This post was originally going to be called “The Most Influential Asian American Literature of All Time” but who on earth could write that post? Instead, I’ve added the qualifier “some of” as a subtle acknowledgment that there is simply no way to get all the greats of Asian American literature in a single post.
It seems like every month, more and more romance novels are coming out — way more than we can keep track of. It’s always nice to know that book you’ve been waiting for which might have been announced years ago (or what feels like years, even if it’s only been a couple of months), is
There’s a lot going on in every wine glass. This overpriced grape juice has a long history, with some wineries dating back hundreds of years.

Getting youth to read over the summer can sometimes be a challenge. Luckily, there are several fun and non-stressful ideas out there to keep them engaged with reading.

A good comic is a good comic, as much as a good novel is a good novel. But there are far too few books which offer the best of both worlds and this is particularly true in YA. It’s rare to find books that offer both a visual element and a narrative, without being either
There are a few immovable truths in the literary community. No two people will read the same story without diverging at least a little in interpretation. Battles between format purists will rage on.

It’s been a while since the last Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck update. And by a while, I mean a few days. Jen and Ben skipped Monday’s Met Gala, and they were sorely missed: Jennifer Lopez knows how to dress thematically, and I’ll be wondering forever how she would have interpreted “Gilded Glamour.” At the
Fans are convinced that A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are already married (or at least engaged) after the rapper dropped a major hint in his latest music video. It’s been a pretty hectic year for the love-up pair, having announced in January 2022 that they’re expecting their first child and making their red-carpet debut at the

Jennifer Aniston’s iconic beauty looks have spanned generations, from her ‘Rachel’ haircut back in the ’90s, to her glossy skin at 52.
