Genre: Fantasy It was always going to be a risk, coming out with new Harry Potter material after so long. When the books were finished, fans all over the world were crying for more. And to give into that 9 years later – it’s like dangling a carrot in front of a starving child. We’ll… Continue reading Play Script: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (#8) ~ JK Rowling
Genre: Historical Fantasy Two reasons why I finished this book: (i) I absolutely hate leaving books unfinished and (ii) I promised myself that I’d really give books out of my comfort zone a solid shot. And this book was way out of my comfort zone. I need to make that clear. I have never enjoyed… Continue reading Book: Sorcerer to the Crown (#1) ~ Zen Cho
Genre: Contemporary Historical Fiction Whatever I expected when I picked up this book, this was not it. I am blown away by the fact that this is a debut novel. Celeste Ng did such a brilliant job explaining human emotions and interactions. Describing how every person can view the same situation differently. Portraying life in… Continue reading Book: Everything I Never Told You ~ Celeste Ng

When I… Continue reading Book: The Unexpected Everything ~ Morgan Matson

Genre: New Adult This was a book group BOTM. I was not happy with any of the options, and I finally picked this one because of the interesting looking cover. And then sighed with annoyance when I saw that it was supposed to be a love story. I don’t like romance novels. The genre is… Continue reading Book: Eversea (Butler Cove #1) ~ Natasha Boyd
It’s raining outside. Not too heavy, not too light. The sky is gray and shadowed with clouds. Breeze is blowing in through the windows, bringing with it the wafting fragrance of talc and soap. Better than any expensive bottled perfume. The patter of the raindrops hitting the ground soothe and envelope me. I’m lying in… Continue reading Bursting with Happiness
Genre: Romance I waited months for this book to come out. The minute I came to know that Julia was writing a book from Andrew’s POV, I was so excited. He’s my favourite character from this series so far. Actually, he’s one of the few people that I actually like, and considering the number of… Continue reading Book: Shopping for a CEO’s Fiancée (#9) ~ Julia Kent
