I have been hearing so much about this book it’s crazy. It was all over my Instagram and all over my Goodreads and so about a month ago I was in New York and had a free day so I decided to buy it and go to town. I now know why this book is […]

This book is phenomenal. From the first page to the very last word, it is absolutely magnificent. My mother compiled Russian Fairytales for me when I was five and she used to read them with me helping me out with the big words. Reading this book feels like reliving those in a far more immersive […]

Okay so it wasn’t a cliffhanger but I think I’m dead. Because the next book isn’t out for ANOTHER YEAR. I don’t know how I will survive. Sabaa Tahir is inflicting such sweet torture on me. This review contains spoilers for An Ember In The Ashes. Proceed at your own risk. So the book picks […]

I don’t know why I was putting this off for so long. Because I think this has become my official favourite book. It’s right up there with Harry Potter and Percy Jackson which is an extremely hard task to accomplish. Sabaa Tahir is a magician and I would sell my soul to have known this […]

That annoying noise you hear? It’s me lording this book over everyone else because I GOT AN ARC!!! Thank you to one of my favorite favorite favorite authors for sending me this Advanced Copy! Baaz written by Anuja Chauhan (the greatest Indian author, in my opinion) was the story of Ishaan and Tehmina set in […]

So let me start by saying how much I appreciate reading this now, as compared to then when I read it at 13. This book is definitely for a maturer audience and I am so thankful for my naivety that I didn’t understand the horrible parts of it, because I’d have been disturbed for days. […]

Has anyone ever been in a reading slump that they desperately wish to escape? My go to in such situations are always old books, usually romance and sometimes my old friends, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. But there is one book I turn to in almost every sad slump, when no one is releasing anything […]

War is always the worst on the women. That’s what they say. They face the brunt of it. The loss is primarily theirs. The treatment afterwards is primarily theirs with the threat of rape and capture looming over their heads. War is always the worst for the women even when they aren’t at the frontline, […]

As my junior year of high school comes to a close, so does studying this novel. The year started with the horror stories surrounding the dreaded prescribed reading – “The Shadow Lines” by Amitav Ghosh originally published in 1988. I was all prepared to hate it, and pleasantly surprised when I didn’t. I loved it. […]

So I’ve put off reading this book for years. It’s on all the window displays at bookstores and every year when the next book in the series has been released it comes back to the deals section with the bright yellow ‘buy 2 get 1 free’ sticker stuck to the lovely cover. But there are […]
