“We never really talked much or even looked at each other, but it didn't matter because we were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe even more intimate than eye contact anyway. I mean, anybody can look at you. It's quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see.” Can…

THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END

I just finished reading this book - 11 December, 2020 at 2.57 am. It's been an hour...almost. And I have finally gathered my thoughts; enough to type this. And I want to say that I literally have nothing to say about this book, that I have no words at all. But that would be a lie. I have so much to talk about. I have so many things that I want to say, but I can't say anything at all. I can't form a single thought. I don't think I can review this book. I couldn't find a single folly, a single flaw. I think I loved it a bit too much. I read this book in a day. "I loved it from here to there." Wonderfully crafted, beautifully written.

GUEST POST: Be Selfish|| Author: Kellie Doherty📚

Writing is often romanticized—with images of writers tucked close to a writing desk scribbling on notebooks for hours on end, or sitting by a fire with a glass of wine in hand penning poetry for ages, or hunkered down in a coffee shop typing madly away on a computer for half a day. But any…

NOVEMBER WRAP-UP

It feels like yesterday that I wrote the "October Wrap -Up" post! Gosh! That was real quick! November has been a very interesting month. I read quite a few books, but I read most of them for the sake of reading it (so I get the reference when people talk about it), then I discovered…

MY SIDE OF HER STORY

It is a story that reminds you of the power of women's love.This book was an easy read - you can read it in one -sitting. It's not exactly a gripping read, but you can easily fly through it........ I am not gonna lie.....really sweet moments...they make me cringe. And I cringed at least twice in every chapter! So, tread carefully...don't venture into this story if you don't have a sweet tooth!

BELIEVE BY JULIE MATHISON

I am not gonna lie guys....but this is one of the best books that I have read in a while. This definitely goes down in my list of "All Time Favourite Books".

FAVORITE FRIDAY#5

This book has underground tunnels, mist -shrouded castle, sinister characters, great friendships and a mystery bigger than what you can imagine. I loved the entire series, but this book, particularly has stayed with me. I have loved it. My love for mysteries and thriller books was born from this book...this series.

THE SIX MURDERS IN SEATTLE – book talk#5

Inspired by Sherlock Holmes, this book is a really quick read and will only take you an hour or so. The story follows quite a few flawed characters, which are well developed and have a back story with distinct personalities. One thing I like about it is, the author provides you with a vivid description of each and every character.
