Hello and welcome to my blog! I am delighted you stopped by. Below is additional information about me and this website.
WHO ARE YOU?
My name is Rajiv, I am in my 30s and I love to read! I work full time as a business analyst where I crunch numbers all day. Reading is my hobby and I love escaping into the world of fiction. The genres which I love to read are middle grade, young adult, mysteries, thrillers, suspense, and Indian Fiction novels. I created this site in 2017 to showcase the various books I have read and reviewed.
WHY DID YOU START THIS BLOG?
Primarily, I started this blog to get more involved in the book community. I have made some wonderful friends upon launching. Maintaining the blog also encouraged me to start a booktube channel and an bookstagram account. I love getting creative with my posts and hope you can take a look at them when you have time.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE AUTHORS OR TIME PERIOD FOR BOOKS?
The author that got me interested in books (and who is still my all time favorite) was the very talented Sidney Sheldon. Sidney Sheldon, in my opinion, is the epitome of a master storyteller. His stories had me hooked from page one. I loved his tales of powerful heroines, rags to riches, romance and suspense thrillers. As a 90s child, I am also a fan of horror/thriller and was obsessed with the cheesy Fear Street novels by R.L.Stine. Later, I was introduced to the wonderful world of Harry Potter, which opened a whole new genre for Young Adult novels. The rest is history.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER INTERESTS BESIDES BOOKS?
I love to draw. You might find a few reviews included with my personal sketches of the characters. For example, I drew the sketch (shown on the left) for my review of A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins.
I am a Disney fan and my Top 3 Disney Movies are “The Little Mermaid”, “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Lion King”. I fell in love with these movies mainly for the soundtrack. Apart from Disney, some of my favorite movies are American Beauty and The Artist. Moreover, I also love watching horror movies and scaring myself silly. My favorite TV show is “Friends” and I can never get tired of watching the reruns. Still keeping my fingers crossed hoping they get together for a reunion.
Additionally, I love to run and participated in a few 10k runs over the last 3 years.
ARE YOU PAID TO REVIEW BOOKS?
No. Reading books, writing reviews and maintaining this blog is my hobby and passion. I do not get any monetary benefits out of it.
DO YOU ACCEPT REVIEWS?
Yes! Please refer to my review policy. and use the contact me page if you would like to get in touch with me for a review request!
