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 […]
In the realm of Awara, where gods, monsters, and humans exist side by side, Miuko is an ordinary girl resigned to a safe, if uneventful, existence as an innkeeper’s daughter. But when Miuko is cursed and begins to transform into a demon with a deadly touch, she embarks on a quest to reverse the curse […]
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 […]
Hello there! I’m just popping in to give you all yet another update on my academic life 🙂 Last semester was honestly amazing and I can’t believe I was on campus with my friends living a nice well-rounded life. Take me back, oof. But anyway, I have lots to talk to you all about so […]
See I’m a huge nerd. But you all already know that because you know I love to read. But maybe you don’t know how much I love board games. Literally, the moment you bring out a board game you see a different side of me emerge. I can spend hours playing board games and boy […]
Honestly, 2021 has been a great reading year for me. When I post my reading wrap-up with all the statistics you’ll see that I’ve had mostly 4 and 5 star reads. I won’t say that I got lucky, I just pick and choose the books I want to read very carefully. And I’m a huge […]
You all… 2022 is less than a month away? I’ve just lost track of time but more than that I’ve just not been preparing for the next year in terms of book releases either! I have bookmarked some 2022 book release lists but haven’t had the time to go through them. It’s something that I […]
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 […]
Not Just Fiction
