Construction zone!

Hello lovely blog readers,

I'm going to be trying out different layouts and blog designs as I slowly embark on a DIY blog revamping project. So you might see random buttons or different layouts (hopefully nicer-looking!) in my posts over the next few weeks.

If anyone has any advice for blog designs or revamping their blog, please let me know! I'm using inkscape (an opensource vector graphics program) to design most of my new buttons/headers/etc.

Please excuse the dust as I begin construction~

(look at my shiny new signature!)

update August 19, 2013  - I have fiddled with the background and the fonts - I like the color scheme but this design will probably change. The things I'm keeping for sure are the social media icons and the snowflakes in the sidebar. Inkscape is so useful for designing things :)

    I use wordpress, but if you look on Pinterest there are a lot of amazing tutorials linked for doing blogger layouts. If you do a search for blog design or something like that you can find some great posts and a lot of inspiration.


    And kudos to you for doing a revamp! I dread doing one for my blog because I never quite know what I want to do. I'm one of those people who are all "I'll know it when I see it"!


    Also, your signature is gorgeous. I love the colours!

The Insidious Side of the Golden Milk Latte

Okay friends, strap in, this is going to be quite a rant about cultural appropriation and all the interactions that have been bothering me lately. I am just sick of hearing from my (predominantly white) friends how indignation at cultural appropriation is so "extra" and unnecessary, so here is my attempt to explain through my south Asian/desi lens exactly what I consider to be cultural appropriation and why it bugs me. Basically it boils down to this: If I get fun of for a certain part of my culture or heritage, but a white person can do the same thing and is applauded for being "boho chic", it's cultural appropriation. If a bunch of white people start profiting off of a part of my culture or start a "trend" without acknowledging the source, that's cultural appropriation too. Golden Milk Lattes This beverage has been making the rounds on all the health-focused hipster health blogs, and is essentially an up-cycled version of a tr

The Supremely Fabulous Fantasy Subgenre Flowchart

Way back during Sci-Fi November , I made a flowchart of Science fiction subgenres so that everyone could find the sub-genre that they liked the most. The idea was that people could find recommendations in genres they didn't normally read, and maybe find a new favorite series or subgenre. It was way more popular than I imagined it would be, and a lot of you readers asked for a fantasy flowchart . Well, 6 months later, here it is! Again, some subgenres I made up and some are standard. I have read/watched most of these, but there are a few I haven't because I'm not familiar with every subgenre of fantasy. If you would like more suggestions in any of these genres, feel free to ask! I obviously couldn't fit all my suggestions on this tiny flowchart :) Fantasy Subgenre Flowchart You can always find the Sci-fi and Fantasy subgenre flowcharts by clicking on the SF/F Subgenre Flowcharts tab at the top of the page. Did you find a new subge

Way of Kings Readalong: Wrap-up

So it's finally over. That was an amazing book! Thank you everyone for joining in and making my first readalong so much fun :) I have said over and over again that Brandon Sanderson is a storytelling god. This book makes me believe it even more fiercely - it takes a mastermind to create such intricate worlds and piece together so many character and plot threads. He does such a great job of feeding you just enough answers/revelations to keep you happy, but keeps you hanging by dangling all sorts of questions for you to answer. Not to mention the bombshells he throws in at the end... Having read Mistborn, I really should have been more prepared for disaster and mindblowing moments towards the end of the book. The end was just bombshell after bombshell - some were interesting revelations, and others were shattering. The bombshells of this week: 1) Navani proves that Dalinar's visions are real , and says his unconscious decoding of an ancient language will help pave the
