Warm moments with a book, a cup of tea, and a cozy fire — the essence of Fireside Books.

Meet the Blogger

Hi, I’m Senara Mallikahewa, the writer, reader, and quiet coffee enthusiast behind Fireside Books.

As a lifelong lover of stories, I created this blog to share my passion for reading, especially books that invite deeper thought and emotional connection. I believe in quality over quantity, and I gravitate toward books that linger in your mind long after you turn the last page.

I enjoy building reading lists tailored to moods and seasons, reflecting on books that shaped me, and sharing my honest thoughts on both well-known and hidden literary gems.

This blog is a personal space to connect with fellow book lovers who crave cozy reads, reflective content, and an escape from the fast-paced digital world.

When I’m not reading, you’ll find me journaling, enjoying quiet mornings, or creating thoughtful content for this blog. I’m so glad you’re here.

Let’s slow down—and read deeply.
