Movies and tv shows that get adapted from books are always a hotly debated topic. The on-screen story is almost never wholly true to the books. In fact, most book lovers are deathly scared that book-to-movie adaptations will ruin their beloved stories on-screen for both the fan base and the unknowing viewers who haven’t read […]

A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy Lin had been one of my most anticipated releases for this year. Partly because of the gorgeous cover, partly because it’s basically a magical competition but mostly because of the tea. As a tea-lover, I was absolutely delighted to hear of a book with magic being carried out […]
Hello everyone! Bear with me because this post is going to be a bit different. I honestly don’t know how the formatting will be because I’ve just been procrastinating on this for the longest time and I really want to put this post out there without the pressure of making everything aesthetic and well-formatted so […]
For the past couple of years, I’ve been writing a character appreciation post every Valentine’s Day. I feel it’s better than just recommending romance books (there’s nothing wrong with doing that, I just don’t read that much romance). And even though I decided to do something different this year by talking about romance books I […]
For the shortest month in the year, there was so much happening in February. That being said, whenever my life gets busy my reading and watching stuff takes a dip, as one would expect. Either way, I have lots to talk about, starting with how good this month was. In fact, the past couple of […]

Lord help me when I get obsessed with a book. I think about it constantly and literally bring it up in every freaking conversation. I’ve literally had to cut down on some of the recommendations for this post because I realised I’ve been screaming about recommending them in every other post. Which is not something […]
Hello and welcome back to another post where I show my highlights for a book. You all know Matt Haig is one of my favourite authors and while he writes in both fiction and self-help genres. Almost all of his works centre around or have themes of mental health and anxiety. It’s actually a difficult topic to […]
