So, if you’ve read my October 2025 post, then you’ll know that this was the book of the month for the March 2024 Illumicrate book subscription box. My scheduling for a few of my blog posts has been all over the place (I’m working on it!) so my review of the book of the monthContinueContinue reading “Illumicrate March 2024 Book Review: Fathomfolk by Eliza Chan”

Book Review: Witness by Louise Milligan
I picked up this novel around the time I was about to graduate from law back in 2023. My favourite indie online bookstore had it on sale and the title caught my attention. So, after reading the blurb, I was sold. I’ve read a lot of non-fiction but I don’t think I review as manyContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Witness by Louise Milligan”
Illumicrate Monthly Subscription Box: May 2024 Unboxing
Another extremely late unboxing. If you’ve read my last Illumicrate blog post, then you’ll know why this is incredibly late. If you haven’t then this is the reason: I had to reorganise and reschedule some blog posts to make way for some other preferred posts. So, all of my Illumicrate posts ended up being pushedContinueContinue reading “Illumicrate Monthly Subscription Box: May 2024 Unboxing”
Book Review: Spin The Dawn by Elizabeth Lim
I fell in love with Elizabeth Lim’s writing a while ago when I read Six Crimson Cranes. I saw a lot of rave reviews of this novel (which came out earlier). So, after years of having Spin The Dawn on my TBR list, I finally got around to reading it. So, here is my review:ContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Spin The Dawn by Elizabeth Lim”
Book Review: Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield
Katherine Mansfield’s Miss Brill was a short story that one of my English teachers liked so much that she made my class read and briefly study it. Back in high school, I did not understand the point of this story – I didn’t really want to, I found it so incredibly boring at the time.ContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield”
Book Review: King of Greed by Ana Huang
Romance novels have been EVERYWHERE these last few years. I do read some romance novels every now and then but I generally prefer fantasy or mystery novels. So, I don’t often reach out for a romance. However, I have a friend who has read plenty of Ana Huang’s novels, so when I saw King ofContinueContinue reading “Book Review: King of Greed by Ana Huang”
Celebrity Book Review: Dua Lipa’s Recommendation: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
I consistently followed the first two seasons of Dua Lipa’s podcast and I generally loved a lot of he guests and topics that were discussed on it. One of the topics was of course, this novel. Dua Lipa had an entire episode dedicated to Min Jin Lee and her novels, mainly Pachinko. This novel hadContinueContinue reading “Celebrity Book Review: Dua Lipa’s Recommendation: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee”
Book Review: The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma
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”
