Some days, it’s not life that’s difficult; it’s the way we feel about everything happening around us. A small comment, an unanswered text, a bad day at work, or simply looking in the mirror and not feeling quite yourself. And somehow, these little things have the power to take over an entire day. In The Book of Moods, Lauren Martin explores exactly this. She writes about anxiety, frustration, self-doubt, overthinking, and the emotional triggers that so many of us experience in our everyday lives. What I particularly liked is how she reminds us that we don’t have to let every emotion dictate how we live our lives. Sometimes, we need to pause, understand what we’re feeling, change our perspective, and give ourselves a little grace. It’s part personal journey and part self-help, with practical reminders about self-awareness, self-care, and learning to be kinder to ourselves. Not every idea is groundbreaking, but sometimes we need to hear the simplest things at just the right time. A gentle reminder that we cannot control everything that happens to us, but we can learn not to let every little thing steal our peace. A book for anyone who feels everything a little too deeply. ♡ #bookstagram #bookreview #nonfictionbooks #currentlyreading #bookrecommendations by @readby.ann
Some authors just make you feel at home with their writing, and Srishti Chaudhary is slowly becoming one of those authors for me. 🎀📚 Once Upon a Curfew @onceuponacurfew.book is my third book by @death.of.the.author , and there’s something so comforting about returning to an author whose writing feels easy to settle into. The book is an easy, engaging read, with a writing style that makes the pages flow effortlessly. It’s the kind of book you can curl up with by the window, lose yourself in for a while, and simply enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. What I love is how reading certain books doesn’t have to feel like a task. Sometimes, you just need a story that keeps you turning the pages and lets you enjoy the experience of reading. And this one felt like just that! 🌷 @onceuponacurfew.book @lallansweets.book @ashimlaaffair.book Now I’m curious: Is there an author whose books you keep picking up, simply because you know you’ll enjoy their writing? Tell me who it is in the comments! 💌 . #bookstagram #bookstagramindia #onceuponacurfew #srishtichaudhary #bookreview by @readby.ann
October wrap up ✨🤍 📚 🤍✨🧚🏻 ✨ #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #october #bookish by @readby.ann
Looking for a Christmas read that feels like a warm hug on a cold winter evening? 🎄📚✨ What You Are Looking For Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama might just be the book you need. Set in Japan, this heartwarming novel follows different people at crossroads in their lives, each searching for something they cannot quite put into words. A career change, a sense of purpose, a fresh beginning, or simply a little hope. And somehow, they all find their way to a library and to Sayuri Komachi, a librarian who seems to know exactly which book they need. What I loved most about this book is its gentle reminder that sometimes, we aren’t really looking for answers. We’re looking for a little reassurance that we’re not lost, that it’s okay to start over, and that our lives can still surprise us in the most unexpected ways. 🤍 It’s the kind of story that makes you want to slow down, curl up with a blanket, sip something warm, and believe that perhaps the things we’re searching for have been waiting for us all along. And honestly, isn’t that what we need during Christmas? A little hope, a little kindness, and the reminder that it’s never too late to find our way. 🎄☕️ Now tell me: If you could walk into a magical library this Christmas, what would you want to find on its shelves? A book that heals your heart, one that changes your life, or one that helps you escape reality for a while? 📖💭 I’d love to know your answer in the comments! ❤️ #bookstagram #bookreview #christmasreads #japaneseliterature #cozyreads by @readby.ann
Some books make you believe in love. Wuthering Heights makes you question whether love is always a beautiful thing to believe in. 🥀 Emily Brontë didn’t write a love story that asks to be admired. She wrote one that asks to be understood, feared, and perhaps even forgiven. Heathcliff and Catherine are not the kind of lovers you root for with a smile. They’re the kind you think about long after you’ve closed the book, wondering how something so intense could become so destructive. Their love feels less like finding a home in another person and more like losing yourself so completely that you no longer know where you end and they begin. And perhaps that’s what makes this book so haunting. It’s not simply about two people who couldn’t be together. It’s about pride, cruelty, revenge, social class, and the terrible things people do when they mistake possession for love. The Yorkshire moors feel like another character entirely: wild, unforgiving, and incapable of being tamed. The atmosphere seeps into the story until the setting and the people seem equally haunted. But here’s what I keep coming back to: Was Heathcliff a man destroyed by love, or a man who used his suffering to justify becoming cruel? And was Catherine truly in love with him, or was she in love with the part of herself she saw in him? I don’t think Wuthering Heights wants us to choose between romance and horror. Perhaps it wants us to realise that, sometimes, the two can exist uncomfortably close together. And that is precisely why this book stays with you. Not because it gives you a love story to dream about, but because it gives you one you cannot stop trying to make sense of. #wutheringheights #bookworm #bookstagram #bookreview #bookrecs by @readby.ann

With Sally Rooney making headlines, here’s a little reminder of why her books mean so much to so many of us. ❤️📚 📖 Normal People — For everyone who has ever loved someone deeply but struggled to understand each other. Connell and Marianne remind us that love isn’t always enough when timing, communication, and our own insecurities get in the way. 📖 Conversations with Friends — For the complicated friendships, blurred boundaries, unspoken feelings, and relationships that refuse to fit neatly into a box. Because sometimes, the hardest feelings to explain are the ones we feel most deeply. 📖 Beautiful World, Where Are You — For those of us trying to figure out how to live, love, and find meaning in a world that often feels overwhelming. A book about friendship, loneliness, politics, and the uncertainty of being human. 📖 Intermezzo — For the different ways we experience grief, the complicated relationships between siblings, and the quiet, messy process of learning to live with loss. A reminder that everyone grieves differently, even when they’re grieving the same person. 📚 you can disagree with a writer, debate their ideas, and question their choices while still recognising the significance of the conversations their work inspires. Which book has stayed with you the longest? 👀📚 #sallyrooney #bookstagram #literaryfiction #bookrecommendations #readersofinstagram by @readby.ann

A few things to know before you pick up Taipei Story by R.F. Kuang. 📖🌸 Set over one unforgettable summer in Taipei, this is a story about language, family, grief, cultural identity and that complicated question of what it really means to call somewhere “home.” If you know Kuang from The Poppy War, Babel or Yellowface, go into this one with different expectations. This is quieter, more intimate and deeply personal, but you can still feel her fascination with language, identity and the ways people try to make sense of where they belong. And honestly, I love when an author steps outside the genre that made us fall in love with their work and surprises us. 🤍 Have you read R.F. Kuang before? And which of her books is your favourite? #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookish #taipeistory #rfkuang @kuangrf @boroughpress @williammorrowbooks @harpercollins by @readby.ann
