I’m trying to remember when was the last time I could have said I had a good month. Like all good or mostly good. It’s certainly been a while… Even now I struggle to believe the beautiful month that was April. Tons of things happened in April. It wasn’t just fun outings and parties and […]

Hello there! If you’ve been around for a while you might be aware that I don’t know when exactly I started blogging. Let’s just say WordPress can be a bitch and all I’ve ever known is that my blog anniversary falls somewhere in January. So… what am I doing here right now? Instead of picking […]
Right off the bat, I seem to be suffering from amnesia and delusion. What was March? Was it really 31 days or like 10? I have no memory of time passing and everything has sort of fused together. Sigh. This sort of gives you an idea of how my March was? I legit went through […]
I completely forgot this was the month of February, as in I completely forgot there were just 28 days of madness. Seriously, the time has just disappeared over the past month with something or the other happening every other day. I mean I was definitely not bored but I’m left craving some peace and quiet. […]
Readathons are like cookies, I can never stop at one. Or cakes. Or doughnuts. Crap, now I want doughnuts.

I have signed up for readathons […]

Hello February! I have half a mind to convert these into quarterly wrap-ups but we’ll see how well I can keep up with the monthly wrap-ups. I dropped the ball towards the end of last year because my life was an absolute rollercoaster but hopefully it can be more smooth-going this year. As it is, […]
Pssst! I can’t believe it’s been a year since the last update on this feature. In my defence, I truly thought that I had given an update the previous semester but I guess my blog isn’t lying… Time just really slipped away from me, let’s just go with that. As a refresher, although who is […]
Towards the end of 2022, I really dived into middle-grade books. I realised that middle-grade books these days are so complex, and well-written and manage to tackle so many important themes in a digestible manner for kids. What’s best is that they manage to do it in less than 500 pages. Lately, I have many […]

Hi everyone! Gosh, it’s been ages since I wrote here. I realise that I never properly announced that I would be taking a break except for maybe a post on Twitter but the last few months were extremely hectic for me. I knew there was no way I could write and check in with you […]

Hello there! If you’re here I’m eternally grateful because it’s surprising that people are here even with my mysterious and irregular posting schedule. To read a wrap-up post. Wow. Like not me crying over the fact that I’ll be posting two wrap-ups in a row… It has been a whirlwind of a month and I’m […]
When I say this has been the most chaotic month this year, I really mean it. I’ve just been extremely busy lately and I’m sure you can see that reflected on my blog… this is not how I had planned for things to go but it’s a classic case of my overachieving self thinking I […]
