Why Frankenstein Remains a Timeless Classic

📚✨ Hello fellow booklovers!! ✨📚

Today I’m diving into a true classic, a book that shaped science fiction, horror, and gothic literature all at once. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is one of those novels that stays relevant no matter how many years pass. Dark, philosophical, emotional, and surprisingly intimate, it’s a story that feels just as powerful today as it did in 1818.

Whether you love classics, enjoy morally complex characters, or want a novel that actually makes you think and doubt, Frankenstein is a masterpiece worth (re)visiting.

About the book

Frankenstein follows Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who becomes obsessed with creating life. When his experiment succeeds, Victor finds himself face-to-face with a being unlike anything humanity has ever known. The creature is intelligent, sensitive, and desperately craving connection. But Victor, horrified by what he’s created, rejects him immediately. This single act sets off a chain of tragedy, loneliness, revenge, and deep philosophical reflection.

Told through layered narratives, letters, confessions, and recountings, the novel explores themes of humanity, responsibility, isolation, ambition, arrogance and the consequences of playing god.

Why You Can’t Miss Crooked Kingdom: A Must-Read Fantasy

Hello fellow booklovers!! 📚✨

Some books stay with you because of the plot, others because of the characters. Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo stays with you because it does both brilliantly. As the second and final book in the Six of Crows duology, this story continues where Six of Crows left off, but also, it raises the stakes, deepens the emotional weight, and delivers one of the most satisfying conclusions I’ve read in fantasy.

Fun fact, this was my last read for 2025 and my first review for the new year!

About the book

Crooked Kingdom picks up right after the events of Six of Crows, throwing us back into the dangerous streets of Ketterdam. Kaz Brekker and his crew are betrayed, hunted, and stripped of everything they fought for, including their reward. What follows is not only another elaborate plan of his, but a fight for control, justice, and survival in a city built on lies and corruption.

If Six of Crows was about the impossible heist, Crooked Kingdom is about consequences. The world remains dark and gritty, filled with political games, criminal empires, and shifting alliances. The stakes are higher this time, not only because of what the crew stands to lose, but because the cost is deeply personal for each one of them.

The Healing Power of Reading: My Journey in 2025

✨📚 Hello fellow booklovers!! 📚✨

It’s this time of the year when every reader, book blogger and content creator show the world their favourite reads of the year. However, this post isn’t another wrap-up. There are no numbers, no star ratings, no “best of” lists. I will probably mention my favourite books for 2025, but for now I simply want to talk about what reading gave me this year.

🤍 Some days, opening a book was the only soft thing in my routine. Between moving to a new apartment, job hunting and trying to handle all the lemons life gave me reading became my safe haven. Each page I turned became a vibrant echo of the incredible power of words, wrapping around me like a warm embrace, offering solace during the stormiest of times and sparking inspiration when my thoughts felt trapped in a dull haze. Familiar tropes, beloved characters, and stories that felt safe gave me that comfort I so much needed. Reading became my pause button, a place to rest when the world felt too loud.

Why You Should Read The Bear and the Nightingale This Winter

✨📚 Hello fellow booklovers!! 📚✨

With the festive season in full swing and Christmas just a heartbeat away, I couldn’t help but share my love for The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden. It’s a novel that feels like a winter legend you’d read by the fire, on a cold winter night, as snow falls softly outside. Settle in with a warm drink and let me take you through why this book is perfect for your Christmas-to-New-Year TBR 🎄❄️.

❄️ About the book

The Bear and the Nightingale is the first book in The Winternight Trilogy. At its heart, it’s a historical fantasy steeped in Russian folklore and snowy enchantment. Set in a remote medieval Russian village where winter feels eternal and the forests are alive with spirits, the story follows Vasilisa (Vasya) Petrovna, a girl who can see and speak with household and forest spirits that others dismiss as old wives’ tales.

As Christianity spreads, gradually overshadowing the old beliefs, the once vibrant spirits begin to slip quietly from memory, along with the comforting protections they provided. With winter’s shadows lengthening and mysterious forces drawing near, Vasya finds herself at a crossroads, grappling with a blend of tradition, fear, and her own emerging gifts that seem both daunting and hopeful.
