Unboxing : The Big Book Box (June)

Hello bookish people ! MY FIRST EVER SUBSCRIPTION BOX !!  I was supposed to be on a book buying ban, but instead, I ended up buying a book subscription box and other merch. I will do a separate post about the 2 other things I bought. I wanted the subscription box unboxing to be a…

Tag : The Get To Know Me Tag !

Hello !! I finally got a Twitter and an Instagram (or rather bookstagram) account !! Although I'm still trying to figure out how to convey my thoughts in 140 characters 😕 and a suitable theme for my bookstagram account [It'll probably remain theme-less (is that a valid word ?)] Anyway, my first TAG !! I found this tag on Jackie's…

Attention Potterheads !

Hello bookish people ! So, I was supposed to put up a tag this Thursday. Actually, it was supposed to be put up last Sunday, but then I realised it's father's day. Now again, this came up and I went "Oh, I have to do a post on this". Since I don't post more than…

A Thank You Note !

Hello Bookish People, Here's wishing all the DADs out there a Happy Father's Day !! 😊🙌 A small non-bookish post for today. On this very special day, I thought I'll post a thank you note to my father. This June also marks his 12th death anniversary, seemed like an ideal time for this post. Picture…

The Diversity Corner #2 : March Updates, Asian Representation, and April New Releases

Another discussion ? Ugh ! I know, but I couldn’t help it because being an Asian, this one’s important to me. This absolutely brilliant post by Puput @ sparkling letters discusses everything wrong with Asian representation in literature. Also, here’s a tip, if you don’t understand something about another culture, just ask people from that culture about it. Please don’t assume things, learn the facts. 

Let me know your thoughts down in the comments or head over to the original post and join the discussion there.

On an upcoming adaptation

I am the type of person who believes "the book is always better than the movie". It's a different rule for TV shows however. There are quite a few that are well made. So when I came across the trailer of the movie "Murder on the orient express", I was both excited and apprehensive. My…

Hello !!!

Disclaimer: It’s my first ever blog post, so please bear with me. This might be cringeworthy. Hi, Welcome to my blog. I love reading (Obviously). All my life I’ve hoped to have friends who loved reading and to share my thoughts and views about the books I read. I sure have plenty of friends, but…
