Julia I did it! I broke my reading slump! The cure has been twofold I believe; a) I went out and bought myself a new thriller/mystery to rip through and b) I have been cat-sitting the sweetest little cat who snuggles with me as I read. I’ll address point B first, which is that having…

Ayesha For the last couple of days, I’ve kept my head down as I try to catch up on my ARCs in NetGalley. I’m very good at requesting them and also very good at getting distracted (oops). I’ll share a bit about two – one I stayed up late to finish and another one that…

Julia I stopped by ‘Bonjour, Jacob’ the other week, a cute and miniscule coffee shop in the 6th arrondissement known for its curated display of magazines, and I was immediately drawn to the vibrant covers of FARE magazine.

Plus, I’ve been on holiday, and while there was reading by the pool being done, there were a…

Ayesha I’m back to reading two books simultaneously – “The Wilderness” by Samantha Harvey and “How to Be Dateable: The Essential Guide to Finding Your Person and Falling in Love” by Julie Krafchick and Yue Xu. I know, it’s quite the range! I purchased “The Wilderness” over Christmas while I was perusing the shelves of…

Julia I found the book I’m currently reading through a TikTok video. The TikTok user, Sara Abou Hadir, read a quote from ‘If the Budhha dated: A handbook for finding love on a spiritual path’ and I was immediately hooked. The quote starts like this, ‘As an intrepid traveler on the path to love, you…
