#OnTheBlog is my stop for the International Blog Tour for @ashwrites' BRILLIANT and POIGNANT debut novel, The Beauty that Remains. . . I'm also talking about my experience as a piano player for over ten years, and what music coming alive feels like, apart from my review. In this picture are ACTUAL examination pieces that I've done. . . Thank you so much @prhinternational for putting this tour together! My blog link is in the bio, and don't forget to check it out! . . QOTD: Do you play a musical instrument?

I woke up too late this morning to post this at my regular time so HERE WE ARE. I'm currently stressing out because I have 72910372 things to do before my flight tomorrow morning and I'm VERY SLOWLY making my way through my To Do List. I guess I should be happy that my bag is packed, though? . . In any case, the lovely people at Diverse Book Bridge sent me this BEAUTIFUL ARC of @sam_aye_ahm's debut novel, Love, Hate and Other Filters which I dive into early last week and fell in love with! My full review will be on the blog on Sunday evening so be sure to check it out then! . . This book is about an Indian American Muslim Teen trying to find her way in the world and work up the courage to tell her parents where she wants to study and Maya Aziz really reminded of me at 17 (minus the running away from home) . . I was super excited to see that this book has aspects of film making in it because I have a few classes related to that this semester and the next. While I feel like I definitely prefer Photography (say hello to my DSLR as well as some of my Polaroid shots) film making is such an interesting subject as well. . . QOTD: Are you into Photography? Do you have a DSLR/ Polaroid camera?

Earlier this week, I read the BRILLIANT #DaVincisTiger that @harpercollinsin sent me and I FELL IN LOVE! This story is all about the first solo painting that Leonardo Da Vinci did in the 1400s during the Renaissance in Florence, and it's the one that made him famous. It's told from the point of view of the muse of his painting and I've never read anything so wonderful! . . QOTD: Cheesecake or Ice Cream?

I absolutely love ALL of these beautiful books that @penguinindia sent me a few weeks ago. . I've only read Adriana Mather's How To Hang A Witch so far, but I absolutely loved the Salem Witch Trials background and the curse and I can't wait to read more of these book! . If you're following my stories, you'll know that I'm currently reading Leigh Bardugo's Language of Thorns and that it's been absolutely amazing so far! . . Check out my story to see some illustrations in the book and I'm sure you'll fall in love! . . QOTD: What will you be reading this week?

I've had the pleasure of reading two of @sarahcrossanwriter's books in my life and both of them have been told in verse. . . I never thought I'd be a fan of verse until I flipped open ones written by Sarah Crossan and I COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF THEM. Her writing is heart wrenching and brilliant and these are two of my FAVOURITE books, that I highly recommend you get your hands on because they're just that good. . . Thank you so much @bloomsburyindia for both of these copies!

I just finished my first final exam a few hours ago and my head is STILL aching from it. Why do we need exams again? I have never in my life understood them. . . I came home after, watched a Grey's rerun on TV and then came up to continue with my #currentread, How To Hang A Witch and also try to finish up my review of #TowerOfDawn but I've been thoroughly unable to do either. Sighh. I guess it's just one of THOSE days. . . I got the chance to read an ARC of Girls Made Of Snow And Glass from Macmillan International and despite the fact that it had a VERY slow pace, this was a FEMINIST LGBT FANTASY RETELLING OF SNOW WHITE. That alone deserves for you to give it a read but BE WARNED the pace is REALLY slow. . . QOTD: What's your favourite TV show? -- Mine has been Grey's. I love a LOT if shows but this one has remained my constant.

So. I read a book. No, scratch that, I read THE BOOK. And it was one of the BEST books I've read all year and I honestly CANNOT stop thinking about it. . . @hollybourneya's latest novel, #ItOnlyHappensInTheMovies is COMPLETE AND UTTER PERFECTION in every sense of the word. It's awkward, hilarious, real and FILLED WITH FEMINISM, cute boys, and girl power. it Only Happens In The Movies analyses romance movie tropes from a feminist POV and it is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. . . Equally important, THIS BOOK HAS POPCORN ON THE COVER? LIKE PUTTING FOOD ON A COVER IS THE BEST AND CAN ONLY BE TESTAMENT TO HOW GREAT A BOOK IS. . . Thanks to @usborneya for my review copy that I LOVE SO MUCH UGH. . . THIS IS THE BOOK, ALL OF YOU. THE ONE YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU NEEDED. But it's here, and it's got popcorn so now you HAVE to read it. . So. Talk to me. What's your favourite movie snack? Your favourite movie tropes? Have you read Holly Bourne's books? What do you think of them?

Hello Fellow Bookish People! SO. I SLAYED THE DRAGON THAT IS #TOWEROFDAWN just yesterday and I am SO IN LOVE WITH IT. I honestly can't wait for the finale this May. . . This Mortal Coil, which I read last month, by debut author Emily Suvada is one of the BEST 2017 RELEASES AND YOU NEED IT NOWW. It releases November 2nd in both the US and the UK and GAAH. IT TRULY IS THE BEST. . . This is about biohacking and a virus that kills people in the most brutal way possible and it's set in this future dystopia with a badass hacker as a main character and a black ops soldier as her love interest and IT IS EVERYTHING YOU NEED, THAT YOU NEVER KNEW YOU WERE LOOKING FOR. . . I though of reading today but my stress to actually do work and not procrastinate won over and I've been working on my portfolios all day. #ProductiveDay . . SO. What are you lovelies currently reading? What's the size of your TBRs? What have you been DYING to read but haven't been able to just yet? I'd love to chat with you guys!

Hi #bookstagram! . My second post in as many days! (Claps for self) . I JUST realised that although I read this BEAUTIFUL book all the way back in May, I didn't post a single picture of it on my feed and that's a crime indeed. . . A Court Of Wings And Ruin was probably one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and while it was a GOOD book, nothing will ever reach the love I felt in A Court of Mist and Fury for Feyre, Rhys and the rest of the gang. I'm very excited for the novella that will be told in both Feyre and Rhys' POVs though. . . If you've been following my story, you'll know that I've been reading the BRILLIANT #TowerOfDawn which @bloomsburyindia sent me. I feel like I've been transported back to when I first fell in love with SJM's writing because this book is THAT GOOD. It's slow paced, and it takes the time to get to develop it's characters and I love it so much. . . #TowerOfDawn is getting me so excited for May 2018 when the final book in the #ThroneOfGlass series releases. I'll be sobbing and elated so please bare with me when the time comes. . . Oh: P.S: the candles are some of the birthday gifts I got from my AMAZING BFFs @epicrainbowcandy and @notsoplainvanilla from @whisperingflames . TALK TO ME YOU GUYS! Are you a Sarah Maas fan? Who's your favourite character? What's your favourite book? What upcoming books are you excited for? I'd love to hear from all of you!

[amillion-books]

I've got family in town and it's all been SO SO BUSY. . . It was also coincidentally the PERFECT time to dive into #YouBringTheDistantNear by the BRILLIANT @mitaliperkins which is all about the lives of three generations of Indian American women. Reading this book truly felt like finding a home within the pages of a book and I loved it. . . The full review for the book is #OnTheBlog and I hope you pick this book up and LOVE it. . .

[amillion-books]

#OnTheBlog is my review of the GORGEOUS #WaterInMay by @ismeewilliams that is so unlike anything I've read before! . . Told from the point of view of a 15 year old girl, this diverse book is about how she navigates through the consequences of the baby still inside her having a serious heart defect and it will change your world. . Seriously, guys, check this out on Goodreads and add it to your TBRs because it is SO SO WORTH IT! . QOTD: What are you currently reading?

Hi Everyone! I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while but exams start tomorrow, and college has been super hectic. . . The lovely folks at @jkscommunications sent me the #CrownsofCroswald box which is SO SO pretty, I still can't believe I actually have it. . . I'll start this book sometime next week and if anyone wants to #buddyread it with me, just comment below!
