When the world around us is going through such a major crisis I couldn’t just post my regularly scheduled crisis. The corona virus has hit everyone hard but we’re all fighting back and giving it the best we can. A large number of people, including me, are either government regulated or self-quarantined for their own […]
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* […]
A new month means yet another time I wish that I had a genie who would give me unlimited money to splurge on books. Because honestly, these upcoming releases are drawing me in like a magnet and I do want to support the authors, but oh my god the prices are sky high! Not to […]
There are so many amazing titles coming out this year that nobody is really able to keep track. I’m doing monthly lists of book releases but I still keep missing out on books. In these massive lists, diverse books remain hidden sometimes and I’m here to bring them in the spotlight. Today I’m going to […]

OTT PROMPT THOUGHTS YOU HAVE WHEN YOU ARE CRUSHING ON A CHARACTER Are you even a booknerd if you don’t have a crush on at least 5000 book characters? I think not. It’s an inevitable side-effect of reading books. The books steal your heart and so do certain characters, it’s completely normal, at least in […]
Honestly even as I type these words I just can’t believe that I’ve written a 100 freaking blog posts. 100 blog posts. 100 actual website pages with coherent sentences that people have read and appreciated. This is literally blowing my mind. And to top that off yesterday I hit 500 wordpress followers! I mean I […]

It’s the second day of Bookending Summer! The sun is shining brightly, the birds are chirping and my skin has cleared. Okay so the sun may be shining too brightly to the point I am blinded and the birds might just be annoying pigeons but just take my word that it’s a good summer day […]
I’m bouncing up and down with excitement now that I finally get to tell you all, Bookending Summer is officially here!

There’s still […]

And this is what this time’s Off Tangent Thoughts prompt is about. OTT PROMPT THOUGHTS YOU HAVE ON SEEING A LIBRARY/BOOKSTORE/CAFE WITH BOOKS I […]

To start off with, I’m not big on Valentines Day. It’s kind of a silly holiday which has basically been invented to market all sorts of red and pink mushy goods to us. Okay, maybe this isn’t the best way to start this post. What I mean to say is that I don’t really care […]
