Remarkably Bright Creatures: Worth the Hype?

Hi Readers! Finally finished a book in April! I know it’s only the second week, but it felt like I was reading this book for the longest time. Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt had been on my TBR for a long time. I had even started reading...

March 2026 Recap!

Hi Readers! March, though it was my birthday month, has now finally ended! It seemed like it lasted for a long time, and I’m not complaining, because that was a long time to feel special! It was insanely hot, things at work were unbelievably complicated, didn’t get to meet...

Book Recommendation: Lonely Castle in the Mirror

Hi Readers! When I love a book, I can either write an unending review or I’m at a total loss for words. With The Lonely Castle in the Mirror, it’s the latter, and yet, here I am with my ramblings. This book was on my TBR for years, and...

Book Recommendation: The Binding Vine by Shashi Deshpande

Hi Readers! Once again a tiny book has overwhelmed me. A lot of emotions, heavy themes, flawed characters and binding them all together is simple and profound writing. The Binding Vine was my second read from Shashi Deshpande, and though I love her writing, I just cannot manage reading...

Hi Readers! I read a fascinating book last month. Even after finishing it, I couldn’t quite stop thinking about it, especially the brilliance of the prose. Yes, I had read the story. But, after reading it, I randomly recollected different layers of themes that I hadn’t realised before. The...

February 2026 Recap!

January was the longest, only for February to be the shortest. I have no idea how the month has already come to a close, which also means I didn’t do a lot of things this time. It was more of a going with the flow approach. Several things didn’t...

January 2026 Recap!

Happy end of January! When the month and the year started, there was a switch that turned on. Eating right, making my own tiffin for office, working out every day, being active, getting the 8 to 10k steps daily and you know the rest. Sad to report that it...
