Grey's Anatomy / McDreamy and My Exams

Exams. The more I say, the less it seems. As to why I am writing this? Obviously because my exams are on my head. Am I prepared? I am a student living in the 21st century with a smartphone, a laptop, Netflix, torrent, whatsapp, facebook and not to forget Game of Thrones latest episodes releasing week after week. How am I supposed to take out time for studying when my days are so full? I have absolutely no time for academics. Don't want to whine or anything but it's even harder for me since I am also a reader. Along with the per-minute distractions of my phone and weekly fiasco of GOT, vampire diaries, and the emotional drama with Derek aka McDreamy dying in Grey's Anatomy, I have to keep up with my reading, because letting go of books is just not in my dna. Now that I have mentioned it, Derek is dying or dead, next episode  is his funeral and I can't digest it. It hurts like a bitch. How can he die? So unfair. The grief is beyond measure. Yes, I fall in love with fictio

Billionaire Season: The Long Hot Summer - Kimball Lee

Do not read. This is the first thing that comes to my mind when I write about this book. It was a torture and I pretty much skipped most parts of it. The writing style is so bad that I wonder whether the author has ever read any book and did she even show this to an editor? If she did, then fire that editor right away. The characters are weird. I honestly have no other words for them. Storyline couldn't be more absurd. But the worst of all is the writing style. Kimball Lee, I am afraid hasn't mastered the art of writing. She isn't even an amateur. That's how bad it is. The dialogues in the book go on and on, I mean come on, no one speaks that much. The characters are so straight forward they say everything. EVERYTHING. I couldn't have chosen a worse book to read. I would give this a 2/10 rating. Which in case you didn't know, means poor. Usually I am quite happy if I get to download a book for free on Kindle but in this case- why god, why did I download it?

Forever Dreams - Leeanna Morgan

Montana Brides Book 1 I was pretty excited to read this book, countryside with hot cowboys, you can't wish for a better setting, though I am 100% a city girl, there is something about country romance that makes it so raw and exotic. So here, Gracie comes from New Zealand in search of her father and ends up falling in love with the hot-as-hell cowboy Trent she's bunking with. And the story goes on and on until they finally end up together. I would rate this book a 4/10. There is so much happening and so many elements that it takes away the focus from the actual love story. And we all know that the best love stories are the simple ones. Moreover there is hardly any romance, like next to none and cowboys are the epitome of wooing. There is a ball, a dance, a trip to Vegas and nothing connects. Yes, you know as well as I do how it's going to end, but it just doesn't make any sense. I was hoping for a whirlwind romance and instead all I got was disappointment. -_- I wou

To Love A Lady - Cynthia Sterling

Titled Texans Book 1 In this book the British nobility comes to the States. Or more likely a prim and proper lady crosses continents to marry her fiance, who doesn't wish to be tied down. The man is reveling in his freedom in Texas, away from his family, demands of his father and his duties. He feels that Cecily (his fiance) is another one of his father's tricks to force him back in England, one he isn't going to fall for. But we all know he is going to fall in love. And when duty calls, like all honourable men, he will do as required. I won't disclose the whole story here, but what I will tell you is that this book is okayish. If you are a fan of historical romance and you pick up this book hoping for balls and luncheons and a whirlwind romance, then you are mistaken. Even the storyline isn't innovative or exciting. In the starting you feel that something new or interesting might happen, but it is not so. The problem isn't so much in the setting as it is in t

See you again - Wiz Khalifa (Furious 7)

Wiz Khalifa has outdone himself with this song. It literally gives me chills whenever I listen to it. And tears too. "It's been a long day without you my friend. And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. We've come a long way from where we began, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again." As soon as the song starts I see an image of Paul Walker in my head looking sideways with his hands on the stearing wheel. He will be sorely missed. Fast and Furious is just not the same without him. I still can't believe he's gone. More often than not we take life for granted and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this - we didn't know him, but we all mourned him. We only know his name, we have seen his movies and that's all, but still we cared. You can't judge a person by his looks but we connected with Paul through his movies. We miss his smile and his startling blue eyes. Not all of us are his die-hard fans and probab

Evidence of Trust - Colarado Trust Series:1

A book by Stacey Joy Netzel. To describe it in one word - nice. It is a city girl in a country setting surprisingly one who is comfortable in it. There's a new hot ranger in town and sizzling chemistry between these two. But there's a threat of a poacher lurking around the corner. The girl has to return to the city at the end of summer and the ranger will move on  to a new town. How will they stay together and manage to confess the their love to each other? What will it take? And peeps that is the story. They have to fall in  love and they will end up together, we all know that. But how does it happen? That is what keeps us curious and go through all the books that we have read so far. I will give this one a 7/10 rating. Even though it's good, there is nothing new and nothing very exciting. PS. The book is available  for free on kindle. Do check it out. Till the next one. Xoxo

Reader

As the title says. I am a reader. I average  on mostly 1 book a day, sometimes even more. It's a hobby or you  can even call it an obsession. I need to read, I have to. When I have nothing else to do, guess what I do? Obviously read. It is like I crave stories, I crave an escape. I want to know, I want to feel, be something I never will. In reading I thrive. In books I live. These words are like food for my soul. And most importantly i read everything. Anything i can get my hands on. I love fiction- Jeffrey Archer being my favourite, John Grisham not too far behind and Suzanne Collins is always there. But recently I have been reading a lot of Romance and seems like I have fallen in love. With  the genre, not literally. So that being said, I feel it's  only fitting that I atleast review the books I have read and share my views with others. Happy reading everyone. Xoxo
