Welcome to Betty Bookish Thoughts!

Consider this a mini introduction to my bookish taste and loves!

If I can’t choose just one genre to love, why not all?! 🥰 There are too many books and authors I admire whose characters and words speak to me and make their worlds feel real. Let me know which books resonate with you, and I’d love to hear your own bookish responses as well (in particular, I want to know which books made you ugly cry 🤭)!

Upcoming Asian books (2026) ✨

The ARC gods have been good to me ✨ 2026 is already looking FABULOUS for our Asian-authored reads and I’m not taking any moments for granted about how lucky I am to read them early! 🤍

Spread the word, alllll of these books are worth the read, add them to your TBR asap 🫶🏻
