  Book review:

🌸Living Dreams is a collection of love, beliefs , values and dreams. It comprises of two stories ," The Spice Connect and "The Golden Key". Each one is described in 5 chapters. Dreams be a part of the story or a part of you one never gets to know.

Book review: Negotiating the new Normal

 Book review:

🌸 Due to coronavirus shock strong economic recovery in the developed world is more doubtful than ever. Discussing new dimensions and the way out from these setbacks, this book answers all the arising questions with new stock ideology and many more.

🌸 This book is an attempt by the author to navigate the melding of geopolitics and geoeconomics in this era. The idea to show that irresistible currents may be shaping policy and that they are not contingent upon the idiosyncratic behaviour of any leader in particular.

🌸 The book attempts to show that pandemic -era trends are not really that new at all, but have been in making since at least the  GFC. The pandemic has only served to accelerate these trends which for better or worse will hold sway over the lives of Earth's inhabitants for the foreseeable future.

🌸 The author has deeply researched each and every detail providing a new vision after Covid. He shares many stories providing a vivid picture of the scenario and the way to deal it. The best part of this book is it provides a brief explanation of terms of finance or other typical economic abbreviations used for any lay man to understand the concept better.

🌸 I hardly read economics but this book changed my opinion. It is a well compiled book with thorough research, perfect finding, analysis and better suggestions to enact. The flow kept me intact  about what got destroyed due to pandemic , who actually suffered , how common people had to pay the price and now when its almost over, how the problem of the post pandemic havoc must be tackled , to find a pathway on the road of growth.

🌸 I enjoyed reading this book immensely and would recommend this book to all.

🌸 Happy Reading!

Book review : Frizzy

Book review :

Frizzy hair entangles everything what if you are born with thick and curly hair and frizz cannot be managed at all. This is a story of dear Marlene who loves three things: books, her cool Tía Ruby and hanging out with her best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only thing she needs to focus on is school and "growing up." That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have "presentable", "good hair".

Does straightening means presentable  ? So many queries emerge when you start reading. I delved into lots of emotions and felt pity for little Marlene who was stuck and helpless at times. She suffered teasing and controlled her wishes just to keep her Mom happy or her hair tangled. But with the help of someone close she learns to sort out the frizz and accept her as she is ..

 "Adults are such weirdos. They say stuff like 'it's what on the inside that counts' but then the one thing they can't stop talking about is looks!"

"Be yourself, honesty is the best policy, and then don't be yourself, be what other people want"

I think it's fitting for its target audience to learn self-acceptance, especially at this crucial stage of adolescence as often, teens compare themselves to what society or their parents say they should be like. I love to see Marlene also getting all the support she could get to help her has an idea of who she is in the eyes of other people. It's just so emotional yet heartwarming.

"We learn things from our parents, who learn things from their parents, who learned that from their parents. It doesn't make those things okay to believe...”

The graphics of the book is very pretty and heart touching. I enjoyed reading this book immensely. I am thankful to @Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this book in return of an honest review.

Book review: Women and their World

  Book review:

🌺 This book is a collection of seven stories weaved in an adroit manner. Women have so many shades. At times they hesitate to speak or take a stand just not to hurt their loved ones. Is it their cowardness or love for their close ones??? Such emotions and expressions of different ages of women is shared in the form of elusive tales in this book.

🌺All The seven stories are different. Each with a new field or base. The author has well penned the storyline giving life to the characters and depicting the hidden emotions of women of different ages.

🌺 Reading these stories felt like reading someone's true life story. All were marvellous but my favourite is "A tale of two Sisters" and "Cutting Chai". The story hooked me such that I finished reading this book in one sitting.

🌺 Quote from the book that truly touched me:

" A regret that spoke of heartache, theirs and in the process Nibbu's ; A regret that their ego tussle had left their child injured".

🌺I relished reading these stories and would recommend this book to all.

🌺Happy Reading!

Book review: Under the Mistletoe and other stories

 Book review:

🌸 This book is a collection of short stories related to Christmas and New Year events when Santa comes to deliver gifts to all his children. The stories comprises of hope, love, healing, new beginnings , acceptance, and much more.

🌸 Each story embarks a different lesson and diving new horizons. The book talks about loss and grief, bondings, new blooming romance and many more.

🌸This book teaches us that as long as we do not allow ourselves to take a step forward, suffering will always be our master. 

"Naughty or nice" was childish and heartwarming. It is a brilliant stroke by the author as it attempts to explain how to interact with a child on a topic that should be implemented at a young age. The other stories are good as well.

🌸My favourite story was “A Foggy Memory”. I found the main character Samantha visiting Benakatti to be very relatable to some of the experiences that I have recently gone through. Some more stories that I liked are - ‘Elfish Grinch’, ‘Naughty or Nice’ & ‘Secret Santa’. 

🌸 The author has beautifully presented the stories and a bit of poetry sections inbetween. All the stories are heart warming.The poetry pieces include- ‘The Pudding Story’, ‘The Ginger bread Experiment’, & ‘ The Unwarm Welcome’.

🌸 I loved reading these stories and would recommend this to all who like reading short stories.

🌸 Quotes from the book that really touched me:

"To love someone, you must also love their darkness."

" You have to experience sadness to know happiness. Know that there will be always sunshine after it has rained!"

" Half of our lives are spent trying to make those things last that aren't supposed to last."

🌸 There are many verses but I liked Journey, Smile, Scribbling , Void , Taste and many more.. The author has well penned the unsaid in verses  that touches readers heart.

🌸 I loved reading this book immensely and would recommend this book to all.

🌸 A beautiful collection of enthralling stories and related poems. Each story has a deep insight teaching a unique lesson which we learn with our hardcore experiences.

Hugs can tell you about a man's essence.

It can talk to you without a license and give you strong vibes, 

In any language. When what is man more than a mere quintessence?"

The chains touched the darkest corners of the human heart.

Lurching forward for butter and bun , the chains would often prod me.

But I had less to worry."

🌸 Diaries withhold deep secrets or fears that anyone wants to hide from the rest of the world or dare sharing it with anyone.

Such a story is this book which is a riveting personal account of unforgettable childhood dreams, complicated relationships, human resilience and never ending journey of growing up.

🌸 This book is a story about finding hope in the darkest of times that will brighten your day...Though reading this book or diary intrigued a lot of questions and curious to know the secrets that were confided in the diary from so long. Many questions got its answers but many got a new perspective and a deep insight was coming into picture.

Book review : A Cindrella for Prince's Revenge

Book review : 

Emmy Grayson’s A Cinderella for the Prince’s Revenge is a first rate romantic read from this fast-rising star of the Harlequin Presents line. It is a story of revenge, betrayal and love. The chemistry between Cass and Briony is remarkable.

Capturing regal life and monumental luxury, Emmy Grayson, writes a beautiful about the most funny and delightful Princess who is paired against the most beautifully strong and handsome Prince. Swirling in the background is truly awful families which add to the fairy-tale. Attraction is instant but is Briony ready to enter the loveless marriage Cass is offering? Cass's slow burn revenge is his sole driver. Any appeal to Briony is more an inconvenient aversion to his main goal. The transformation from Cinderella to Princess is most enjoyable.

A Cinderella for the Prince’s Revenge is a spellbinding contemporary romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Briony and Cass’ love story is highly-charged, angsty, emotional and one that tugs at the heartstrings. The two of them are evenly matched and brilliantly suited and readers will love every single second they spend with them.

I loved reading this book completely and would recommend this book to all romantic book lovers. I am thankful to netgalley and the publisher for providing me the book in return of an honest review.

Book review : Papa 2

 Book review : 

Papa 2 is the book , the sequel of the papa series by the author. This one started from the note where the previous one ended. This book is psychological thriller with some elements of horror too.

The characters in the storyline are highly intriguing. The plot is well versed and crafted beautifully to hook the readers throughout. Though it was bit difficult to manipulate who was the real murderer but the twists and turns are terrific and unexpected.

The author has well penned the storyline with lots of twists and a fast paced story. The horror element is bit terrific but good for all horror book readers. I usually don't opt for horror books but this one is too good. 

All Characters are independent, determined and tough. To take the situation under control no matter the consequences. All the characters were really provoking in the sense of living up to the things we ever wanted. This book is excellent from an entertainment point of view.

I loved reading this book and would recommend this book to all thriller and horror book lovers.

Book review : The Trophy Case

Book review:

The Trophy Case by Kelly Swan Taylor is the second book in the WRIGHT Detective Series. Easy going, full of sleuthy teens and consistent putting up hard work to achieve their goal.

Teen super sleuth Tessa Wright and her TSLR Detective Agency are determined to bring the trophy home before eighth grade starts in the fall. Tessa and her friends are putting up their hard core efforts to find out who took the trophy. She bit hesitates to take the help of her father as he is bit busy in break ins going on in the city.

After the birth of Tessa's brother her life too changed. Her mother was not able to run with her often due to her increased work. Though Her father tries his best to render all sufficient help at all times. The bonding between Tessa and Cam is taking time.

The author has touched all possible traits and i really relished each part after reading its first book in series The Mysterious Locker notes. The age gap between Tessa and her brother and the problems or issues that arise due to that is well predicted. She also highlights the teen Tessa growing, Her father being protective for her, Her friends who are experts in different fields, the mess up when you have a small kid at home, seeking help to do house old chores, her liking for Mason or Rick. 

 Few Quotes from the book are quite inspiring. Few quotes explain the dedication of Tessa towards her work despite being sore or enjoying with her friends in summer.
 

It was quite interesting to find out how she will reach till the real culprit and what was his real motive behind. I was so hooked up that i finished the book in one sitting. Waiting for the next book in series.

I loved reading this book and would recommend all the sleuths to read this book. Good book for all teens.

Both of them trying their level best to lessen the pain of others as per their knowledge. But their love could not meet due to certain misunderstandings.

💧After sixty years when Simon's grandson unravels the secrets of his grandpa during a research. A lot  of twists and turns with a rollescoaster ride are marvellous. The way their love gets life and relive their backdrop love is heart- touching.

💧The author has  brilliantly depicted is the dichotomy of life away from the jungle, the beaches and gin and tonics on hotel verandas. He has well penned strong relationships and the importance of those, from close family relationships and the conflicts that sometimes arise in that area, strong friendships in times of struggles and passionate romantic relationships too. 

💧I loved reading this book immensely and would recommend this historical fiction to all. I am thankful to Kelly @lovebookstours and @booksirens for gifting me this book in return of an honest review.

Book review: Nobody likes an outsider

 Book review:

🌸 The story revolves around Yohan Tytler , a CBI official who is sent along with his two associates to investigate a case.This high promise case brings a lot of twists and turns that hooked me up.

🌸 Quotes from the book:

" A deceptive friend at home is worse than an angry enemy on the streets."

"A common man had to forego his teaching profession and enter active politics to take on powerful enemies."

🌸  The writing is quite smooth and appealing. The book adds to the replica of modern state of politics in our country and how youngsters can be a role model to change the present scenario for a bigger change.

🌸 I loved reading this book and looking forward to more of author's books. I would recommend this thrilling experience to all.

Book review: This is not a lie

 Book review:

🌸This is not a lie is a book based on true love story internalised in the early 80's. The story is about Joel Reed , the lead guitarist and Harry Engel , the singer. They are grappling with living their true selves amid fears of the very real consequences of being outed - for their person as well as for the band as a whole.

🌸 All the group members of the band are extraordinary experts in their respective fields as well as cooperative too. They value each other's worth and try to help in their issues.

🌸 The author has well penned the story of the struggle of the fictional band. The story is gritty, detailed and dramatic . The fear of consequences and the struggles they are making is well predicted. The intensity of emotions and emotional rollercoaster is marvellous.

Book review: Threads of trust

  Book review:

🌸This book is a collection of enthralling poems having a deep impact . Each poem refers of different perspectives and emotions. The deep insight to the perspectives is marvellous.

🌸Though all the poems are pouring a powerful image of lots of feelings. Many poems like Such is love, An inch of life, delusional mind, Identity , Separation, Who am I?and many more really touched me.

🌸Proses from few of the poems I would like to share:

" Silence

Thus , spoke love 

A language

Draped in

Cacophony of silence!"

" An acquired dimension

Of human evolution

Curbing the wild

Negating the emotions

Refusing to accept

The realm of known intentions!"

🌸 I loved reading these poems and would recommend this book to all.

Book review: Homecoming : Will you ever be mine?

 Book review :

" If you felt compelled to say it, they give you are probably right about it. Your father always taught you to believe in your gut feeling".

These words echoed in her ears when the protagonist of the story Anupama , a spoilt child of a Bollywood bigwig takes a witty decision. After the death of her father she is left with nothing. She has to start a new. A lot of secrets that dwelled deep in her heart take a U-Turn after 9years when she get to meet Kartik Khurana again.

Facing each other was not an easy task for any of them. But to deal with their previous issues in present was well crafted by the author. The love in between them was given a second chance.. Despite having anguish in their hearts with love to its extremity...That combination was really mesmerising. 

The author has well penned the rollercoaster of emotions and the varied scenarios of the story. Anupama's feelings as a daughter to miss her mother throughout her life or the compressed emotions of a girl to feel for her true love. 

I loved reading this book and this is my second book by the author and i really cherished it. I would recommend this book to all romance book lovers. 

Happy Reading!

Book review: Craved by a wolf

 Book review:

💗 Craved by a Wolf was a fun, flirty, thrilling and suspenseful read. It had me laughing while keeping me on the edge of my seat. The events of this installment took place within in the same timeline as Inflamed by an Incubus.  I had blast as I followed Hella and Grant while they navigated the many obstacles hampering their efforts to seal their bond. A bond which will see them mating them for life.

💗  She was feisty, clever, cheeky, determined but  stubborn - that she had gotten herself into some kind of tight spot made me wonder just which one of those traits was the cause.  An unknown witch has crushed his ego in front of an audience in the fae town he was visiting, but to boot, she’s just cursed him to die, but  she also informed him he has a fated mate who he has to find. Thus starts a journey and adventure that Kin never imagined himself on.

💗 The story was actioned packed, had suspense, humour and tons of heat. The author has well penned the characters and done complete justice to the plot. 

💗 I loved reading this book and would recommend this book to all. I am thankful to netgalley and the publisher for giving me this book in return of an honest review.

Book review : Tales of Hamlet

 Book review:

This book is a charming book – a quirky travelogue written by a somewhat eccentric middle-aged English lady. She shares her experiences when she roams in Italy and the rollercoaster of events that startled her firmly.

 Cassandra, a single and peripatetic Brit, was asked to pack up her house and move to Italy to take up the offer of a much-needed job. But after 15 months, she was made redundant, leaving her unnerved, broke and unable to return home. Her dream of a new life was rapidly turning into a nightmare and saddled with all her belongings, her antique furniture, over 800 books and her aged Siamese cat she had nowhere to go.

The story projects how she survived in troublesome conditions and challenging scenarios. Though she enjoyed the beauty of Italy but the twists and turns were shaking her a bit but didn't break her. She  evoked as a fighter for transformations that were going on in her and changing her into a stronger human being. The journey of all the events was mesmerizing.

I loved the beauty expressed of Italy and the mouth - watering food that was attracting me a lot. The language of the book is lucid and relished each moment reading this book.

I am thankful to Kelly @lovebookstours for gifting me this book in return of an honest review. I would recommend this amazing read to all.

Book review : Alone in the sea of Abdomens

 Book review :

 Life is a combination of luck in a sea of Abdomens. This book is a memoir of the author expressing her suffering and a guide to the all the issues that women generally ignore due to negligence or feeling shame in expressing.

In this book the author shares her experience of suffering from endometriosis and how with the help of proactive doctors she evolved as a true warrior against female issues and all the pain.

The author has explained each and every medical term associated with this issue in lucid terms. This book acts a boon for all females who don't even recognize their issue and keep on suffering from these issues all alone.

I am thankful to Kelly @lovebookstours for gifting me this book in return of an honest review. I loved reading this book and learnt a lot of things. A short but information compact form of this book is recommended to all.

Happy Reading!
