Morning Minty.....

So, you read reviews before buying books or just like that the bibliophile in you go ahead buying before you could even decide which one to buy? 😆

I usually browse in my favourite bookstore and read the blurbs. If a book appeals to me at an intellectual/visceral level, I buy it.


Sometimes when I buy them online, I read the reviews also.

I'll try to follow your strategy whenever I plan to buy something. Thanks. :)

That's amazing. I do a quick glance at the reviews online, then I read the back of the book cover, then I read more reviews, then I quickly try to see if the first page grabs my attention, then I think about it more and by then mai toh thak gayi bhaisab

Yeah I sometimes do that, but I'm more focused on the writing style and language and themes. If the theme interests me and the language is good, it's a win-win situation.


Bunny by Mona Awad is really cool. You should read it❤️


It's a unique, interesting book

No, but I've seen it in the bookstore.


Bahrisons Bookstore stocks all these amazing books, and they know my taste, so I just buy all my books from there.

Do you have a library at home? Where do you keep so many books you keep buying every few days?
