About Us.

Greetings Readers,

You have ventured into the book wonderland of TwoGirlsThatRead! We read books then express our thoughts and opinions about them. Basically, we review books. So, what makes us unique?


No two persons ever read the same book.
- Edmund Wilson


A quote that both inspired this blog and answers that question. Literally, two people are most likely to read the same book. However, if you read in between the lines, you'll discover that nobody interprets a book exactly the same way. On this blog we will give you two different "interpretations" on one book, to help you make a better decision about the books you read. Not just one opinion, but two.       
Twice the fun. :)

Yours Truly,
- Ashvini and Emma

Interview With Jennifer A. Nielsen!

Photo Source Link Over the course of the past few months, TwoGirlsThatRead has been working on a really special surprise.  When we started this blog nine months ago, we'd hoped that one day we'd be able to do cool stuff like this. However, we'd never in our wildest dreams (T Swizzle reference) thought we'd be able to do something like this so soon and with someone so kind and talented. This has been an amazing opportunity that we'd seriously like to thank Ms. Nielsen for. About a month ago, Jennifer A. Nielsen released her new book " A Night Divided."  It's a historical fiction based around the Berlin Wall. Us, being the fangirls we are, were curious. about how Jennifer A. Nielsen wrote her books, and why she wrote her books, and just her writing books in general. So, after pulling a few strings we got the opportunity of doing an interview with her and POOF! Here we are now! For those of you that don't know, Ms. Nielsen is a New ...

The Bookmark Debate - #SheSaysSheSays

Hello Everyone,  Welcome to another very interesting edition of SheSaysSheSays...our little opinionated series where we input on all things bookish! Last segment, reviewers, Emma and Ashvini, both dished their two cents on the subject of ratings and their validity in the book-review-o-sphere! (We were incredibly delighted at your positive response and feedback, by the way, thank you for it all.) So this week were back at it again with some...bookmarks! Whoop-whoop! Today we're taking a slightly more comical approach on the series, by discussing the use of bookmarks and our personal responses and preferences with regards to them So, let's get on into it! Photo Source Link Ashvin i: Right off the bat, I’ve ought to admit; I don’t use bookmarks…or any sort of page marker, really with physical reads. Aside from being entranced by the allure of their cute paper patterns at bookstores, none of my page markers have ever been put to good use. Few have been ta...

Ratings: Valuable Or A Mere Benchmark? - #SheSaysSheSays

As we've started countless times before, this blog originated as a discussion space where we could speak our mind. To maximise our motives, we're going to be commencing a discussion series entitled "She Says, She Says." The topics can range from books to current affairs, but will always explore ideas through two perspectives. :) Ashvini: As a self-proclaimed “book reviewer” living a whole life in the book interwebs within a mountain of words; I felt the pressure to form my own “rating” for a novel. From the start of TwoGirlsThatRead, the entire process of numbering my thoughts felt foreign and unnatural, and similar to my purple sweater, I simply assumed I would grow into it. Even today, my opinion of ratings still hasn’t found a home.     Stepping into the world of Goodreads and such, ratings were a safe house.  A guide of what I should expect, that saved me a 50/50 chance letdown. However, the farther along the path I travelled, the more of a wil...
