Goodbye 2022.. It’s Been One Heck of a Ride 🤌🏼

(Image not mine. Please let me know so I can credit the Artist ♥️₹

This is my first and the last post of 2022..

I have been an absent blogger this year; mostly cause it’s been a roller coaster ride for me in my personal life.

If you have been following me on Instagram; then you know a human baby made me his mama this year and I have been trying my best to be able to uphold this huge responsibility.

So for this exact reason; everything in my life took backseat; though no matter how hard I tried, the need to read did make sure that I kept my sanity through the post partum time.

I hope that this year of 2022 went absolutely fabulous for you – do let me know what books you loved this year, because I need to know what books to add to my never ending and overflowing TBR; because it’s starting to look a little small 🤣🤭

While this year my blog lay dormant; I am writing this post as a hope to make sure that

A) I post at least twice a month and at least reviews of my favourite reads in the particular month itself 🤞🏽

B) That I post more than just reviews on Instagram 🤞🏽

C) That I keep my Goodreads, StoryGraph and Readerly updated regularly 🤞🏽

D) That I read more from my own shelves before buying more books *like that’s gonna happen 😉*

E) That I get my Netgalley Reader Score to at least 75% – which means clearing my backlog of titles on my Kindle 🥹

F) Annotating the books I am falling in love with – I love leaving notes to find later when I re-red or for when the next person reads the book 🥺

Here’s to the hope that I fulfill all the points in my to-do list for this year! And if you have still stuck around; you can find the list of books I fell in love with on Instagram 🥰

Till the next year lovelies! Have a good night and a fantastic start to 2023 ♥️

It’s Been A While..

Its been ages since I have been active in this blogosphere..

It has been a roller coaster of a ride for yours truly since the last time I was able to post here. I had a huge stack of plates to juggle and somehow being an active blog didn’t quite make the cut for me.

I promise I tried hard; but the fact that I was bale to active on Instagram – but even then it was a toss up if I would be posting regularly.

I had a whole lot of things happening; lets take a look shall we?

• The biggest thing to happen was that I ended up being pregnant and giving birth to a healthy baby this past May; which meant the whole of 9 months before were a lot; in terms of health and experience.
• It also meant, the baby was the one who dictated my reading experience – and it was honestly hilariously irritating that my baby’s preferences meant next to no reading (absolutely went on his father in this regard 😂)
• I had multiple exams from competitive ones to my semester exams – not that it gave me any favourable result but I had to try.
• But mostly, it was the exhaustion – trust me, I didn’t realise how exhausting it is to grow a human being. It was bone deep exhaustion and all I wanted to do was just freaking sleep. ALL. THE. TIME 🫣
• And then at the end of my pregnancy, my fur baby, Lord Felix, the youngest baby then, ran away from home. It broke my heart. Literally. I spent a whole day crying and only controlled myself, because there were two babies (one in me and other Queen Artemis) depending on me being healthy and present.
• It took three and a half days for us to find him; and I still consider myself the luckiest mom ever to have him back home.
• No matter what struggles I go through; and there have been a few; the fact that I have my three babies with me is enough for me.

When Lord Felix helped me to study for my exams 🥰

That doesn’t seem like much, now does it? But encompassing everything that went on in my life, wasn’t exactly feasible (and I doubt that WordPress wouldn’t limit the words).

But I am gonna try and be back here – slowly getting back to posting schedule; and if you have any ideas as to the kind of content you would like for me to post; beyond reviews and such, don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments!

Till then, I hope you are following me on my social medias (linking them right here!) ❤️‍🔥

Holy Moly! August is already here and in another 4 months this very traumatic year would hopefully be in our rearview mirror and we can all just try and move on from it.

An Inter-Cultural Romance That Will Give The Readers An In Depth Look At The Indian Culture <3 | ARC Review: The Marriage Code by Brooke Burroughs

In Brooke Burroughs’s endearing debut novel set in vibrant India, enemies turned allies encounter obstacles in an unexpected multicultural romance only to discover that in the end, love is love.

Emma has always lived her life according to a plan. But after turning down her boyfriend’s proposal, everything starts to crumble. In an effort to save the one thing she cares about—her job—she must recruit her colleague, Rishi, to be on her development team…only she may or may not have received the position he was promised. (She did.)

Rishi cannot believe that he got passed over for promotion. To make matters worse, not only does his job require him to return home to Bangalore with his nemesis, Emma, but his parents now expect him to choose a bride and get married. So, when Emma makes him an offer—join her team, and she’ll write an algorithm to find him the perfect bride—he reluctantly accepts.

Neither of them expect her marriage code to work so well—or to fall for one another—which leads Emma and Rishi to wonder if leaving fate up to formulas is really an equation for lasting love.
