Welcome to my little library!

Books have always been more than just stories to me—they’re companions, adventures, and safe havens all wrapped in paper and ink. They’ve comforted me on hard days, kept me company on lonely nights, and sparked endless daydreams. As a psychologist, I spend my days helping people navigate the real world, and reading has always been my favorite escape—a chance to step into different lives, feel new emotions, and explore worlds beyond my own.

After years of quietly collecting stories that shaped me, I thought: why not create a little corner of the internet to share them more personally? I already post my reviews on Goodreads, but here, I want to go beyond the rating and share the moments that made me laugh, cry, stay up too late, or fall in love with characters. Nanda’s Little Library is my space to be honest, reflective, and playful about the books I read.

Here, you’ll find a mix of everything I love: swoony romances 💕 that make my heart race, emotional fantasies 🐉💔 that tear me apart and put me back together again, timeless classics 📜 that never lose their magic, and the occasional hidden gem ✨ that I stumble upon by accident.

Because every library needs a system, here’s how I’ll be rating my reads:

📕 ⭐ – ❌ DNF or actively hated it
📙 ⭐⭐ – 😬 Not good, wouldn’t recommend
📘 ⭐⭐⭐ – 🤷 Enjoyable but flawed
📗 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 😍 Loved it, highly recommend
📔 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 🤩✨ Obsessed, phenomenal, perfect in every way

I’ll also sprinkle in extra emojis to capture the vibe of each book:
💔 for books that broke me, 💕 for swoony romances, 🐉🧙 for magical worlds, 😂 for laugh-out-loud reads, and 🔥 for those that are a little (or a lot) steamy.

More than just reviews, I want this to be a cozy space where we can celebrate stories together. Maybe you’ll discover your next favorite book here, or maybe you’ll just enjoy the journey of seeing what I’m reading. Either way, you’re very welcome to pull up a chair, grab your favorite drink ☕ or tea 🍵, and join me as I turn the pages of my little library.

So here we are, at the beginning of this new chapter. Welcome to my little library—I can’t wait to share it with you.

Book Review: Consider Me by Becka Mack — A Swoony Romance That Left Me Wanting More 🤔💖📖

     Ever have one of those reading moods where you just need to disappear into something fun, steamy, and utterly captivating? A book that feels like a warm hug and a flutter in your chest all at once? 😍 That was my exact headspace when I picked up *Consider Me*. Promised a delicious sports romance, it delivered on its core promise with gusto, wrapping me up in a world of athletic charm and sparkling wit. 🔥      From the very first page, protagonists Carter and Ollie didn’t just meet—they exploded onto the scene with enough chemistry to power a small city. ⚡️ Carter is the quintessential golden boy athlete, all cocky grins and effortless charm on the surface, but with a hidden, tender heart that absolutely wrecked me. 😩💘 And Ollie? She is his perfect match in every sense: fiercely independent, brilliantly sharp-tongued, and so self-assured that she never lets him get away with a thing. Watching their dynamic unfold was a masterclass in tension. Their b...

From Brooding Bad Boys to Goodest Boys: The Rise of the Golden Retriever Book Boyfriend 🐕‍🦺💛

     If you’ve spent any time in the wild, wonderful world of romance novels lately, you’ve felt the shift. The air is getting… sunnier. The male leads are becoming… sweeter. The brooding billionaire with a tortured past and a penchant for growling commands is still on the shelf (and let’s be real, he always will be 😉), but he’s now sharing prime real estate with a new archetype: the Golden Retriever Book Boyfriend. 🐕‍🦺✨           You know the one. He’s the hockey player who’s more likely to bring you a puppy than give you a smoldering glare from across a bar. He’s the sunshine to the heroine’s grumpy, the human embodiment of a warm hug, the guy whose love language is enthusiastic support and goofy, unfiltered joy.       I have this on the brain because my current reads are a masterclass in the type. I’m halfway through Emily Henry’s Funny Story and just started Becka Mack’s Play With Me (yes, I’m a glutton for the Play...
