Book Talk: What I Read in July
Consider this me making up for the late June reading list. Anyway, this month, I decided to save myself from stress and actually read the reviews before choosing which books to read. Since I’m back in school these days, most of what I read in July was meant to help me relax and escape from the laws of thermodynamics. Seriously, I completely forgot why I hated chemistry back in high school. Summer school reminded me of that, even though granted, it’s been less chemical equations and more balancing energy equations. Let me know if you want me to do a blog on my summer school experience. It’s been fun so…

Book Talk: What I Read in June
Yes, I know. I’m late for this one, effectively breaking my streak but I have good reason. If you’ve read my blog on morally grey characters, you’ll see some shots fired at a certain writer. What can I say? I’ve been trying to write this blog on what I read in June for a few weeks now, but A Simple Favour just makes me so angry. Like, really, really angry. And I’ve read bad books. I read Fifty Shades, and Twilight, and yet those books (and others: think that Mexican mafia and white supremacist romance I won’t dignify by name dropping) were comprehensible. The plot made sense. This book was…

Book Talk: What I Read in May
Okay, it’s the first day of the new month, and somehow, I’m actually posting on time. Shocking, I know. Honestly, the only reason I ever keep up with these reviews is because I write them right after finishing a book—while my feelings (good or bad) are still fresh and my random annotations actually make sense. Honestly, I’m not even sure what I’m saying right now. This is my fourth cup of coffee and I’m bulk-writing a few posts to have something ready for the next few weeks. Why? You’ll find out soon. There might be some changes happening on this blog over the summer, so let me know what you…

Book Talk: What I Read in April
I know, I’m late this month. But in my defence, I had a mini work crisis: my manager quit suddenly, and I had to take over while we reorganised things. We’re slowly getting back on track and so, things are fine. For now. But that is work, and life. So, what can we do about it? For now, we look at what I read in April. I wasn’t exactly able to update my Goodreads account on time. I’m thinking of adding my reviews there immediately after I’m done. Not sure. I usually forget about Goodreads unless I’m actively doing something related to books on this blog. It’s a problem, I…

Book Talk: What I Read in March
As I mentioned in my February reading list blog, I’m currently reading a book every week in 2025. So, this blog is about what I read in March. If you want to follow my journey, I’ve also gone ahead and finally created a Goodreads account. I’m still figuring out how to use it. I might’ve reviewed some books I haven’t read yet but I’ll update it as I go along. The plan was to only rate books I’ve read this year but Goodreads wanted me to rate a few before I got started. So naturally, I might have gotten carried away with my obsession with Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes.…

Book Talk: What I Read in February
As per my new year’s resolution, I’ve been reading a book every week. So, this blog will be the first in a series and it’s basically a what I read in February kind of a book tag/thing. Not entirely sure what I’m up to. Of course, I’ve had super busy weeks at work where I didn’t get the time to finish a book, but I’ve been making up for it. In fact, I’m actually only three books behind my target. So, naturally, I’ve decided to set some accountability guard rails for myself. And I’m doing this by posting my reading list on this blog every month. I might go into…
