About The Blog + Subscription

 Hello! So I realized that I don't have any pages in my blog, so creating them now! Anyways, I created this blog in late June, 2020. I was super bored during quarantine, and one of my friends inspired me to create a blog! I've actually blogged before, but that was when I was in second grade, and unfortunately lost the details of that blog as it was made from school. 

So, what's Book! And Sometimes Other Fun Stuff about? Well, as the title suggests, I post a lot of content related to books! You can find book reviews from quite a few different genres (but I'm trying to include more diverse books from now on), comparisons of book related things, quizzes etc. I also occasionally do reviews on applications, games and movies. 

Just a quick disclaimer that the reviews are based on my opinions, and not sponsored, so of course you may have different views on them. I don't include the age ratings for the books, as honestly, I'm not really sure if I can judge on that, as everyone has different reading levels. However, from now on, I'll try to at least mark which books can be read by pre-teens or are limited to teenagers. 

Something I've been adding more recently is tricks and tips on different things, from how to ace your online classes, to the do's and definitely dont's of glass painting. There are also several tips on writing, whether on a blog, a short story or a novel. I also discuss about random things that come to my head, like letter writing and trope discussions. 

I created this blog mainly for fun, and hey, my writing skills are improving, so why not? Any comments or feedback is highly appreciated, though please make sure the comments are appropriate! Any inappropriate content will be deleted. 

I try not to maintain a routine, so check in every now and then to see if I have a new post uploaded. For this reason, you can subscribe using this link:  https://forms.gle/jWrbP8XukUT3p1T28

Finally, if you want to contact me, use this email: bookwafflesstuff@gmail.com . 

Also, please don't copy my work! If you want to share something, please ask for permission first and give credit. Thank you for reading this very, very long piece of text!

Also, in case you're wondering, my handwriting looks NOTHING like this. The font that actually looks similar to mine is quite hard to read, so I guess that tells you a lot about my handwriting in real life!

An Actually Important Chat

Hello everyone. So first of all, you may be wondering why I didn't post yesterday. Usually, it'd be because I didn't have the time, or the right inspiration.  But eventually I would find time and inspiration and write something, right?  Yeah, not this time.  Creativity block? Maybe. It's true, it's been weeks since I've worked on my WIPs.  But I guess the real reason is that I've been working every week on this blog not for myself, but for everyone reading it. I realized, while frantically scrolling through 'Post Ideas' lists on the internet on Thursday, I feel like I have to write because I have to, not because I want to. Get what I mean?  I wondered what the point was. If it was worth the effort at all. You might be thinking what a short, usually less than a thousand words post once a week that basically included me ranting required effort for.  Well, writing is hard. And it doesn't always feel the same. So while writing a post every week might

Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History

  The title of this blog is a really popular sentence that's commonly used all over the world. It's often used to refer to the idealistic feminist, the 'badly-behaved' (according to society, anyway) women who stand up against the patriarchy by breaking the invisible (and sometimes visible) rules set for them.  That's not a bad implication of the statement, no. But the original meaning of it is kind of ironic, because most people don't know the woman who actually said this: Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. In her book of the same name, she talks about simple women, who make changes in every corner of the world, but are not recognized for it. Mothers, nurses and teachers cause huge impacts on our lives, yet their stories are often forgotten, or not considered at all.  It's so weird how even now there are certain conditions for everything, including being the proper feminist icon. You have to have a certain skin tone (ever hear of white feminism?) wear certain clothes

E book VS Hard copy books

Disclaimer: These are totally my opinions. Feel free to disagree. Now, you can both read a book on your phone, or get a paperback/hard cover version of it. But which one is better? E book: Pros:   You can travel light, as you are basically carrying an entire library on your phone/laptop/tablet/whatever. You'll always have a book on the go. There's less chance for the book to get damaged.  You don't need to dog-ear your pages or remember to use a bookmark, as it usually saves your place. Cons: It's actually increasing your screen time, so your eyes probably won't thank you for it. You need to charge your device. It's harder to back and forth, if you are looking for a particular portion. You just don't get the feel of a real book, its pages and what-not. Hard copy books: Pros: There is no extra pressure on your eyes, and you can go to sleep while reading. You don't have to recharge the battery. You can just open the book at a random place, and it is much e
