Convincing you to read my favourite books based on the first line

Hi all! So there's a trend going around BookTok at the moment where people "convince" you to read books based on the first line. I thought this was such a great idea that I had to make my own post about it! But I'm going to be featuring my favourite books. Hope you find a …

Recommending Books Based on Lady Gaga’s Chromatica

Hi all! So in case you somehow missed it, Lady Gaga's sixth studio album Chromatica was released on Friday and myself and the internet lost our damn minds. This album is already iconic -- I can hear the similarities with Born This Way and Artpop, but it's more disco. It's definitely something you can dance …

My Favourite Fantasy Standalones

Hi all! You all know I love fantasy books -- it's my favourite genre. But I do understand why not a lot of people enjoy fantasy books: most of these genre books are in a series; the worldbuilding can be confusing (especially when it develops over multiple books); and sometimes people just don't like following …

My Best Books of the Decade Part 3 – Adult Fiction

Hi all! The long-awaited (by two days) part 3 of my best books of the decade -- adult fiction! This year especially I noticed that my reading tastes have changed and skewed towards adult fiction, which is hard for me being a YA book blogger, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Which is …

Books I Want To Reread

Hi all! So I've been in a very nostalgic mood the past few months and I've slowly started to reread a bunch of my favourite romance novels. Books I've reread include Wolfsong and Ravensong by TJ Klune, the Tales from Verania series by TJ Klune and Captive Prince trilogy by C.S. Pacat. I've recently gotten into audiobooks so its very easy for me to …

Best Books of 2018

This is probably one of the hardest posts I've ever written because choosing my favourite books that I read last year is tough. I read 175 books last year and when I sat down and started choosing the best reads, my list came to 36 books. Originally, I was going to write up three blog …

My 2018 In Books & Blogging

Happy New Year! Who can believe it's already 2019? I certainly can't. This year is going to be an unpredictable one as I have now finished my Master's degree and will be looking for a full-time job. Here's hoping I manage to secure one! Please send good thoughts my way. But enough about 2019. Let's …

November Wrap Up: The Month I Went to America

Hi all! November is over in the blink of an eye! I can't believe it! I just got back from my 2-week holiday in the US, which is why my wrap-up is a little late! I'm sorry I haven't been around as much this month, I've been away since the 20th and all of my …

My Ultimate Best Bookshelf a.k.a My Favourite Books of All Time

Hi all! Let me just get this out of the way: I'm that type of weirdo who loves going through their Goodreads shelves because it's a calming experience / it makes me feel really good looking at how neat and ordered my shelves are. Please tell me this is something you also do?? Please? Anyway, …

Review: Circe by Madeline Miller

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform …
