Anyone who has been anywhere near my vicinity knows well that Madeline Miller is one of my most favourite authors of all time. For years at a stretch, I have screamed about the masterpiece The Song of Achilles is, but let me just give Circe the appreciation it rightfully deserves, too. This book was honestly one of my best reads of 2020 and i wish i could read it for the first time again.

If Greek mythology interests you and clever, feminist retellings of ancient stories keep you on the edge of your seat, you know what you've gotta read next.

[15.08.18] *peeks in* Hello, there! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I apologize for not being very active lately. Radical changes took place in my life which were, without a doubt, inevitable, but the impact of them took a while for me to sink in.

It is because of such that I decided to take time off of Tumblr. But I have a few updates for you about what’s going on in my life.

First things first, I AM OFFICIALLY IN COLLEGE AS AN ENGLISH LITERATURE HONOURS STUDENT!

It honestly feels like a very surreal experience; the entire process of filling in college applications and anxiously awaiting their reply was exasperating and very emotionally exhausting for me. The long and unsettling nights where I felt like giving up hope weren’t at all pretty, but they also taught me just how strong I could be.

And finally, here I am — in an entirely different state, attending a renowned university. I have secured my own place, I get to study my favourite subject, and I have high hopes about how I colour my dreams on this huge canvas that this institution provides me.

That being said, you can expect frequent updates from me once again! This blog is as dear to me as are you all, and I want to thank you all for staying back even during the radio silence. It means a lot to me.

In the mean time, send me asks! Tell me how your day went, tell me about your latest accomplishment — no matter how big or small. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
