Hi I’m Mina, a Librarian, a mum, a reader, an indoor plant enthusiast and now a Blogger.
I’m a keen and curious reader, I usually tend to select reads from literally award lists rather than best seller lists however I’m trying to diversify my reading choices by picking books from different genres. As a woman of colour I love to read books by authors from all over the world especially authors from Asia and Africa. I’m also a keen reader of nonfiction. As a mum of 3 I read a lot (A LOT) of children’s books as well.
There’s not much I enjoy doing more than getting together with my fellow book junkies and discussing books, hence this book/readers blog. You can also follow my reading journey and plant loving over on Instagram @this_hybrid_reads
This Hybrid Reads 
Hi Mina,
I enjoyed reading your review of Chai at Cinnamon Gardens, and wanted to know more about you and your blogs. I find it weird that you introduce yourself as a woman of colour. Why not explain where you were born, and your nationality? It’s only through this information that you will appear more genuine and earnest in your reviews. I do not generally read personal reviews of books by individual people, rather look for reputed reviewing groups, but since I agree with your perspectives on Chai , thought I would check who you are, and hence my comments.
best wishes,
Marian

Thanks for that feedback. I share a whole host of information about myself in various ways through my social media and in my blogs. My identity and politics are through my life experiences, as a woman of colour, and many of these experiences are intersectional, so other women of colour, regardless of where they are from or what their nationality is, will be able to relate to it.
Hope that helps you.
Mina
