Reader and Writer
Reading is the escape into the unknown, where curious minds reside. The places that house the wonderous twinklings of a romantic heart dreaming of far greater things than this world can conjure. It's a feeling that builds and ignites in your chest as a single thought branch into many ideas and experiences that could be. [...]

September is by far, my favourite month and the beginning of the best season - Spring. The weather is lovely and perfect for picnics and days spent in the outdoors. This month, I set up a goal to read as much as possible. Initially, I began with a small TBR of 'S' titles, Six Crimson [...]
“There is no better distraction in this world than losing oneself in books for awhile.”― Cassandra Clare, Chain of Gold Finding the right props for your aesthetic and vibe is always difficult when you first start blogging. When I began my bookstagram, I was finding the style of photography for my taste. I'm still learning how to [...]
