Hi Biscuit Breakers! Well, I never expected to get here so soon! Last year I decided to finally start a blog that would be a place for me to be my crazy, nerdy self without the fear of being judged by so-called 'friends'. I kept it a secret for a while, I quietly worked on... Continue Reading →

Shravan: What is it?
Hi Biscuit Breakers, As you know, I am a practising Hindu. There are several festivals and traditions that we do throughout the year and during summer, Hindus celebrate 'Shravan', a month of being vegetarian (if you're not already) or fasting. During this month, there are days for fasting, a day when you eat cold food... Continue Reading →
The Hunger Games – Catching Fire: Film Review
Hi Biscuit Breakers! Now that we've established the wonderful book that is Catching Fire, we move onto the pretty decent film adaptation of it.

War of the Worlds: Book Review
First things first. The rich descriptions really sucked me into this book. Right from the start. But the ending... I was so disappointed. I know this is a classic, but we can't love them all.

Six Queens: Anne of Cleves
It's the classic tale of catfishing. But in this case, Anne probably held the trump card and outlived not only the King himself, but also ALL of the other queens. After doing my research a bit more into her history, I've found that she, alongside Katherine of Aragon are my favourite queens so far. Anne... Continue Reading →
Killing Eve: Season 3
For the last few years Killing Eve has quickly become one of my favourite shows of all time. It subverted expectations of female assassins and detectives, it was glamorous and humorous too. But season three hit a stalemate and I don't know if it can ever recover it's former glory. Jodie Comer as the fabulous... Continue Reading →
