G’morning people,
Though we don’t have an autumn season around here I am gonna have to shout out ‘The Fall is here!’. The temperature has fallen and we are so close to hoodie weather. I love this time of Dubai, and Halloween decorations are everywhere. And more horror movies and books.
On the other news, I got some indoor plants this week and I am testing out how long I take to let it die. I am being totally serious, I think I have some serious ill luck when it comes to plants and I am doing my best. I have been digging up a lots of blogs and this time I am equipped better, I hope.
What I read this week:
I am reading A Quiet Kind of Thunder by Sara Barnard.
What I watched this week:
Did any of you know Netflix is finally streaming the Jane the virgin Season 4? Yaas! I love it and am currently binging on it.
I love Rafael Solano and obviously if you knew he looks like this, you would too. And that he is kinda good person (I know the judgement is still out on that) helps.
On the blog
I spent quite some time on my blog and I hope this continues. So here is a quick recap on what happened on my blog this week.
- The week started with a bummer Sunday Musings #20: One that got me irked up with the world and its skepticism.
- On Monday I reviewed Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto.
- I answered questions on the A-Z Bookish Questions tag on Wednesday.
- I also posted a fun quiz: Which Female Literary Character are you? on Friday.
- I added an archive page which sorts my reviews by genre.
- I also revamped my categories and tags so that they make more sense to the reader.
Around the blogosphere
Here are a few of gems among the millions of posts I read this week. I love ’em and I thought you would too.
- Evalinah from Avalinah’s Books wrote a post on her guilty pleasure reads.
- Are you a writer or wanna be one? Marcia from Trendy Simple Life shared a great post with writing resources just to help you.
- While we are on the topic of writing resources, here is one more from Jenn’s Bound to Writing to help you out further.
- What comes after writing? Nichole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction tells us about a few things that she found about publishing through her experience.
- I love blogs with brilliant graphics and Flipping thru the pages by Simant is one of them. She writes a post on the importance of having decent graphics on your blog.
I will be linking today’s post with Caffeinated reviewer’s Sunday post Meme.

Let us talk
How did your week go? Do you watch Jane the Virgin? What other shows are you watching right now? Let us talk.
Thanks for sharing my post, Gayathri! It sounds like you’ve had a productive week. Enjoy the cooler weather and have a lovely week! 😀
It was one of the best weeks in terms of blogging I guess.
Don’t watch Jane the Virgin. You are a very bus6 blogger.
I try to be as focused as possible.
I haven’t seen Jane the Virgin, but I have heard wonderful things about it! I’m glad you’re enjoying it so much! Have a lovely week!!
Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?
Hope your week is good as well.
Great post I had no idea that Netflix had the Jane The Virgin TV series I must check out that TV show I heard nothing but great things about that show. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.
I totally love the show. I have finished watching Season 4 just last night.
I never could quite get into Jane the Virgin but Netflix has a new show The Haunting of Hill House I’ve been binging that’s super creepy and has a great halloween feel!
I am gonna watch it soon.
Fall is my favourite as well! Great post!
Yay, Have a great week ahead.
Love this style of wrap up post/highlight! I am far too lazy to put this much work into a post hahaha
I love writing these as well.
I love fall weather. My absolute favorite. Your blog is awesome 🙂
Thanks for your kind comment.
I’ll make sure to check out all the posts you highlighted. Thanks!
I am sure you will enjoy them.
I’m such a lazy blogger – you put me to shame
No you are such an inspiration to me.
Guess I need to give Jane the Virgin a try!
You will either love or hate it. There is no in between.
the fall is my favorite
Mine as well.
I tried Jane the Virgin but couldn’t get into it. I also don’t have much look with plants either, hence I don’t have any indoors.
At least we have books in common right?
Good luck with the plants. I suck with plants, everyone I get dies. I don’t know why.. They die when I give them water, they die when I forget to give the water. We now have fake plants from Ikea. LOL!
We watched an episode of The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix this week. Not sure we like it though.
Have a great week and happy reading!
Finally someone understood my issues with plants. Sigh!
Enjoy the cooler weather, not long ago you had high humidity and it was terribly hot. I have no luck with houseplants, my husband takes care of the plants we do have. My sister loves houseplants, she can tell you the names and how to care for them. I have to laugh because she watches plant haul videos on You Tube. I’ve only watched two seasons of Jane the Virgin, I would have watched further if she didn’t get back with Michael.
Enjoy your week ahead.
Thankfully the temperature is falling. I have been reading about house plants all over the internet now. Sigh.
Yass! This time of the year is great! I didn’t know that Halloween is celebrated in Dubai too, I would love if you could include some pics in the next post 🤗
No it is not exactly “celebrated” but there are a lots places that decorate and the shopping aisles are filled with Halloween stuff.
Temperature has been falling alot here too, we even saw it snowing one day!!
For the plants, did you know there’s some apps to remind you when you need to water them? 🙂 that could help you not making them die.. ahah
That is a neat idea. Let me add a reminder on my mobile right away. And I want snow 🙁
It feels like fall here today. Might need a long sleeve t-shirt in the mornings for a few days. I plan to watch the show now that the next season is available. I’ll probably binge it. LOL I’m watching The Haunting Of Hill House right now, Creepy stuff. And just finished all of Heart Of Dixie.
I will have to watch Haunting of Hill house soon, so many positive reviews.
Good luck with your plants! Houseplants can be tricky. They need the correct amount of light and watering. Those little spike fertilizers every once in a while too. I’ve never seen anything about Jane the Virgin. I’ll have to check it out. Happy reading! 🙂
I hope I don’t kill them already – AGAIN.
I recently finished that season of Jane the Virgin and I am missing her so much! I am currently rewatching Pretty Little Liars on Netflix, but I plan to start the new season of Riverdale before Sabrina the Witch comes out!
I am excited for Halloween decorations too! Happy to hear you are enjoying the time there!
I have read only a few episodes of Riverdale and I liked them. If you are into Spanish series, you should try Money Heist or Cable girls!
I watched a couple of Jane the Virgin episodes on TV…now I’ll have to check it out on Netflix.
Enjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I love the series!
Ahhh good luck with the plants, you can do this 😉
I LOVED A Quiet Kind of Thunder, one of my favorites, reall,y it was brilliant. I hope you’ll love it 🙂
And Jane The Virgin is one of my favorite shows ever, though I’ll always love Michael a bit more haha 🙂
Have a wonderful week! xx
Noooo, I am Team Raf all the way. He is just dreamy.
Good luck with the plants haha and yay for fall/ Halloween stuff. I love this season. 🙂
Thanks for sharing the links too!
Thanks, I hope I don’t kill them already.
I’ve never watched Jane The Virgin. My netflix binge recently was Riverdale which I really enjoyed… Don’t quite know what I’m going to binge next.
Riverdale looks super interesting too. I have watched only few episodes and I liked them.
