Writer's block?

So it has been ages since my last review..
Yeah, yeah I'll stop with the dramatics now, it has been two-three weeks and it's not a big deal. Yet it is. See the problem is that's how long I have gone without reading a book and it doesn't sit well with me. I lose myself when I am not reading. "Fuel to my soul" kinda thing.

It isn't like I haven't touched a book at all or anything, because who am I kidding, I can't survive like that. I am still stuck on Emma! It is so frustrating that I can't finish that book, I just can't. Done with half of it but can't bring myself to be done with it. It is true, language of that era was very twisted, like the words are all strung together and no one says what they mean. You have to read a line twice to get the underlying meaning.

I mean I love, LOVE,  Pride and Prejudice  but now I feel it is solely for Mr. Darcy. He is the best male character written in history and my #1 Fictional Boyfriend. Yes, there is something inherently romantic about the way he and Miss Bennett talk, but that romanticism is seriously missing in Emma. The focus is on gossips and frills and set-ups and overall very boring which is why I haven't finished it yet. I have sworn not to read another book till I am done with this. And to add to my motivation is the fact that I have ordered the first and second part of ~ The Song of Ice and Fire, which I unfortunately haven't read yet and can't wait to.
Yayie!
Go Amazon!

Back to my books

So long peeps

Xoxo

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.

Man VS Pants

Here I am, sitting with my lappy, sipping on cold coffee and typing away. I would like to think I am just like anybody else but with all that goes around in my life, I have learnt to be prepared for the worst. Murphy's Law is basically me. Yesterday, I had an interview at a University. Like all hardworking students, I left everything for the last day. Scrambling to put my portfolio together, I paid no heed to my clothes. It's not like I had to put a lot of effort into my attire anyway. Interview requires formals and since I have just one pair of formal clothes, the indecision goes right out of the window. To give some context on why a working professional does not own a lot of formals is because my company (one of the kindergarden companies, also known as startups) does not require formals. Our dress code is casual. They are lucky I don't go to office in sweatpants. Now that would be casual! I own one pair of black pants, one shirt and one formal coat. Sorted? Not so ...

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...
