February Binge-Watching Wrap-up: It’s Been A Busy Month

ImageMarch 3, 2021 CharviLeave a comment

February has been tiring. Loads of workload on the academic front and honestly Wednesdays are terrible. I hate Wednesdays and I’m writing this on a Wednesday so I might sound slightly rambly. Yes I invented a word, deal with it. I honestly wasn’t able to watch much this month because I didn’t get the time, […]

4 Reasons to Read Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me

ImageJanuary 14, 2021 Charvi7 Comments

Goodreads Blurb: The day they got together was the best one of Freddy’s life, but nothing’s made sense since. Laura Dean is popular, funny, and SO CUTE … but she can be really thoughtless, even mean. Their on-again, off-again relationship has Freddy’s head spinning — and Freddy’s friends can’t understand why she keeps going back. […]

Hello, today I’ll be reviewing the much anticipated adaptation of When Dimple Met Rishi, called Mismatched! But I feel like I must warn you that you’re in for a long bumpy ride here.

Sometimes I read a book and wonder how I would have reacted to it as a kid. There are so many books that I’m late in getting to because unfortunately I can’t read all the books in the world. So this Children’s Day I’m making a list of all the books I wish I had […]

Hello there! Are you another victim of Twitter who has given up their life to constantly scroll through your feed?
