Happy Birthday John Green!
I remember the time when I had no idea who this author was. I remember that after reading one novel by him, I’d ended up reading all the rest in a short time. I remember the time when I didn’t know how to cry...
Overcoming Writer’s Block. (Monday Moments #13)
Last Monday I had written about how she got herself in a writer’s block. In continuation, here’s the moment where she overcomes it. 10 days passed and she was still in her block of confusion. She looked it up online but nothing proved to be an...
The Kite Runner. (Book Review #17)
Introduction: The Kite Runner is a book which I had heard about since a decade. I was always intrigued about the story but never thought of finally taking it up. And when I did, it blew my mind. After reading Khaled Hosseini’s ‘A Thousand...
Life Skills.

Everything, Everything. (Book Review #16)
Introduction: Nicola Yoon’s debut novel ‘Everything, Everything’ is a simple story which a young reader will enjoy. I wouldn’t categorize it into ‘Young Adult’ as it’s kind of a kiddish novel. It’s the story of Madeline who has a disease and has to remain in isolation...
