Another Isabel Ibañez masterpiece! I loved this book, maybe more than the first one. Filled with South American culture, Spanish, loveable characters and phenomenal world-building. Also, is anyone else crazily in love with the cover of these books? Isabel illustrates them herself and they’re so so beautiful! Written In Starlight is the second novel set […]
Mehendi. The fragrance of it is reminiscent of happy times, festivals, days out, weddings. Fresh, earthy, tinged with a musk of sorts. In this day, we put mehendi or henna only when an occasion requires it, the designs, artistic peacocks and swirly, swishy nets that span the back of our hands and palms. It signifies […]
In 2013 I picked up the first novel in Morgan Rhodes’s Falling Kingdom Series and I fell in love. I loved the story and the setting. But the series wasn’t over and in the many years it took for her to release all 6 books, I had lost interest and rereading the first book over […]
So after A Sky Beyond The Storm I’ve been a bit depressed. My most anticipated read of the year didn’t pan out and Goodreads told me my average book ratings this year were around a 3.6. So it’s basically been an average reading year. At any rate my go to in these sort of depressed […]
A few weeks ago I heard they were turning popular YA duology, Tiny Pretty Things into a Netflix show. I’m a huge TV critic (in my small social circle that is) and I’m usually quite brutal, so I knew I would end up watching it which is why I had to read the book first. […]
I was sent by my high school for a competition, in senior year (2017) a literature festival of sorts, the theme of which was mystery and thriller. There were a number of events (in which I am proud to announce we won a position in every single one). But for our main presentation my best […]
Complimenting my previous post Shades on Delhi~ (https://thezoyaproject.com/2020/10/21/shades-of-september-discovering-the-color-of-delhi/) and it’s artwork here are the books I read, to understand the character, history and secrets of my beloved city. Delhi isn’t just a city, she is a character, just as she is in my life. Delhi, by Khushwant Singh Twilight in Delhi, by Ahmed Ali The […]
I quite enjoyed this book by Katherine McGee. Her previous series lost me at book one, but that might have also been the fact that it took three years for the entire series to come out. So I’m glad I picked this up right before I picked up Majesty. This was a very new concept. […]
This was such a sweet romance! It was a light read, perfect to pass an afternoon. It’s funny and romantic and filled with drama. It’s a perfect romantic comedy. A Girl Like You by Gemma Burgess came out years ago in 2011. I’m picking it up now because lately I’ve been in the mood for […]
This book was phenomenal. I loved it, adored it, enjoyed it to the fullest. Everything about it was so appealing from the cover to the description (Mulan is one of my favourite movies!). So I had to review it. Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim came out earlier this year and it follows girl tailor […]
