Under A Million Stars by Rita Branches
October 31, 2016October 3, 2025

Hi, I'm Hannah!

I'm an Asian-American who claimed a corner of the internet and made it mine. Up to shenanigans as a kid, and sometimes still up to shenanigans as an adult. Probably listening to K-Pop, scribbling in a journal, or exploring cozy and relaxing games. Might have a boba addiction.

I hope you'll find something of interest and stay around!

Hi friends, it's been awhile! 👋 (I've had no motivation to touch Instagram.) How is everyone? Can you believe we're halfway through the year almost?

It's also time for the Mid-Year Freakout Tag, which I personally have never done because I didn't feel like doing them. But this year as someone who listens to way too much music and definitely more #KPop than books (I've been reading a lot of webtoons and rereading), I thought it would be fun to turn the questions into a Mid-Year Freakout Tag K-Pop Edition. (And have a break from reviewing.)

*shameless self-promo to check out the blog (link in bio!) for the tag if any K-Pop fans wants to do it? 🥺👉👈*

Some Songs and Artists Mentioned in the Post:
• Excalibur by Kingdom (2021 Debut!)
• Don't Call Me by SHINee
• Let Me Know by PIXY (2021 Debut!)
• Why Why Why by iKON
• Don't Fight the Feeling by EXO
• Seoul by Ghost9
• Antidote by Kang Daniel

Just felt like popping out to say hi and to share

Just felt like popping out to say hi and to share my bullet journal layout for the rest of March because I'm biased and I think my layout is cute. 🥺👉👈 Or is it the plants? 🤔

Also I've been experimenting with layouts now that I've gotten down how I want my weeks to look after two months of doing very basic layouts to try out bullet journaling again. And I finally got some mildliners because fine point markers just aren't doing it for me. April will be more experimenting and I'm excited since I've already decided on a theme. 😌

What are you currently reading? I'm currently reading nothing since March decided, "Yes, let's repeat January 2021 and read myself out."

If you were a faery, would you be part of the summer, winter or iron court?

IT'S THE RELEASE DAY FOR THE IRON RAVEN!!!!!! I'm super excited to dive into the NeverNever once more with Puck as the main character. 💃

(Not me dropping out of Instagram for two months and then come out screaming about the book birthday of one of my favorite authors. I'll see you all two months. 😂)

🧚‍♂️ YA Readers: what book got you into YA? Or if you don't read YA, what book got you into your favorite genre?*

For me Julie Kagawa's IRON FEY will always be near and dear to my heart because it's the first book I remember that got me into reading YA and she's one of my favorite authors! It's been a whole DECADE** since I've read Kagawa's debut novel, but with The Iron Raven coming out soon (!!!), I figured it would be a good time to try out this whole rereading thing and uh... jog that memory. Because I've definitely forgotten a lot of things. 🙊

*Fantasy is my favorite genre but that ship sailed way back when I was around six and far more chaotic.

Hi friends! What books have you finished lately?

Hi friends!

What books have you finished lately? Or, if you're not in the mood to read lately, what do you hope to read soon? Or since I just realized it's the last day of November, what's on your December TBR?

(Can't blame you if you're not in the mood; I too am not in mood and it's been hard. But it's okay, you're still valid. 🤗 Also I'd ask the TBR question tomorrow but I'd like to not post daily and be exhausted from Instagram.)

I recently finished THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS, which is a stunning debut from Chloe Gong, and SHINE, which is well... we won't get into Jessica Jung's debut novel.

Happy Friday! What Shakespeare play have you never

Happy Friday! What Shakespeare play have you never liked or had a love/hate relationship with but would totally 100% read a retelling of?

THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS is one of my most anticipated releases and it is EVERYTHING that I want in a book. Here's a rundown of what Chloe Gong's debut novel features:
🗡️ Enemies to lovers
🗡️ 1920s Shanghai
🗡️ Romeo & Juliet retelling
🗡️ Excellent character relationships
🗡️ Vividly detailed setting

Thanks mom for peeping in and deciding red roses are a better fit for these photos without even reading the synopsis. 😂 (Nailed it though.)

Drop by the blog (link in bio!) to read the full review for the blog tour hosted by Caffeine Book Tours, more photos (sans mom commentary), and a chance to win a copy of this beautiful debut novel!

Let's talk about accomplishments! What are you proud of lately?

I feel like something has lifted recently, although there's a lot to be done still; we'll see how long this will last (for me personally). Hopefully not for a week and then the urge to perpetually nap comes up. 😴

RECENTLY FOR ME:
• I took new Instagram photos! I finally dusted off dust from my props after who knows how long.
• Currently reading SEND ME THEIR SOULS by Sara Wolf fora blog tour and I'm halfway through. 💃 I've been unmotivated lately in the reading department. 😞
• I wrote two reviews over the weekend. I haven't written one in like a month?
• Cleaned out inactive email subscribers, spam comments and a few old blog posts. There was quite a bit of deleting but I'm now about 260 posts of reformatting until freedom. 🥳
• Caught up with replying to comments AND blog hopping. I'm finally getting around to visiting new blogs?!?!

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Time to spook some friends and cause chaos. 😈 I hope you'll all stay safe. (And hopefully no murder reality shows actually pop up like the one in #MurderFunding?)

OCTOBER IN A NUTSHELL:
I swear, I tried reading. And I tried blogging. It didn't really happen because I think I slept and played games more often this month???

BUT I think I'm finally getting SOME motivation since I've been wanting to give my landing page and media kit a long overdue makeover.

Anyways, how was your October?

P.S. I've definitely not gone to the library due to reasons but I definitely took this pic last year.
