In my last post here, I shared why I stopping posting my Quarterly Goals (and updates) on the blog. It was easily one of the most difficult posts to write for me. Because not only did it involve me talking about things I struggle to admit even to myself, but I was also nervous about…

Why Do You Blog? For Passion or For Profit? #ChattyBlogs
Why do you blog? – It’s a question I have been asked often. And I have answered it multiple times too. Though of-course as time passed my reasons changed and so did my answers. But recently when I was answering this question (for what seemed like the 100th time) the thing that truly stood out…
On Coming Back From a Blogging Break and Vacation Recap #ChattyBlogs May Linky
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…

Quarterly Goals Update + Food Blog Sneak Peek #ChattyBlogs December Linky
I know this is like a super-delayed 3rd quarter update, considering that we are pretty much at the end of the 4th and final quarter of the year, but I just had to put this out there before the end of this year, so that I can start 2018 with a clean slate, and not…
2 Books I Skipped to Watch Their Screen Adaptations
I know that many book lovers consider it to be a cardinal sin to watch the screen adaptation before reading the book. However this post is not about that. It’s really about books I intentionally skipped (I am sure this sounds worse, but hear me out) for watching their screen adaptations, either because I just…
A Glimpse Into My Life – October 2017 #ChattyBlogs October Linky
This is the kind of post I’ve been meaning to do/write from some time now, but you know procrastination – yadda yadda yadda. And I say ‘kind of’, because originally I was planning to do a ‘Day In The Life’ Post, but then I changed my mind, as I felt that this current format will…
Catch-Up Over Coffee #3 | #ChattyBlogs September Linky
It’s been a long time since I did a random chatty post. I mean of-course I host the #ChattyBlogs linky every single month, but if you’ve noticed, it’s never a random ramble-y post. I almost always focus on a particular topic, whether it is about me going through the blogger version of an existential crisis,…
On Unhauling Books and Indian Authors in American Libraries
Last week I decided to do a little bookshelf clean-out, and while I was sorting through the books I wanted to keep, and the ones I wanted to pass on, I found myself in a dilemma of sorts. So I thought why not ask for the public opinion on this one, as I am sure…
Reading Goals 2017 – Mid-Year Update | #ChattyBlogs July Linky
The middle of the year is here, which means it’s time for the half-yearly check-in on my reading goals. Now as I write this, I haven’t yet taken stock, but I have a fair idea of what is to come, and I don’t think it’s going to be very pretty, as I have had a…
