friends. It feels incredibly special to have found a safe space where we can simply be ourselves, surrounded by people who love the same things we do.

I still remember doubting myself at the start, and how Amy encouraged me to just go for it. I’m so glad I did. Look how far we’ve come! What an eventful, meaningful year it has been.

I’m grateful for each and every one of you. I’m so excited for what we have planned in 2026, and I hope it becomes another year full of bookish adventures for all of us.

Here’s to more stories, more community, and more memories ahead! 📚✨

And... in a blink of an eye, weekend 1 of SWF is over 😭 have had several meaningful connections and chats over this weekend, thank youu @sgwritersfest for providing such a great platform for readers and curious thinkers every year. Lovely meeting and attending talks from @kuangrf @amberwrites88 @heymysara @elliemarney, @chenghim, @littleredtomato

Amidst the chaos of R.F. Kuang’s book signing yesterday, the Singapore Writers Festival reminded me why I love this community so much. It's a space where we can celebrate our shared love for stories, words, ideas... and fictional characters. Various authors have shaped our reading preferences, and some even the impetus of our reading journey, and the concept of book signing or meeting thinkers/authors is not new, but how we behave and adapt to situations are important.

It’s been so lovely meeting fellow bookstagrammers and book lovers over the weekend, where no one thinks we’re too crazy or much for wanting our books signed by our favourite authors!!! we've tagged some of y'all in the reel 🫶🏾 Also shoutout to our SWF besties @charmaines.reads @vintagelygrace @thebookaccountantt !! always a joy to be surrounded by goofiness but also very real ppl & conversations.

The panels and discussions we’ve attended have been so thought-provoking and inspiring. Truly grateful to be part of this community of readers who just get it. 💕💕 Cheers to another eventful week of SWF, and we hope to see some of you friends around 🥂
