Samira Ahmed has done it again with Mad, Bad, & Dangerous to Know. I checked out the book without bothering to read the summary and I was surprised, in a good way. This book was much different than her book Love, Hate, and Other Filters, but written just as well. This book follows Khayyam and …

Covid-19 means that we can’t live life the way we used. We have to find new ways to maintain relationships during social distancing and quarantine. And with all this new free time on my hands, more ways to keep myself busy. As a person with a blog about books, reading has been the best way …

Capturing the Devil
Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco was the final book of her series and it was completely underwhelming, which is surprising considering how much I love the series.

The Library of Fates
I have never once in my life read a fantasy novel about people of color, and let me just say, I’ve absolutely been missing out. “The Library of Fates” by Aditi Khorana was a wonderful book with an amazing mix of mythology and history. Khorana didn’t just take mythology from one culture, she combined several …
My So-Called Bollywood Life
I thought “When Dimple Met Rishi” had so much culture, but boy did this book prove me wrong. Nisha Sharma knocked it out of the park with this book! This is book follows Winnie Mehta as she fights for her role in her film club and figures out what her destiny is. She was fated …
