The girl who wrote in silk – A book review
My rating - 5/5. This is my first historical fiction ever and I am glad I chose this book to get started on this genre. This is a heavy book. I could not read it continuously without putting it down every now and then. The book messed up my head and played with my emotions … Continue reading The girl who wrote in silk – A book review
The Midnight Library – A book review
Hey Ya'll, You do not know much about me, do you? I live and work in a small rural town where I grew up. All my friends went to far away lands after graduation, but I decided to stay put because I love my town very much. Every nook and cranny has a story that … Continue reading The Midnight Library – A book review
Think Like a Monk – A book review
I would rate this book a 5/5. It is a 500 odd page book. I can usually finish a book in 3 days but this one took longer since I had to contemplate as it is chock full of wisdom. I use a digital reading app to checkout books from my library. The app is … Continue reading Think Like a Monk – A book review
The Book of Longings – A book review
My rating - 4/5. I have mixed feelings about this book. It is divided into several parts and the first few read like a hymn / prayer. I was captivated by the flow and words, and could not put it down. The story is pure fiction and talks about Jesus before resurrection. He is married … Continue reading The Book of Longings – A book review
The Henna Artist – A book review
Rating - I give it a 4/5. I am a bit biased because I LOVE INDIA!!! This book is set in post colonial India when people are trying to seek their individual identities while treading carefully on and around societal norms. The author Alka Joshi does a splendid job of describing all her characters well … Continue reading The Henna Artist – A book review
Becoming Duchess Goldblatt – A book review
I would rate it a 2.5/5. This 200 odd page memoir is written by an anonymous author. Backstory - The author is very active on twitter with a huge fan following. She started a social media experiment as a fictional character (Duchess Goldblatt - DG) and was surprised with the massive interest it generated and … Continue reading Becoming Duchess Goldblatt – A book review
The Tenth Muse – A book review
This book was un-put-downable. I give it a 3/5. Huh? you say? Let me explain. Catherine Chung (the author) is a mathematician herself and sets out to write a story connecting mathematics and life. She is only partially successful in my humble opinion. I was so engrossed in the novel that I skipped meals and … Continue reading The Tenth Muse – A book review
Everything I Never Told You – A book review
I am not sure why or how I picked up 'Little Fires Everywhere' - Celeste Ng. I liked the book quite a bit and picked up her other book (title) and am reviewing that today. I would give this a 5/5 ( 5 - fantastic). The writing flowed well and the novel was tight. Celeste … Continue reading Everything I Never Told You – A book review
Crossing to Safety – A book review
I have been reading a lot hence the absence. I just finished reading Crossing to Safety - Wallace Stegner and feel inspired to share my thoughts with you. If I had to rate the book, it would be 3/5 (5 being too good!). Why this rating you ask? Let me see, I have never read … Continue reading Crossing to Safety – A book review
