I know it’s one of the most cliched things to say, but honestly I felt like this past month of May quite literally flew by within the blink of an eye. Of-course I don’t mean literally (in the earlier sentence) in the literal sense, but hey you know what I mean! That being said, it…

The (Super Delayed) Goals Post for the 2nd Quarter of 2018

As the title indicates, this is my super-delayed goals post for the second quarter of 2018. Now of-course I always mean to set goals and publish this post right at the beginning of any quarter. But this time, during the beginning of the quarter, I was on a blogging break, and after that on vacation…

I am back from the blogging break, which means it’s back to regularly scheduled programming around here. And that my friends means a Chatty Blogs post (and linky) on the 15th of every month, so here it is! Having said that, to be honest, when I sat down to write this post, I was at a…

3 Book To Screen Blockbusters Reviewed

If you’ve been following this blog, you know that early in the year I did a post on 10 Book to Movie Adaptations coming out in 2018. I had originally written the post as a resource for you guys, but as it happens it’s proven super useful for myself, to keep a track of all…

How I did on my Goals for the First Quarter of the Year?

Hello folks, I am back! I am officially done with the blogging break (which by the way was extremely relaxing and rejuvenating), so now you can expect to see me here every single week, going back to my regular posting schedule, talking about books & blogging, like I always do. 🙂 Having said that, going…

April 2018 – The Month That Was

It’s the end of the month (well, almost) which means it’s time for the monthly gratitude post – the one thing I haven’t missed writing even when I have been on a break from blogging. Mostly because writing this post (or rather the notes for this post on my phone – all month long) keeps…

March 2018 – The Month That Was #GratitudePost

I am technically on a ‘blogging break’, so I shouldn’t even be here doing this, but after writing the monthly recap/gratitude posts for the past couple of months, I have to say that I am well and truly addicted to them. Especially because more than anything else, these posts have helped me see the great…

February 2018 – The Month That Was #GratitudePost

February has been an interesting month. It was the month when I ditched my plans, to work on something completely different, and this was definitely a novel experience for me, because normally I am a very plan-your-work-and-work-your-plan kind of person. However, you know how it is when an idea takes root in your mind, especially…

Prem Purana by Usha Narayanan | Book Review

I love to read this genre of historical fiction (which some may call mythology – which I don’t agree with; long story for another day), but it’s been a long time since I actually read any book in this genre, and so when Prem Purana by Usha Narayanan was offered for review, I just had…
