Book I Want to Read in February 2022
Happy February! 💕 I don’t know if it’s the fact that I decided not to put any pressure on myself this year when it came to the things I love like reading and blogging OR if it’s the fact that it has been blistering cold that all I want to do is be cozy inside with a book… OR even if it’s the fact that there are just too many good reads out these days, but whatever the reason, I have been reading every single day without fail and I am loving it! While January was looong and fairly bleak, the whole month felt anything but because of the reading…

Book Review – As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh
I don’t even know where to begin with this one… Despite me finishing the book months ago, I genuinely needed all this time to process the weight of this book and how much I freakin’ loved it. Beyond being able to relate to bits of it (coming from immigrant parents who fled a war, faith, and language)… I was still in absolute awe at how Zoulfa, the author, managed to really grasp the terrors of war beyond the physical, to the mental and spiritual as well. It left me haunted every single time I put the book down to catch my breath. I had several moments when the tears wouldn’t…

Books I Want to Read in November 2022
How has November crept up on us? I swear my concept of time is either really bad, or there is some cosmic mercury retrograde type of voodoo that is making me feel like the days are flying by. Although, the other day I did feel like the start of 2021 felt so long ago… maybe it is me? Either way, I am sooo excited for the books I have decided to read this month. Some all brand new released that I have been waiting to get my hands on and some are books that I have put on previous TBRs and never got to them. Here is my November TBR:…

Because Autumn is the best and the coziest reading essentials will not be the same if not specified that they are autumn-esque… ofc! These are some of my must-have items that make the reading experience so much better and gives me all the cosy vibes. 1. Fall Candle This one is a must for me. I love to create the coziest mood when reading and candles do just that. Especially the scents that come out around this time are rich, warm, and just the amazing! 2.…

5 Bookish Podcasts I Love
One of the things that has really helped my mental health and just my well-being overall is taking walks. In the past few months, I found it hard to find time and reasons to even leave the house. I work from home so a big chunk of my day is spent in my office, but once work was done, I would sink into the comforts of a couch or my bed to zone out and read a book or watch a show. I quickly realized that I needed to step away physically from being indoors all the time and make some time to breath some fresh air, or even just…

Spooky Reads to Devour this Halloween Season
With spooky season here, and Halloween nearing, I thought this would be the best time to share some of my favourite spooky and not-that-spooky, thrilling, and heart-wrenching reads to get you in the spirit of the season. Here are some of my favourite spooky and not-so-spooky but definitely thrilling reads: The Witch Haven By Sasha Peyton Smith I read this book last month and don’t know how I never knew about this book! I saw it looking so beautiful on the shelf and practically bought it without even reading the back cover. It is a perfect blend of intrigue and creepy without being too creepy. I won’t post the full…
