Ayesha I finally finished Sour Fruit and what a whirlwind. It was certainly a unique read but not particularly one I would recommend. I think the biggest mishap is that the blurb does not do the story justice, and in fact sets up expectations that simply were not met. The story picked up around 80%…

Ayesha Guys, I am in the middle of too many books! Off the bat, I’m reading a few fulls that we’ve requested at work and it’s so fun to see these unique stories aspiring authors have come up with. That said, why do I keep adding to my ever-growing TBR I will never know. Check…

Julia I am sort of, kinda, for better or worse, back in my Julia Quinn era. Funny enough, it wasn’t even due to Bridgerton being adopted into a Netflix series that got me into reading Quinn. All it took was a tentative desire to read more Romance, a convincing conversation with a friend, and I…

Julia Following my previous update, I am now on book 3 of the City of Brass Trilogy and loving every second of it! Some of my favourite parts of the series are not just the dramatic plots and rich world building, but actually the smaller dynamics at play that build the characters in such a…

Ayesha I was pretty burnt out last week from editing a client’s draft before deadline so apologies for not having a reading update to share then. For this week, I wanted to share that I’ve gone back to reading two books at the same time. I simply have too many books to read and it’s…

Julia I have successfully gotten out of my beginning of year reading slump in typical fashion, by beginning a new Fantasy series: Book 1 of the Daevabad Trilogy, City of Brass, by Shannon Chakraborty. The book has been on my radar for a while now, but after a direct recommendation (from a South Asian friend,…

Julia In lieu of any recent updates, I wanted to write about another book I read over the holiday season: A Cautious Travellers Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah Brooks. I picked this book out when I was in search of something fantastical with hardly a hint of romance (seemingly rare these days). I was…

Ayesha It’s been some time since I’ve provided a bookish update and it’s certainly a goal of mine for 2026 to be better about being consistent. So strap in for a variety of tidbits I have to share. I’ve finished two books so far, both of which I highly recommend! The first read was Female…

Ayesha Maybe it’s the new job in the literary world but I have been busy reading! With so much time spent commuting, I have been catching up towards my reading goal. I just finished Codename: Vol 1 by Nehemiah Russell, an author we featured earlier this year! This one is for lovers of comics, dystopian…

Julia I am well and truly in my indie mag era! I have just come back from the Indie Conn independent magazine festival in Hamburg, Germany and I am so amazed by all the incredible mags I have come across and the people behind them. But, before I dedicate a post to that, I have…
