I was always a chicken who got scared very easily and never watched or read anything related to the horror genre. However, all of that changed after I discovered gothic fiction which I loved. But I still had not ventured into the actual horror genre until I read "Bird Box". I enjoyed the spooky creepy... Continue Reading →

Authors I want to read more from
I have never spoken much about my favorite authors on this blog of mine. I have read many books written by these authors and I am pretty sure I will love any book written by them. Without even reading the book blurb, I buy books written by them. I want to read every single book... Continue Reading →
Genres I like
I experimented a lot with genres from last few years and that made me buy books that I knew I would not like. I wasted money and time on books that would never interest me, just because I wanted to explore genres that I had not read before. This year I bought some contemporary fiction... Continue Reading →
