About me

Hey, hi, hello! ~

I’m Ahaana (she/her), a teen book blogger, and reviewer with a never-ending love for books and reading!! As an Indian, I’m also a strong supporter of diversity in fiction, love seeing representation in the books I read, and absolutely adore #OwnVoices stories. Apart from diversity, I also believe that morally grey characters, the enemies-to-lovers trope, there’s only one bed, the sunshine x grumpy dynamic, banter, villain origin stories and books featuring girls with knives are ✨ superior ✨ When I’m not reading, you can find me competitively swimming, shopping, playing the piano, singing in the shower, eating, or wasting my time.

Apart from my book blog, I post reviews rambles, unfiltered screaming and bad jokes on my Goodreads page as well. I have a YouTube channel too, where I go beyond books and also post (singing) covers, vlogs, and of course — book related content.

Quick facts ~

✰ I overuse exclamation marks and emojis <33
✰ I make amazing jokes but no one ever laughs at them???? Excuse me???? I’m actually quite funny except no one else seems to think so.
✰ I’m literally always taking pictures
✰ I’m always eating
✰ I’m a Pisces
✰ I have an ENFP (Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Prospecting) Myers-Briggs personality type
✰ I know four languages – English, Spanish, Hindi and Punjabi
✰ Procrastination is my middle name, I have zero time-management skills, and have been blessed with the memory of a goldfish :’ )
