I love being a part of the book community. Ever since I got onto social media and started blogging I’ve grown so much as a person and learnt so many new things. Every day I get to share my thoughts and reading interests and talk with other readers. It’s so much fun and I’m honestly […]
Our August BOTM is Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust, a Persian mythology inspired sapphic fantasy featuring a queer main character and side character as well. A captivating and utterly original fairy tale about a girl cursed to be poisonous to the touch, and who discovers what power might lie in such a curse… There was and […]
When I first joined Goodreads I absolutely loved reviewing books. Oh you want my unfiltered opinion on how much this book meant to me? I will provide you with a one page long list of everything amazing full with exclamation marks and all caps letters! But then I started to realise that reviews needed a […]

Hello there! No, you’re not on the wrong blog, I’m actually doing a discussion post. Yes, it’s been like a year but I honestly have no idea how that happened. I guess I just lost track. And I miss discussion posts. It’s so much fun to write all my thoughts on a topic and […]
Hello and welcome to the March spotlight of Read the Rainbow! In February we saw so many amazing queer book releases, it was impossible to choose just one as our BOTM. Hence we ended up picking two books: Belle Révolte and The Sound of Stars. That means a double treat for all of you eager […]

OTT PROMPT THOUGHTS YOU HAVE WHEN A BOOK HAS TOO MUCH DESCRIPTION We’ve all read books where the author goes on to describe a setting for ten pages to the point where your eyes are burning and you’re already snoring. It’s such a common struggle and this time’s OTT post is the perfect way to […]
What is one of the first things you do when you pick up a book? Me? I personally try to figure out the genre, even before I read the blurb so that I can tell what kind of a book it is going to be. But not everyone is like that. Many people don’t mind […]
Hello everyone! It’s day three of me being a host for Bookending Spring and I’m clutching for dear life because I don’t want to let go. I like this too much! Ahem, I clearly need help Today’s topic is one that we can hold an intense discussion on and whatever your stance may be, remember […]
Yes, you read that right. I was so shocked when I first found out about this! And I swear this isn’t click-bait or anything like that. I rubbed my eyes twice and did my research and apparently this is a thing and I am simply enraged. Hold on for a minute, I’m giving you all […]
Earlier you would find booknerds with broken backs and an unending stack of their to-be-read books that they carry with them, which would ultimately result in their death. As if that wasn’t enough there is an added weight of ARCs that we run after like crazy and then promptly stash on our TBR piles. Am […]
And I’m back to host another discussion on a topic I’ve recently been thinking a lot about.
So you’ve bought a book that you know is going to totally sweep you off your feet or maybe you just started it and absolutely know that this is going to destroy you(in good ways)
Now the question is do you take your sweet time and let every pore of your body absorb its contents or do you eagerly take it all in without even glancing at the clock?
Meaning do you savor the good books or gobble them down?
