TW: We discuss assault and abuse.


In this season of Thanksgiving, we are thankful for the folks that read books. One of which is book influencer and BookToker Shincy Shegu. Shincy is a med student, newlywed, and book lover who is living in London. In her own words, "I spend my days balancing the responsibilities of medical school and my ever growing TBR shelf. I grew up on a steady diet of Bollywood and Xena Warrior Princess so it comes as no surprise that my favorite genres are fantasy and romance. While I've lived in many cities across the world I have the heart of a Philly girl through and through. I am currently roaming along the English countryside living out all my bookish dreams."


We talk romance, diversity, and the top books to read before the end of the year.
