Frivolities aside, The Umbrella Academy Season 2 makes some strong statements. Will the siblings escape doomsday again? At what cost?

Books that I read in the first half of 2020
Yes, I know I am running about 7 books behind in my goodreads challenge, but I’ve still done better than last year where I was a hopeless Netflix addict who read like basic 3 books through the year.
The Fault In Our Stars – John Green
I wanted to see what all the hype was about and of course was looking for a good read when I decided to pick this one.
The Broken Girls by Simone St. James
DO NOT READ THIS BOOK RIGHT BEFORE BED! I mean it, I did this for two nights in a row and actually had sleepless nights The pace of the book was a little slow at the start. But Fiona’s journey began at the Old Barrons Road, and with each page, it compelled me within the…
Aurora Burning by Jay Kristoff, Amy Kaufman
What I did not expect was science fiction revolving around space and the universe to delve so deep into philosophy, feelings and those nuances that makes humans…well, human.
Eliza And Her Monsters – Francesca Zappia
If there were ever a book I were to recommend on mental health, teenage angst and real feelings – this would be it. Eliza And Her Monsters is a breath of fresh air.

Highfire – By Eoin Colfer
I waited for this book with such excitement and bought the e book because I had literally no patience to wait for even a day for this to get delivered. A dragon alive in Louisiana who loves Vodka Martinis and Netflix? HELL YEAH!
Malice – By Pintip Dunn
Amidst the ongoing pandemic, this book can trigger a lot of anxiety for those who may be sensitive at this stage.
The book is not as scary as one would expect. It doesn’t just speak of a global pandemic with no cure, but also how a broken human, and flawed love is instrumental in wiping humanity itself out.
The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak
Text & picture by @darshu_08 While @thesecondlibrarian has been wanting to read this book forever, she’s a tad better procrastinator than me. This book has been so talked about, I couldn’t wait to read it. Took me not more than some 4 days to finish this because, well, college wouldn’t allow me to binge. Ugh! This is not…
