A quiet kind of guilt—the kind that stayed, even when survival wasn’t a choice.

For every complicated version of 'mother':
Love does not erase hurt.
Hurt does not erase love.

I love you Maa.

Some lines are worth stopping for. For me as a reader, this one from King of Gluttony by @authoranahuang was one of them.

It made me pause and think about the person you choose to spend your life with, and whether having high expectations is really asking for too much. Spoiler Alert: It's not!

Sometimes you realise it soon; other times, it takes the life out of you. 🌼

This fiction book is the most real one I've read this year, deeply personal in ways I’m not quite ready to put into words. @shazaffatimahaider
Someone asked me if it was a feminist read, and I said yes. For me, it was. Maybe because even in 2026, the weight of expectations, identity, and society’s idea of what a woman should be still feels painfully familiar.

One of my most personal reads this year. ❤️
@craftofreading thank you for bringing this book into my life and TBR ✨

Now that's something to look forward to and follow through ✨
Ali Hazelwood blends the STEM world and one of the most popular romance tropes with wit, precision and unlimited hypotheses that work beautifully both in and out of the lab. ❤️🔬
Rom-coms are as important as the dark romances...like 2 sides of the same coin.
So eagerly looking forward to the movie adaptation @thelovehypothesismovie 🩵

I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokbokki: One of my most profound reads of 2026. 🌼

I came out of my reading slump at the beginning of this year after a while, and this was one of the first books I bought at the World Book Fair. It felt like looking into a mirror, reflecting everything good, bad, and ugly within me.
Every page seemed to echo my pain, anguish, and hope, all woven together. Each chapter felt less like reading someone else's story and more like understanding and confronting my own, one human being learning from another. I am grateful for this book and its author.
