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.

    Hey, I recently discovered your blog. It is so amazing. How do you manage to binge upon so many books? I am a bibliomaniac, but seriously I lag behind in my deadlines so often I have started hating my passion for books.

      Hey Merlyn,
      This post was written when I was still in college. Now that my college days are over, I am lucky to manage one book a week. It doesn't matter how many books you read but how reading makes you feel. That feeling is better than anything else in the whole, entire world.

Pain

What nobody told us  it never gets better it only gets older sometimes duller.  It stays with you like that ache that you are used to one that doesn't hurt anymore just exists. One fine day you woke up  not the same, an ache where there was none now a part of you follows you where you go grows as you grow older.

Book Review: Leah On The Offbeat

You know it is a good book when it ends up schooling you. I am too old to read high school drama anymore but seeing people rave about Simon vs The Homosapiens Agenda and Leah On The Offbeat, I finally gave LOTO a try. And boy am I glad. Initially sceptical, because the writing style is aimed at teenagers, the first few chapters were a bit difficult to get through. I found the language exceedingly plain, it was overall too kiddish.  It was when the characters developed in the next few chapters, that I was hooked. I have yet to read such great character development in a high school book.  Let's start off with Leah. She is your average protagonist -  angry at the world, a broken family, overthinking things, overweight, smart, the only difference, she isn't lonely. She has a lot of friends. Oh and the fact that she is bi, secretly. As we delve further into the book, her layers peel off. She is in love with a girl who is dating her best friend who happens to...

Those Pricey Thakur Girls - Anuja Chauhan

My only problem with the book is... WHY didn't I read it before! This is one incredible book that literally makes you laugh out loud. It shows a very relatable and realistic image of an Indian household, though having five sisters, alphabetically named, isn't all that common. It is set in a contemporary age which still applies to the Indian society. The hyper, socially conscious mother, with the laid back father, their bickering, tension regarding the marriage of five daughters, arguments related to property, claiming their hissa or part, younger sisters living in the shadow of their elder nemesis. The lives of the sisters and their characters are as different as their names. The eldest and prettiest married rich but is dissatisfied being unable to conceive, second one wasn't that lucky in the money department but has twins and sued her own father for her hissa, third ran away a day before her marriage and has been disowned by the family, fourth is her father's fav...
