Life between the pages, as I've lived it
I kind of forgot how I came across Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh (it was obviously an online search that started with one keyword and ended up a hyperbole and a half away on the interweb), but I know what caught my attention. It was the illustration style. It reminded me a great... Continue Reading →
So, in the middle of my mad rush to meet my Goodreads Challenge deadline, getting snared viciously by The Game of Thrones and generally going about my daily life, two of my favourite weekly post categories have suffered - Weekly Wishlist and Top Ten Tuesday (you can catch my previous wishlist here and listicle here)....

Mary Poppins, the movie, is one of my all-time favourites. I have watched it at least 7 times, and I can still watch it another 7 times, because it’s simply “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”!

And one thing led to another,... Continue Reading →
My love of the poets of the Beat Generation cannot be put into words. Well, I will anyway probably try to do it, at some point. But today, I just want to talk about why Howl is on my Wishlist. Howl was once on my bookshelf. Once upon a time. It no longer is. I... Continue Reading →
The next book on my Wishlist for this month is Neil Gaiman and Lorenzo Matootti’s Hansel and Gretel. I came across this book during the initial days of my research into books by Neil Gaiman. When I saw this online, all that I knew was that it was an illustrated book with storytelling by Gaiman.... Continue Reading →
I’m super excited to start this series of posts on my weekly wishlist! With this, my list of books that sits all by its lonesome self on my Amazon wishlist, will move to this blog, where it gets to be seen (maybe). On this wishlist, I will talk about one book every week. One book... Continue Reading →
