Tour the World in 30 Books: Highlighting Dating Makes Perfect by Pintip Dunn

Hello mersquad coven!

I know, I know. You’re seeing maybe three or more posts from me today. It’s a lot, right? But I know you missed me writing things other than reviews, and this is one of those other types of posts! This one is even more special because this is part of my friend / elder sister role model Sammie @ The Bookwyrm’s Den ‘s Diverse Book Blog Tour, part of her initiative to bring more diverse novels to her local library. I am so honored to be the first post on her one month tour, and I can’t wait to share with you some other creative content on why you should add Dating Makes Perfect by Pintip Dunn to your shelves – public library and home library!

This is a blog tour hosted by Sammie @ The Bookwyrm’s Den in support of her local public library’s Diverse Book Drive. The CCPL—a small, rural library in an area with a high poverty rate and a very homogeneous population, where people rarely have the means to travel or experience new perspectives. However, the library doesn’t believe that should stop people from learning more about the world around them, so they’re running a Diverse Book Drive through the month of September in an attempt to bring the rest of the world to the county instead. With a focus on MG and YA books, the CCPL aims to expose especially its young patrons to new and diverse perspectives and cultures.

Blog Tour: We Are Not Free by Traci Chee | Interview

Blog Tour: We Are Not Free by Traci Chee | Interview

Hello mersquad coven!

This was pretty emotional for me because of how both Traci and I had family members that were directly impacted by WWII and had family members that were incarcerated in internment camps despite being American citizens. It was just a difficult time in history that I feel isn’t always discussed when people talk about WWII, and knowing how this happened to so many people across the US and it feels almost erased from history feels really insulting to those that had to endure it. So, while I know that this book could be seen difficult to read because of the plot and time in history, I feel like this book brings some sort of honor back to them.

Thank you Colored Pages for including me in this tour. Click on the banner for the rest of the schedule and to see what other tours they have coming up.
