Often I feel, mythology teaches us so much about life that we seldom take the time to learn. It shows us the immensities of the world that we are incapable of understanding through characters who live through great wars and tragic romances and shoulder burdens that seem to be so heavy they can break the […]

So it is for me, a travesty that I hadn’t read this before now. This book is a work of art. If I didn’t believe that harming books in any manner is a human sin I would love to wallpaper my room with my favorite pages and scenes from The Night Circus. It is a […]

What does it mean to be a woman? We have been pressed and moulded into what society expects of us so many times that it seems almost inexplicable to know what it means to be a woman. A woman worthy of love. One worthy of respect. What does it take to be the woman who […]

My mother always told me that the sound the ocean made was the song of drowned sailors. She sang her story in her lilting voice as we sat on the white sand warmed by the sweltering sunlight upon our cheeks.That rolling expanse of deep blue hums with power as it lilts back and forth. As […]

It’s also a content-heavy first novel so I had forgotten what had happened by the time Lady Thief […]

I am finally revisiting this book after years. Mainly because I finally want to read the sequel. I first read this in 2013, and I wasn’t too familiar with how to find out when the sequel would be arriving. The cliffhanger this book ends with me gutted me, so many years later once all three […]

Sabaa Tahir has officially destroyed me. Let me start by saying, that I’ve been waiting for A Reaper at the Gates for about a year, since I read Torch in May 2017. And I have now finished Reaper in three hours on my first ever solo girls trip in Europe on a train from the […]
