About Me

Bio: Alex Murakami, the girl who stole Murakami’s last name and plans to steal his cat. Besides Murakami’s cat, she is also obsessed with Ed Sheeran, Damien Rice, Coldplay and Imagine Dragons in music; Hemingway, Cassie Clare, Oscar Wilde, Neil Gaiman, Sarah J Mass, Tahereh Mafi and Khaled Hosseini among writers; Shakespeare, GB Shaw, Beckett, Sartre and Marlowe among dramatists; Cesare Pavese, Bukowski, Plath and Akhmatova among poets; Dead Poet’s Society, Into the Wild, Grave of the Fireflies, Forrest Gump and V for Vendetta among movies and Friends, HIMYM, GoT, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Rick & Morty and Black Mirror in TV shows. An amateur DJ whose services have been often requested, she has a soft spot for EDM, jazz, and plain ole Rock n Roll.

Some other soft spots go to the visual arts including sketches, paintings, photography, and dramatics. The list of fictional book boyfriends goes on for pages, but Moriarty, Aaron Warner, Dante Russo, and Rhysand top the list. Among things she hates are – traditional gender roles, cruelty towards animals and politicization of war.

She also has restless feet that don’t let her settle anywhere, and she wants to give them free reign, letting them take her around the world (especially Murakami’s home), but her tongue is even more restless; she is either singing beautifully or rambling about all sorts of subjects—aesthetics, books, visual arts, her grandma, her friends, or Maggie (she can ramble on all those subjects for hours, especially Maggie) you name it, especially when she is high on coffee.

You might sometimes think that she is talking about deep stuff or talking about how much she likes you, but she is probably quoting from a book or the lyrics of a song.
Besides her blabbering, curly hair, and jazz voice, she can also be identified by her sensitivity towards animals, belief that she is really precocious and her excessive use of Black heart as signature emoji.

I accept ARCs and bookish as well as other products and will review them on my blog. Check out my Review policy.

Authors who want to promote their book or other bloggers can Contact me.

The main reason I started this blog is to talk about books and authors I loved, liked, or didn’t like. Then it turned out to be a space where I could vent out my personal feelings, give a platform to my fiction, and just be myself. So along with book reviews and bookish stuff, there will be lots of letters, stories, and personal ramblings on the blog.

Oh, and I also do book tags. It’s really fun. So if you’ve got something, please TAG ME. 😊
