Part 2 of the Warwick Series, Hidden In Plain Sight starts off where the first ended. William Warwick has now been moved to the drugs squad and the team is tasked with finding a major supplier. Meanwhile, Williams and Beths wedding plans take way. 
.
I was so excited for this book and immediately pre-ordered it once it was available. The first book in the series, #NothingVentured was a favorite and I couldn't wait to read the second book. But alas, this one didn't live up to my expectations and I was left feeling slightly disappointed. 
.
The plot was fun and enjoyable but not as much as I had hoped it to be.
.
#QOTD Has any anticipated read left you disappointed?

Thank you so much @panmacmillanindia for sending me a copy of Desi Delicacies to review. This was a Christmas present that made the week so much better!
.
I like to say that after books, food is my second love. Put them both together and you get a great combination! And Desi Delicacies did just that. A collection of short stories and essays centered around food from Muslim South Asia, this book made me hungry. The first half of the book is made up of essays while the second half contains the stories. Each chapter is a short and very easy to read. I loved how the essays brought to life the history of food and spoke about the Muslim diaspora from around the world.
.
Desi Delicacies is a love letter to food. Each page is brilliantly curated and leaves you literally wanting more. 
.
And the best part of it all? This book contains recipes! So after you read about a certain food, you can go into your kitchen and cook it yourself! I cannot wait to try out the Katchi Biryani and Warqi Samosa at home soon.

Ah, 2020. The year that broke us and built us righ Ah, 2020. The year that broke us and built us right back up again. What even was last year? It feels like a dream of sorts. One from which I have unfortunately not woken up from. The world was in shambles and everything went crazy! The only thing that kept me sane was the books that I got to read. I mean, I had a lot of extra time on my hands since I started working from home and that obviously meant more books to read.
.
Looking back, there are a few titles that come to mind over and over again when I think about last year. These books should definitely be on your TBR list.

How time flies! It feels like only yesterday when How time flies! It feels like only yesterday when I decided to go self-hosted. The idea had been in my head for a long time and I felt 2020 would be the perfect time to do it. I did try going self-hosted earlier but that only ended in a disaster. Taking what I learned from my previous attempt, I bought my domain and set up “ThatZenBlog” on 03rd January 2020. Here’s to my first blogging birthday! 🍰

All you need is a clothes hanger, some staple pins and decoration.

💫 Bend the clothes hanger into a rough round shape. This will be your frame.

And there you have it, your own DIY Wreathe. For the best effect, choose colors that compliment each other.
