To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before Movie Vs The Book
Have you ever come across a book that sounded really interesting, but then you just never got around to reading it, because well you possibly got distracted by other equally or more interesting books? For me, that’s exactly what happened with this book/series. I found the premise really interesting, but clearly never interesting enough to…

Geekerella – Where Fairytales meet Fandoms | Book Review
I came across this book quite by accident. I was drafting a post on How to Get Started with Audiobooks, and I wanted to be thorough and include a lot of examples and recommendations, so that it’s not just an info dumpy post, but something that people who want to get started with audio-books can…
When Dimple Met Rishi – Review and Rave
This book, oh my God (or rather Oh my Gods, as Rishi would say), it was such an adorable read, that I had a stupid grin on my face all the time that I was reading it, and you know what? I couldn’t even shake off the darn grin once the book was over! However,…

If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo | Book Review
If I Was Your Girl is a prime example of book publishing done right. It’s a contemporary YA novel featuring a transgender woman as its main character, written by an author who is a transgender female herself. And if I am not wrong, so is the audio-book narrator, and the model on the cover of…

The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater | Series Review (Spoiler Free)
This is it guys, I have read the last book of the quartet I have been obsessing over. I know many of you are heaving a sigh of relief (yes, don’t hide, I can see it from here!) that it is finally over, and I know, I know I have been going on and on…
The Love That Split The World by Emily Henry | Book Review
This book is a very difficult one to summarize, or even box into one genre, but I am going to try. My first instinct is to slot it as YA contemporary, but there is also some fantasy/ alternate reality, a little time-travel – so you see, it is a mixed bag of sorts. The plot…
