There’s this meme on Maureen’s blog I’ve been eyeing for a while, it comes out every Wednesday, and this Wednesday… It had a theme I couldn’t pass up. It’s about your favorite gift, and it so happens that that gift is related to the blog, so I just couldn’t miss my chance. If you want to know more about the…

So, blogger buddies. How’s your #bookish conscience? You know what I mean. Anyone running away from this question yet? This time I’m here to talk about 5 Hopefully Not Deadly Sins of Book Blogging (I mean, I’m sure there are more, but that’s where you all come in.) I know I must confess of at least a few! And no, I’m not talking…

Some of you might remember, some of you might not… But lately, I’ve been promising to introduce my new co-blogger! Who also happens to be my boyfriend. Yes, we are a fun household! In this post, I will be interviewing him. Give him a warm welcome! And let me start the interview. Let’s all welcome my favorite crustacean Ebilshrimp to…

So I’m starting a new meme. Again. But this one’s totally awesome! (They’re all totally awesome. I didn’t say that.) It’s going to be dedicated to all those bookish problems and their solutions! It’s also all about discussion posts as well, but I wanted to make a separate column for this. Hope you enjoy the WHAT DO??? meme! And today we’re…

As you might have noticed, I have finally started writing discussion posts. It’s been a loooooong time that I’ve wanted to actually start, so I’m glad the huge list of ideas on my little notebook app is finally being put to good use (Hint: there are so much that I can’t actually see the real life stuff I wrote down on it.)…

So I know I read a lot of good books. I feel like I read a lot of good books. I’ve been having so much fun with it, and with one or two drab ones along the way, I’ve really been reading good stuff this year! (yay me, right!) But it’s not about that. It just got me thinking. Yes, I read loads of good books.…

I’ve been blog hopping a lot lately. It’s all good fun and I mostly like what I see, but… There’s this recurring problem I keep encountering. It’s just the fact that half the reviews I read spoil the book for me. This fact baffles me to the ends of the world! Like… We are reviewers, right? What is our goal? What we,…

This has got to be one of the most fun tags ever! I have been thinking of doing it for months, and I mean months, as the first time I saw it on Ditsha’s blog was way back in March! Thanks for this great idea, Ditsha! And thanks for letting me use it. The idea is, you pick 5 books with…

Now I know this is going to resonate with some of you strongly. Jackie @ Death By Tsundoku has a whole blog named after this phenomenon. Cait @ Paper Fury has mentioned to me time and again the intricacies of her delicate relationship with Gemina as well. I could pull up more examples, but you all know what I’m talking…

As I’ve been a little behind, you might not know that I’ve joined #BroodyBFFs – the Brooding YA Hero street team. It’s been great fun, except that I haven’t done a challenge yet. So here goes! Romance Tropes I… LOVEHATE. So you might know my complicated relationship with romance. Or you might not. Well, in case you don’t know, let me…
Continue Reading→I know I must be slightly late for this, and I haven’t posted a lot in general, lately, but you know – real life stuff. But I saw this on Paperfury’s blog and I thought it was really fun, so I’ve decided to do one of my own. Thanks for the tag idea, Cait! For those of you who haven’t…

Now when I think about it, including Middlemarch in my selection of 11 books I was going to read during October *might* have been slightly silly. You see, when an ebook is all you’ve got, you tend to slightly disregard the size of it. For those like me who do not know what kind of book Middlemarch is….. Well, it’s… And…

So before you become a book blogger, you always think that book blogging is the fun stuff unicorns are made of, writing about the thing you love most – books. What could be better, right? Initially, that’s what I thought too. And I still think it’s awesome, don’t get me wrong. But there’s one strange thing that happens when you…
Continue Reading→So last month, nearly all of the groups I’m in on Goodreads decided to read the books I’ve wanted to read for a long time. I was faced with a dilemma – should I try to put myself through hell to read and discuss all of them while doing my regular job, having a boyfriend to spend time with, building a…
