Hi, I’m Shama – welcome to What Shama Reads.

This is my space to explore books, readers, and the communities that grow around stories. Alongside sharing reviews, recommendations and personal favourites, I reflect on reader culture, online book communities and the role social media plays in how we discover and connect over books.

Books have always been my escape and my reset button – the quiet space I return to amidst work, motherhood and everything in between. But they’re also a window into how readers interact and build connection – both online and off.

What Shama Reads is part reading journal, part reflection and 100% real conversations about books, readers and the spaces they create. Whether you’re here for thoughtful reviews, reading inspiration or a deeper look at reader communities, you’re in the right place.

I’m so happy you’re here 💫
