About Me

Published by

Heena R. Pardeshi

on

My name is Heena Rathore P., and I’m a 23-year-old B.Com. Grad. and a blogger who loves to read. I currently live in Pune, Maharashtra (India).

Married to the love of my life and since then living my dream life (All thanks to Vishal!)

Reading is something I love since childhood. And finally I am getting all the time I need to READ 🙂

If you want to know  a little more about me, read Behind The Curtains of The Reading Bud.

I would like to mention specifically that I don’t charge for my reviews and that I am not affiliated to a publisher.

 

My Approach:

I am quite brave about my reviews, I don’t have a problem saying anything from “I just didn’t like it’, to “This book was awful”! I don’t care because it’s much more important to tell the truth about my view. Besides, I feel obligated to give an accurate review.

Genre:

I’ll review pretty much anything that is Romance, Young-Adult, Suspense, Thriller, Mystery, Crime and Philosophical except paranormal, political and erotica.

I’m exceptionally difficult to offend, and I have few scruples about what I read, so as long as the fiction falls loosely within the mentioned categories, I’ll be happy to review it.

    […] My About Me page is pretty light on content. Frankly, that’s purposeful because I want The Reading Bud to be about the books, not me. This isn’t a personal blog. It’s a blog on a very specific subject. […]

    Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog for a little while today. I’m your new biggest fan!

    I had a great time and tried to leave my campsite as good as when I arrived. I’ll be back!

    Thanks for checking my blog out! Love the idea behind your blog — maybe one day my as-yet-to-be-published YA will be on your review list! (One can only hope!)
