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,...

Hi Readers! You know I love a good mystery. But, lately, all I had been reading were cozy mysteries. So, reading The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels was a nice change of pace from those. It was not cozy, nor was it detective fiction and it was also...

Hi Readers! I promised a review of The Whale for you, so it’s finally here! When it comes to books I rate at 5 stars, I always have trouble reviewing them. I never wrote a review for some of my favorite books like All the Light You Cannot See,...

And now for Discovering India Readathon hosted by Padmaja (thebookishtales) and Avani (thequirkyblubookshelf), I have read That Long...
