~ABOUT THE AUTHOR~

Hello everyone 💫

I hope you're enjoying reading my blog, I really appreciate you all! Read through this page to learn more about me and my blog, while taking a journey through my camera roll at the same time.  

(Disclaimer: I take all of the photos I use on my blog, so please notify me beforehand if you plan to use any of the images you see. Make sure to credit me as well!)

I'm Sapphire, but you can call me Saph :) I'm an Indo-Canadian (which is why I spell lots of words the "Canadian" way and end up confusing everyone else) and blogging is my hobby.

I'm a pretty balanced mix of introverted and extroverted, and I have a not-so-mild obsession with books. Writing and blogging have been my hobbies for a while now, but this blog and my bookstagram is the first time I put them out onto the internet!    

 Music is also a huge part of my life. I play the piano and the clarinet, and recently learned a little bit of guitar. My dream is to be able to play the cello! My actual music taste is far more vast than all the oceans combined. Along with music, I also do dance (bharatanatyam!) and I really enjoy learning new dances! Let me know if you have any music (or book!) recommendations :)

Another one of my passions is painting, especially with oil paints. My favourite medium is definitely painting with poster colours.

Another art form I enjoy doing is quilling, which in my opinion deserves more popularity. Tanjore painting has my heart as well 💗I love looking at antique/vintage art and old art styles, especially from different parts of the world! 

I've been thinking about starting crocheting or knitting, but I'm not sure which one. Let me know if you have any ideas!

 

Like I mentioned before, I'm a huge bookworm, and the genres I love reading include; 

- Mystery

- Horror/Thriller

- Fantasy

- Romance

- Classics

- Every book in existence with an enemies to lovers trope

    I'd like to think that I'm good at writing, even if typos and semicolons will be the death of me. I think journalism is a very interesting career, one that I may chose to pursue one day.

    I started off being super excited about starting this blog, but procrastinated on when I should begin writing for it. Then one day a few-ish years ago, I put out my first post! It went uphill from there, and I was surprised at all the support I was receiving in such a short amount of time. 

I ended up taking a break from blogging and not posting for a couple months, using that time to work on education related things and procrastinating on generally everything blog-related. One day as I sat in my cave of despair, I decided to check in on my blog, expecting to see nothing but tumbleweed in the viewer statistics. 

I was surprised to see that the views had actually tripled in time! That was probably one of my biggest motivators to continue with blogging, all the support I get from my readers and family. 

I decided to put my passions together and turn this blog into a book blog, as well as start my bookstagram! This blog is a space for me to post about anything book related or literature related, but sometimes I like stepping out of my boundaries and posting about other topics as well. 

 I also happen to give out some of the best book recs, if I do say so myself. Make sure you subscribe and/or follow me for updates and book recs!

So far its been an amazing journey with my blog, I've learned many new things about myself, and I think this is an experience I won't end up regretting in my life. 

Here I am today, and I would not have done it without all the support from everyone! We've reached 10k readers so far, a milestone I hadn't even dared to dream for. I'm forever grateful to each one of you for allowing me to achieve my goals on this platform 💗

Thank you to every person out there reading this page- you truly are amazing and I appreciate you :) 

Sincerely, 

Sapphire
