Hello there! Does the title of this post sound familiar? It’s because I did a very similar post: My Sister Blurbs Books Based On Their Covers a while ago. I had so much fun writing the post and it did crack a lot of you up so I decided to go at it again, except […]
Hello everyone! Don’t you ever feel that sometimes we readers are so engrossed in the book community that we fail to realise how ignorant others are? Like at this point I can tell you the vibe of a book based off a book cover and give an idea of the genre and age group as […]
Clichés and tropes are the foundation of every story, whether good or bad. You can’t just take them away because every story has them. And sometimes the reason we pick up a book or love a story is because of these tropes. I mean who doesn’t love a good enemies to lovers when done right? […]
Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing well, June was a bit of an ups and downs month for me and it’s all been so busy that I didn’t even realise July is already here. But then that’s me almost every month, hehe. Time has no meaning. Anyway, I’ve got lots to talk about so […]
Honestly where has this year gone but also can it go any faster? I would like for 2021 to be over now, thank you very much. I’ve been trying to get this post up since the past week but something keeps coming up and as I write this I really hope I can finally hit […]
Hello and welcome back for the fourth edition of the Indian Lit Readathon! We had a really great response last year and an absolutely amazing time making the readathon happen. And like every year, we’re back – bigger and better. The format of our readathon changes a bit every year but the spirit remains the […]
Hello everyone! If you’re a regular here on the blog or happen to follow me on any social media you’ll quickly realise that I’m not a huge non-fiction person. What can I say, I have my own preferences and I rarely trudge into the waters of non-fiction but you know the one author I always […]
I know people hate it when anyone says it’s not you, it’s me but hear me out. As a reader do you ever come across a book that you really didn’t like but at the same time you can acknowledge that it’s because of your personal preferences and a majority of other readers might love […]
As I write this post I am finally done with the spring semester! I just submitted my last assignment yesterday which was a whooping 20k of translated words. What a ride. I definitely discovered a new passion this semester: translating. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not easy. In fact at times it can be the […]
Happy World Book Day everyone! I mean you had to expect a post from me today, who even am I if I’m not posting on a day where the whole world celebrates books? Granted I’m writing this as I furiously prep for my exams but whatever, everything is fine. I’ve been reading since so freaking […]
Everyone keeps asking whether I’m a tea or coffee lover and I say both! I didn’t like tea until a few years ago, only because I hadn’t been introduced to the concept of teas brewed with water instead of milk. Since then I’ve been on a tea craze of sorts as I try every type […]
Raise your hand if the lack of blurbs on the back of books drives you crazy. It’s all of us, right? I mean I can rant on this topic for ages, I don’t want praise for the book or quotes from authors and what not, just tell me what the goddamn book is about! I […]
I’ll be honest, I don’t always pay much attention to the author of a book when I’m reading. It’s only after I finish a book that I look up the author, their other works and the social media. Of course, there are exceptions but that’s not what I’m here to talk about today. Sometimes I’ll […]
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, […]
Well hello, it’s the month of love! Okay, I kinda cringed while writing that but whatever. It’s February which has a single day called Valentine’s Day which in turn has made everyone declare this the month of love so that we can have sickly sweet candies and everything in the shape of a heart and […]
I like to start every year by picking up one book that I know will blow my brains out. The Infinity Courts was my first read as well as the first 5 star book of 2021 but more that that, it was a book that left me screaming and reeling. I’m still not over this […]
Every bookworm has a dream to have an expansive and aesthetic library like the one in Beauty and the Beast. I mean that’s why we watch the movie, to drool over that library, right? Ahem, my point is, libraries are a haven. And what better to have a personal library with cosy nooks and a […]
Hello and welcome to Not Just Fiction 3.0! I can’t even begin to try and explain how happy and relieved and absolutely ecstatic I am to reveal this new look for the blog. I’ve been working to get my blog to this aesthetic for ages now and it has finally happened, that too in time […]
I’ve been placing too many expectations on myself lately to read all the possible books so today I decided to put the expectations on books 🙂 I keep seeing everyone do 5 star predictions for their books which is so exciting like hello predicting the future? Count me in, I would like to predict something […]
I mean, the easy answer is hell yes. I buy all these pretty and shiny books and I can’t stop smiling the whole day. There’s just something exciting about getting your hands on a book that you are eager to read and getting that new book smell…. Okay, I’m back. I just had to smell […]
