Book Review

Book Review: In the Darkness of Shards by Catherine Anne Castillo

In the Darkness of Shards is a collection of poems that feels very personal and intimate. Through these poems, the author slowly unfolds a story. Beginning with love, moving through the emotions and experiences that come with it, and eventually reaching a place of self-realisation and healing. The poems trace the journey of a woman… Continue reading Book Review: In the Darkness of Shards by Catherine Anne Castillo

Book Review: Kulti by Mariana Zapata

Kulti is the second book I read by Mariana Zapata after The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, and this book completely took my heart. Nobody does slow burn like Mariana Zapata. She takes her time building the characters, their connection, and the emotions, and by the time the romance finally happens, it feels earned and… Continue reading Book Review: Kulti by Mariana Zapata

Women Who Inspire, On Pages and Beyond

Books have always been one of the most beautiful ways to understand the strength, vulnerability, humour, and resilience of women. Through stories, we meet women who fight, love fiercely, rebuild themselves, challenge norms, and sometimes simply choose themselves, and each of these journeys leaves a mark on us as readers. Some of the most memorable… Continue reading Women Who Inspire, On Pages and Beyond

Thrifted Book Haul

There’s something about thrifted books that just hits differently. The smell, the slightly worn-out edges, the feeling that this book has already lived a life before coming to you… unmatched.

Book Review: The Favor by Suzanne Wright

This book is the first one I read by Suzanne Wright, and I instantly fell in love. Why did I not read this earlier? Another regret officially added to my list. The Favor had everything I adore in a romance book. A sassy heroine, a silent-but-lethal hero, sharp banter, sizzling tension, and so many moments… Continue reading Book Review: The Favor by Suzanne Wright

My March TBR

I can’t believe we are already in the third month of 2026. Time really flies. March feels like a reset. Festivals like Holi and Navratri, too many birthdays in the circle, and of course, spring season. A little softer, a little slower and hopefully, a lot more productive in terms of reading. Two books from… Continue reading My March TBR

Monthly TBR Check-In: February

As always, February too started with a plan. A very organised, very optimistic plan. But, of course, who follows the plan? Here’s my little monthly reading diary of what I planned, what I actually read, what I added impulsively (because of course I did!), and what got pushed to March. The Original February TBR was:… Continue reading Monthly TBR Check-In: February
