We cant wait for them to grow up, so that we have time for ourselves. But when they do, we miss those little things, those precious moments that are etched in our memories and imprinted in our hearts. What an irony, isn’t it?

On a reading spree in August
August was a rare month that saw me devour 3 books, all different genres and each one left me with so much to savour. My reading has come down significantly over the years as I started to focus on my writing and later my fitness journey. I was content by convincing myself that one cannot… Continue reading On a reading spree in August
No place like home #FictionMondays
Laying on my comfy couch, a kettle of my favourite tea brewing nearby, as I immerse myself in one of the classics I can read umpteen times and still never tire, how I dreamt of this day!

Bibliophile Brewing- Raising a reader
One of my earliest memories of books is my mother reading to me when I was around 4-5 years old. We would sit curled up in bed as she read from a colourful book.

And then I found my happily ever after #TellTaleThursday
I shut my eyes hoping that sleep would come, but it continued to elude me. My eyes were puffy from crying the whole night. What do I do? How do I get over Josh? The one whom I thought I want to spend the rest of my life with, get married, have babies, grow old… Continue reading And then I found my happily ever after #TellTaleThursday
