And today it landed on my page! I loved this book and for my blog tour post, I decided to list five feminist fairytales where Princess Charlotte would fit right in. For the time being, I’ll make a list of the princesses she could visit, wait for YOU to tell me why do you think…

The first round of the Shortathon happened between February 18th – 24th, 2019. This readathon did not have any challenges, but they did do Twitter sprints.

YARC 2019
Because doing readathons back to back and instagram challenges wasn’t ‘challenging’enough, it looks like I’ll be doing YARC2019. YARC, or Year of the Asian Reading Challenge, is a year-long challenge that requires you to read as many Asian authors as possible. Looks like I’ll be doing that this year. My aim is to read 40…

Off the grid readathon
This was a very good readathon for the beginning of the year, considering how often I tend to take a dive in my bookshelf and resurface after a couple of days, Jumanji style. Hence why my blog posts are on and off the grid. The Off the Grid readathon is a quarterly event; the last…

Winter Biannual Bibliothon 2017
I ended up ticking just one item off the list, ‘read a book you were really excited for but never picked up‘ – in my case BITCHfest: Ten Years of Cultural Criticism from the Pages of Bitch Magazine by Lisa Jervis and Andi Zeisler. However I also managed to read George Orwell’s Books v. Cigarettes essay from 1946. To…
Biannual Bibliothon
While I did start this one a tad late, I am consciously reading my days away. I will not be doing any of the video challenges because in the state of imponderable chaos I find myself in, the last thing I am able to do is sit down and start vlogging. So I picked my…
Bout of Books 18 wrap-up
As this is the first read-a-thon of the year, my first challenge was to manage to squeeze time for it, because I have to adjust the new read-a-thons schedules to my regular ones. As this month I am home from Uni, I am enjoying the people around me and reading during late evenings when everyone…
Hello again, world!
A new year, a new hope. Yes, I decided to jump-start the blog again! Since I am vertiginously approaching a quarter-life crisis, this year I’ve decided to focus on my reading baggage. I’m starting with the 18th Bout of Books Read-a-thon, and following suit with a number of others. Having set my Goodreads reading challenge…
