Hello, Booklovers!

I am Heena and I am a twenty-something novelist, editor, manuscript critic, book reviewer and podcaster.

I am a huge fan of ASOIF (Team Ned), The Walking Dead and Stephen King.

Hello,

I’m Heena

Welcome to The Reading Bud, my cosy corner of the internet dedicated to all things books and authors. Here, I invite you to join me on a journey of discovering under-represented books, independent and small press authors, and all things book with a touch of love and loud purrs. Let’s get Reading!

Let’s connect

Join the fun!
