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 […]
Indian serials are famous for being laughably ridiculous and extremely dramatic. I’m here to say that all of that is true. Only the other day I saw a clip being circulated where a woman hit her head, fell neatly into a suitcase which got locked on its own and the woman was ‘accidentally’ kidnapped in […]
I don’t think there’s a single person in the bookish community who hasn’t heard of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Seriously, this book has been hyped for ages now and my thoughts at this point are a jumbled mess. I’m not always very vocal about my opinions on this series because my thoughts […]
If a year ago you’d tell me that I would be shelling out money on a regular basis to listen to audiobooks I would have laughed in your face. Audiobooks never suited me. I didn’t look down on them, I actually thought they were really cool but they never seemed to work out for me. […]
It’s not a huge secret that I’m a mess when it comes to reading series. Either I finish them in one go or linger upon them for years. On the odd occasion I do end up patiently waiting for and completing a series, authors start releasing new books in that series. *cough* Tahereh Mafi *cough* […]
You’ll be lying to yourself if you say that you’ve never judged a book by it’s cover. We all consciously or unconsciously do it and sometimes buy a book solely because of that gorgeous cover. And you know what, it’s okay. That is exactly why so much time and effort is spent on book covers. […]
Oh my god I can’t believe it’s almost 2019! Now I’m just panicking all over because I still have so much left to be done and barely 24 hours left to do it. But more than that I am anxious to write this wrap-up post. I mean how do I sum up the whole year […]
Winters are here and it’s time that we bookdragons go into hibernation within our warm blankets or next to the fireside with a pile of books and an unlimited supply of food and coffee. But often there’s a small question. What books should you read? You aren’t in the mood for horror or mystery or […]
Hi everyone! I’m s excited, this is my first post for Bookending Winter based off the prompt 2019 releases by Imogen @Imogen’s Typewriter So you read the title, this is about 2019 book releases that I am absolutely desperate to get my hands on. Like so desperate that I would sell my […]
You know those tiny paragraphs that used to be printed at the back of any book you were holding to give you an overview of what it is about so that you don’t stumble into a totally alien universe uninformed? Those are called book blurbs and they’re very important. Before we dive into exactly why […]
