One day the algorithm blessed me and helped me discover Aparna Verma’s novel. I found her on TikTok and I LOVED the way she promoted this novel and that is essentially how I ended up reading this story. While it is a little bit terrifying that the algorithm knew exactly what I am interested inContinueContinue reading “Book Review: The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma”

Book Review: Custody by Manju Kapur
So, if you’re Indian and/or if you have ever watched Star Plus then you may be familiar with this novel already. Yeh Hai Mohabbatein (trans. This is love) was a really popular Indian soap opera that ran for roughly 7-8 years. This soap opera was also based on the novel Custody by Manju Kapur. Now,ContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Custody by Manju Kapur”
Book Review: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
This may be an unpopular opinion but I am actually not a huge fan of classical novels. I do have a few favourites but I usually I find myself not enjoying these types of novels. Alas, I’m taking an English class at university which is dedicated to Jane Austen and her novels; so, I wasContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen”
Celebrity Book Review: Harry Styles’ Recommendation: Three Women by Lisa Taddeo
So, this novel is actually recommended by Harry Styles AND Dua Lipa! While I originally discovered this novel by looking into what Harry Styles recommends, Dua Lipa interviewed the author on her podcast At Your Service (note that it is an old episode. I’ve been listening to Dua Lipa’s podcast every now and then andContinueContinue reading “Celebrity Book Review: Harry Styles’ Recommendation: Three Women by Lisa Taddeo”
Book Review: All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir
Sabaa Tahir was an author I had heard of, however, I never actually picked up any of her books until now. My TBR list is so long and ever-growing that it, evidently, took a while before I picked up one of her novels. Now that I have read one of her novels, I am soContinueContinue reading “Book Review: All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir”
Book Review: Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head: Poems by Warsan Shire
I am a huge fan of Beyoncé and I have been for many years. So, when I heard that Warsan Shire collaborated with Beyoncé on Lemonade and Black is King, I knew I had to read some of her work. Shire is a poet and around the time I discovered her (which was NOT whenContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head: Poems by Warsan Shire”
Book Review: How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
I discovered this novel from GoodReads back in 2022. This novel was nominated for a Goodreads award and I was curious about it. The cover was gorgeous and the title was intriguing. I don’t remember if I read the blurb, but I did see the cover a lot. And by now, I think we canContinueContinue reading “Book Review: How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu”
Book Review: Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia (writer) and Gabriel Picolo (illustrator)
I am a HUGE fan of the Titans from DC and coincidentally, I’ve been following Gabriel Picolo on social media for years. I love his DC artwork. His work mainly centres around the Titans and since Starfire and Nightwing are two of my favourites (Wonder Woman is also my favourite but she’s not a Titan),ContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia (writer) and Gabriel Picolo (illustrator)”
Book Review: East Side Voices edited by Helena Lee
Ever since I watched Crazy Rich Asians, I always thought Gemma Chan was so elegant and graceful and so I have been a fan of hers ever since. A few years ago, she was posting about an essay she wrote for an anthology. Without knowing what the anthology collection was about, I added the novelContinueContinue reading “Book Review: East Side Voices edited by Helena Lee”

My Goodreads says that my average rating is 3.5 stars so when I say IContinueContinue reading “Some of my Favourite Books of All Time”
