The North Ridge High Series

Back when I was in the final year of high school, we had a Scholastic book fair, where the catalogue I was presented flashed a book titled Spring Fling at me, the pretty cover of which grabbed my attention at once. I had to buy it and I think when I did, that was the…

A Court of Thorns and Roses

Okay, I seriously must admit I didn’t expect to love this series when I first opened a Court of Thorns and Roses. The heroine, Feyre, gained my affection within a few pages but as the aftermath of what she does in the very first scene takes us into a world of the High Fae and…

When your best friend publishes her book baby, it’s such a damn proud moment. Writing is literally the most easiest part in the publishing process.

Wuthering Heights

I finally managed to finish Wuthering Heights a couple of days ago, which was my brave second attempt. My first one was over six months ago, the day the book was delivered from Amazon, and I’d had an eye on this classic for a long time before that, courtesy of Eclipse of the Twilight Saga. Though the impact…

The Host

This is the most delayed written review from me on a favourite book of mine, because it’s been five years since I read it and still counting, including the re-reads. The Host is one of those books arranged next to the Harry Potter series in my personal library because that treasured part of my shelf…
