I am a sucker for dystopian fiction, so I knew I would enjoy this book when I did get to read it. Why I hadn’t read it until now, was because of the subject of the book. The fact that I listened to the audiobook version narrated by the lovely Elisabeth Moss, slightly softened theContinue reading “The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood – Thoughts”

Saris and the City by Rekha Waheed – Thoughts
I skim read this book, once I was half way through and realised I wasnt invested in the story or any of the characters at all. For me, that’s as good as DNF-ing the book. This book was one of the South Asian Reading Challenge backlist BOTM for February and I really wanted to likeContinue reading “Saris and the City by Rekha Waheed – Thoughts”
Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones – Thoughts
No book is really worth reading at the age of ten, which is not equally, and often, far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond – C.S. Lewis Although I’m not fifty yet, I’m learning to appreciate the wise words of C.S Lewis, now that I have discovered and loved theContinue reading “Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones – Thoughts”
Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore – Thoughts
Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore My rating: 4 of 5 stars What a delightful beginning to the reading month of February – the month known for romance and love 😉 ❤ I’ve become a cynic when it comes to romance novels or movies in general, and usually avoid picking up anContinue reading “Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore – Thoughts”
My So-Called Bollywood Life by Nisha Sharma – Thoughts
“Picture the most romantic Bollywood song you can think of, and play that in the back of your mind, while reading this review and also while reading this book for the most impact 😉 :D” So, now that we have the background music set, lets start at the beginning. How I decided to read thisContinue reading “My So-Called Bollywood Life by Nisha Sharma – Thoughts”
Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi – Thoughts
Book two in the Orisha trilogy and the sequel for ‘Children of Blood and Bone’. I was expecting a lot from the second book since the first one had been a smashing debut that I had been completely pulled into. And like all things that I have great expectations with, this one left me disappointed.Continue reading “Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi – Thoughts”
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman – Thoughts
She thought of books as medication and sanctuary and the source of all good things. I think if I had a fantasy alternate life, I’d be living Nina Hill’s life. I literally felt like I was reading about a version of me living in a parallel universe! I think every reader who loves books toContinue reading “The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman – Thoughts”
A Ladder To The Sky by John Boyne – Thoughts and Book Exchange/Book Giveaway!
I had this book on my TBR shelf since a year, and thanks to the Unread Shelf Project 2020 challenge, I finally read this, and now I’m wondering, what took me so long? It’s a John Boyne book after all..I should have known he couldn’t go wrong, especially after A Heart’s Invisible Furies 🙂 HowContinue reading “A Ladder To The Sky by John Boyne – Thoughts and Book Exchange/Book Giveaway!”

A Gathering of Shadows (Shades of Magic #2) by V.E. Schwab – This Reader’s Thoughts
I’m already cursing myself that I finished the second book and don’t have the final one nearby, so I can start reading it already! Ugh!!! Because I am so considerate of everyone’s time (grin :D), if you don’t want to read the rest of my post and my thoughts, well, then, in a short summary,Continue reading “A Gathering of Shadows (Shades of Magic #2) by V.E.
