Hello hello, it’s that time of the year again, when we take stock of the year gone by, and set new goals for the year ahead. So staying true to the spirit of the season, I am here sharing My Reading Goals for 2019. If you know me, you know that I am a committed…
Hello folks, it’s the last few days of the year, so it’s about time to review the reading goals I had set for 2017. To begin with, I must say that I had a decent reading year, not as great as 2016, but not bad either. I had 5 goals that I intended to work towards,…
You all know how much I love to read, but there is one more thing I love just as much, and that is structure & organization. Now this could take many forms, but the thing that I use the most to bring structure (and also some sanity) in my life are Lists! I make all sorts…
Hey guys! How are y’all doing? Today I am here with my TBR for Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon that is taking place on Saturday, the 29th of April. This is one readathon that I have been eagerly waiting for, mostly because I have been stalking it for a long time now; always loitering on the…

This is something that I have always wanted to do (an author interview, I mean), but procrastinated for the ‘perfect’ moment (it’s my curse, I tell you!). Nonetheless, to my great pleasure, the perfect opportunity did come by, when children’s book author Sandhya…
Reading (and blogging) burnout is one topic on which I feel like I can write a really long essay on (though I’m not going to do that, so don’t worry!). And I am sure most book bloggers can too. Now I know that technically anyone who reads a lot is in danger of burnout, but…
Hey guys, welcome to Day #2 of Book Blogger Appreciation Week. Today is the interview day, and I have the pleasure of hosting and interviewing a fellow book-blogger – Sharlene from Olduvai Reads. She is originally from Singapore, but currently lives in San Francisco. By her own admission, she is a full-time mom, a part-time reader,…
