Hi Readers! Every once in a while, you read a book that’s so simple but stays with you beyond measure. You can’t really pick one thing that you enjoyed or something specific you loved. It also becomes impossible to write about such books in the same manner you write...

Hi Readers! When I love a book, I can either write an unending review or I’m at a total loss for words. With The Lonely Castle in the Mirror, it’s the latter, and yet, here I am with my ramblings. This book was on my TBR for years, and...

Hi Readers! Another mood reading sojourn encapsulated me to pick up The Examiner by Janice Hallett. I made the mistake of starting the book on a Monday. I had loved Hallet’s previous book also of a similar genre of epistolary mystery fiction. So, I should have known better than...

Hi Readers, I read a book last weekend. Wasn’t expecting to finish it entirely in two days, but it had a hold over me. It’s a debut novel called Milk Teeth, and after reading it, I’ve found a new favorite author in Amrita Mahale. Since this was a debut...

Hi Readers! I am again in a funk reading wise, so thought I might at least share book reviews. When it comes to books I loved beyond measure, it’s either always very difficult or very easy to write their review. For Daytripper, it’s the former. I loved the book,...
