Can you believe it - this is probably the first book that I've read, which has won a Pulitzer Prize! And, lo and behold, it was readable and absolutely lovable! If you don't have the patience to read through the rest of my review (which will be short anyway), I'll tell you now - you've … Continue reading Less by Andrew Sean Greer – Book Review

Looking for Alaska by John Green – Book Review
I think the problem with reading a John Green book is that if you started with the exceptionally heart breaking but amazing book of his - The Fault in our Stars, then every other book that you read, although good in their own way, kind of falls short in comparison. I had read Paper Towns … Continue reading Looking for Alaska by John Green – Book Review
The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty (Daevabad Trilogy #1) – Book Review
I was completely engrossed and utterly confused by the time I finished this book! This book wasn't on my radar to read initially in March, and I hadn't even heard of it, until I started coming across multiple glowing reviews to the second book in the series - Kingdom of Copper, in the book blogging community. … Continue reading The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty (Daevabad Trilogy #1) – Book Review
Hippie by Paulo Coehlo – Book Review
I'm a member of a Goodreads book club, and as part of their destination reading challenge this year, we were asked to travel to a place in South America, or read a book written by an author from that area, for Feb's challenge. I couldn't finish the book within Feb, so I can't get my … Continue reading Hippie by Paulo Coehlo – Book Review
Heir of Doom by Jina S. Bazzar (Roxanne Fosch Files #2) – Book Review
I like series, where each book is a continuation from the previous, answers some questions but also has some questions pending to be answered, and do not end on a massive cliffhanger! And Jina S. Bazzar's second book in the Roxanne Fosch Files, has all of this 🙂 I had the pleasure of reading the … Continue reading Heir of Doom by Jina S. Bazzar (Roxanne Fosch Files #2) – Book Review
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James – Audiobook Review
I am so confused. Has anyone else read this book and come out equally confused? Why are most Classics written in a way that is exceptional and yet makes you think and think long after the book is over, because we don't have straightforward answers in the book? I listened to the audible audiobook version … Continue reading The Turn of the Screw by Henry James – Audiobook Review
Feisty at Fifty by Sudha Menon – Book Review
Before you all go jump into getting any ideas, I'm not 50 yet. But, that doesn't stop me from reading books from women who have reached that amazing age and inspire women heading there (like me), and say fear not, 50 is actually really amazing! I had picked up this book at a whim at … Continue reading Feisty at Fifty by Sudha Menon – Book Review
Next Year In Havana by Chanel Cleeton – Book Thoughts
Why is love so convenient in fiction? Also, how do people manage to fall in love at first sight, without knowing anything about the other person? I've never understood or liked this concept in books somehow. My January destination for the 'Have books, will travel' book club was Cuba. I had heard rave reviews for … Continue reading Next Year In Havana by Chanel Cleeton – Book Thoughts
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab – Book Review
The beginning of mid week today has been a frustrating and annoying one so far. Too many strangers have given me some unwanted opinion or advice, and nothing that was helpful. I really wish I had that Black London stone to escape into Red London for a bit or even better, I wish I had … Continue reading A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab – Book Review
Shadow of night (All Souls Trilogy #2) by Deborah Harkness – Audiobook Review
I am so glad of the various mediums of books us readers have at our hands these days. Paperbooks, kindle or e-books, audiobooks - if you really want to read, there is no excuse not to read really! 😉 I had read the first book of Deborah Harkness's All Souls Trilogy, last year - A Discovery … Continue reading Shadow of night (All Souls Trilogy #2) by Deborah Harkness – Audiobook Review
