Popular Bookstagram Myths That You Need To Avoid

In this blog, I have listed I’d some ways that might help you get around perceived Bookstagram myths and buck the trend. I've read so many posts about why it’s tough to grow as a bookstagrammer. If you're someone who just created a Bookstagram Account then you need to ignore these popular myths. 1.

As long as you have a fairly recent camera phone that can take decent pictures, you're good to go. You can always enhance them through various apps. You really don't need to invest in expensive equipments to take bookish pictures.  2.

Book Review - Regretting You by Collen Hoover.

 "π‘―π’†π’‚π’“π’•π’ƒπ’“π’†π’‚π’Œ π’ƒπ’–π’Šπ’π’…π’” 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓." 🌟🌟🌟✨ You guys! This was my fourth Collen Hoover book and I've come to the realisation that once you start reading her books, you JUST CAN'T STOP!. No matter, how flawed the characters are and no matter how weird and predictable the plot is, nothing can stop you. Her writing is honestly so engaging that it just pulls you right in.  Regretting You follows mother/daughter duo Morgan and Clara. Morgan had Clara when she was only 17, and put her dreams on hold to raise her daughter. The two love each other, but often clash due to their strong personalities. It delves into the complex relationship between a parent and a child, the challenges of growing up and seeking independence, and how to move on after tragedy. The reason I gave this book 3.5 stars is firstly because of Clara, the daughter. I'll be honest, I understand she was a teenager but at times, I felt she was really annoying and overly frustrating.

Book Review : Romanov by Nadine Brandes

ROMANOV -  NADINE BRANDES "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒔 π’Žπ’Šπ’π’†π’”, π’Žπ’†π’Žπ’π’“π’š, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 π’•π’Šπ’Žπ’†." Summary -  Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single mission: to smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in Siberia. It might be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them, and he’s hunted Romanov before. Nastya’s only chances of saving herself and her family are to either release the spell and deal with the consequences, or enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya has only dabbled in magic, but it doesn’t frighten her half as much as her growing attraction to Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might even like her. That is, until she’s on one side of a firing squad . . . and he’s on the other.  Review First of all, I wasn't too familiar with the Russian History and I knew nothing about the Romanovs. So, I went on and did my own resear
