Priyanka

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (though I’m definitely biased) Genre: MOTIVATIONAL Age Recommended: Every. Single. Unicorn. I’m so happy to have finally read this book, and needless to say, it exceeded expectations that were pretty high in the first place 🙂 Lilly Singh has been one of my role models for the longest time. I religiously watched her new videos every Monday and Thursday, and even on the days she didn’t post new videos, I would go back and re-watch the old ones. My friends would laugh when I quoted her and my mom would blame her for my … Continue reading Book Review: How to Be A Bawse by Lilly Singh

You can find my other reviews by looking for books in the search tab!   Continue reading March Recap

January and February Recap

Priyanka

My reviewing has been a bit slow recently and I’m sorry, but I have now made a goal to publish at least two book reviews a week. Also, my January reviewing list was quite poor so I’ve decided to do a January and February recap this time. My favorites in these two months were definitely Wheels Of Change and Girl On A Wire. Below is the list of books that I have reviewed in January and February. I was also really excited because Darlene Beck Jacobson, author of Girl On A Wire, sent me bookmarks and a signed bookplate as a gift for reviewing … Continue reading January and February Recap
