Book Review: Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

20th May 20211st Feb 2022 maya rajesh74 Comments

Leigh Bardugo, you take that back! How could you break my heart so callously?! So, I finally did it. I finally read Six of Crows, and it is worth the hype and more. With the heart-warming found family trope, the refreshing new world, the fleshed-out realistic characters, it seems to be everything a reader can ask for, but there are a few flaws.

This review is the longest I have ever written, so please do take a quick look, but most importantly, what do you think of Six of Crows? Tell me in the comments, because I thought this was an amazing book.

150+ followers special: reacting to your assumptions

16th May 20211st Feb 2022 maya rajesh74 Comments

Hey everyone! We (sighs dramatically) are in the midst of a major Covid crisis. But we just reached 150+ followers! (This was originally a 100 follower post, but—all credits to my unmatched procrastination skills—we reached 150 just in time for this post!!)

Thank you all so much for this milestone! I don’t really think of these as followers; more like friends in the blogosphere! Today’s post is the 100 followers special: reacting to your assumptions about me.

Book Reviews: The Grisha Trilogy and The Princess Diaries

12th May 202127th Nov 2021 maya rajesh31 Comments

Hey everyone! Recently I’ve been a lot more active on Goodreads and been reading a lot more, too. It astounds me every time I see someone so organized with their reading: setting themselves a monthly TBR, having read and reviewed a classic every month, their shelves so organized! Inspired, I put together an extra post (which will pop into your inboxes every once in a while,) and it will have some book reviews!

With the last Summer Diaries scheduled for the Sunday after the next, my summer will be done, just as quickly as it came! It seems only yesterday I was writing the first post.

Books I read and reviewed (click to see the review):

The Grisha Trilogy

Hey everyone! First off, I just wanted to thank you all because I just reached 100 followers on Pretty Little Scribbles! The past two weeks have been amazing, and I’ve discovered so many new bloggers, and I’m loving it!

Summer Diaries is a series I’m doing in my holidays and will chronicle my life over the next two months—what I’ve been reading, what I think about the second wave of the pandemic, and will include with some of my favourite literary analyses.

Today, we’re doing a character case study, and the Never Have I Ever Tag: book edition! Before we start, I would like to do something special for my first-ever milestone so, inspired by Poorwa’s blog I’m going to do a ‘reacting to assumptions’ round.

The Pros and Cons of Being A Teenage Blogger

2nd May 202125th Jun 2021 maya rajesh55 Comments

Hey everyone! Recently, I realised that like everything else that’s happening around us, there’s a flip-side to blogging, too. So I decided to compile what I love and don’t like about blogging into this post. Read on to see if your pet peeves made it to the list!

Being a teenage blogger is brilliant. As young adults, we’re just starting to have our thoughts and opinions on the world, and I think that is amazing. Our blog is where we write it all down. Us literature fanatics rant about the brilliancy of our favourite books. Some bloggers talk about their lifestyle. Others write beautiful prose and poems; the blogging community is so big!
