I dunno if anyone cares but here’s my 2026 BookCon Review. Some thing’s I didn’t mention:

Bookcon was intense and honestly I had a lot of thoughts but I did my best to get them together in this video. Let me know what you think!

Books I mention:

My Thoughts on Selected Books:

The Winged Game — Sophie Kim ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You know that feeling when you need a book to just remind you that reading is fun? This was that book for me. It's a fantasy SPORTS romance — yes, both of those things, together, and I had no idea I needed it.

Out of Her League — Ava Rani ⭐⭐⭐
A cute, sparkly beach-day read, and I'm being honest with you the way I always am: it was a solid time, not a life-changer.

Yellowface — R.F. Kuang ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The moral of the story? White women are crazy. June steals the work of her Asian friend Athena and somehow convinces herself she's the victim.

The Girl with a Thousand Faces — Sunyi Dean ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A ghostly detective tale set in 1940s Hong Kong that unfolds into a deeper story about war's scars, revenge, and generational trauma.

Men Like Ours — Bindu Bansinath ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Set in a South Asian suburban enclave where a man is found dead, delving into community pressure.

Burn the Sea — Mona Tewari ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A book about Portuguese colonizers reimagined as giant half-snake sea monsters that touched on deep grief and strength.
