A Face For You

Image
To be honest I didn't think I'll love any love story and get affected by it. But reading ‘A Face for You’ was an emotional rollercoaster ride for me. The honesty with which the writer portraits the story makes it more relevant for today's time. The smoothly written and smartly chosen vocabulary make it so interesting that every time I decided to stop, my mind was like just one more chapter please...🥺. I really liked the way main characters Itika and Aryan and even other smaller characters were given their proper place and due space in story. I also liked the fact that author used the Indian languages between the lines spoken by characters giving it Indian personal touch. And the story... It is amazing. The twist and turn with all emotions covered, it gave a wholesome experience. I generally don't feel the sadness or happiness in the story easily but here I was into the same effortlessly. Even if you like romance books or not, you will like this one.The smoo

Deer in the Field of Venice

☘️As the name suggests the book is having deep metaphorical meanings weaven in it. A love story which leads to the discovery of self and realisation of unheard and unseen life secrets. 🌿The story begins with a secret shared by a newly graduated student to Father Maurice, a man of undisputed faith and a teacher who follows the path of rules to be followed. The journey then takes us to the three sister cities in Italy.🇮🇹 🌱Rome, Florence and Venice were narrated by author in a way that we don't have to envision the beauty of it as we are already having it in front of our eyes of mind. 🍀The journey of Father Maurice is not just for the discovery of love between people around but the most important love within for self and realisation of the truth not yet discovered by him which makes him questions all his belief and thinking. 🪻The compassionate observation and telented writing skills of author serves us the hearth drenching and deeply spritual awakening ending of the

The Song of Achilles

This is I'm writting just after finishing the book. So, it is based on the period and society which was very different than now. That's why many find it not suitable for them. For me Story and storytelling is more important and it's really good in that way. I didn't found any character as a favourite one but all were interesting enough to read. The drama was bit more than I expected and the narration was way long sometimes for me. Describing the small details may lend someone into the world of the story but it was just sending me to bed as it was making me sleepy. At the end because I love Mythology I was interested in this till the end but it was more of kind of love story. The adventures or action were lesser than my expectations whether at the time of learning in school or while fighting at battle field. Overall it was a average read for me.

⚔️Have you seen "The Witcher" series? Do you like the clash of clans? If answers are Yes then here is one of the gem for you. 🗡️This imaginary world takes us to the kingdoms with creatures unheard and who lives centuries. There are humans, too. And many more characters with lot of adventures. 🛡️This was best start 2023. I was not reading this but watching it. The praising words for the narration will not be enough to explain the experience I had.  ⚔️It's not an easy task to write lucid narration for stories like this but author archives the success of telling story in the normal speed with required details but without boring lengthy narrations.  🗡️I also liked the names as they were easy to remember which made the story more interesting to read which otherwise always spoil the mood for people like me who find difficulty in remembering them. 🛡️The twists were less but adventures were more and that made it simple yet effective read. The story smoothly went f

MultiRealm (The Vedic)

The story revolves around the characters of Bharatiya Sanatan Dharma-Puran.  There are three parallel lines of story going on which makes it more interesting and engaging read. Lucid narration with information and details give it depth required for making story plot and characters familiar. I like the style of storytelling and loved the details in war narration and suspence around the Shivling found on earth. I didn't find anything bad about the book as it was going on decent pace without any boring longer paragraphs. Without revealing any details I would just like to mention that it is really good book for fiction mythology lover.

Butterfly 🦋 Riddle

The one package 📦 with diary and dead butterfly creating mystery which make you glued to the seat (bed in my case) and complete the full book in a seating.  Sounds funny?  Well, the story is also written in that funy manner which let us be engaged in it.  You can't resist yourself from flipping the pages to read little bit more & more & more and all of sudden you'll see only few pages are left only and so, you'll complete it anyway. The best part is there is over description of unnecessary stuff which make it fast paced suspence mystery book.  The characters are great which never overpower their limits in the story as required in any book but not present in most of them. Highly recommended to all the fiction and mystery lovers. 

25 Lessons for Intellectual and Spiritual Freedom

Within first few pages only I realised that it is deep & amazing book. So, I decided to sip it little bit everyday to enjoy it fully. 25 short sweet chapters in 25 days. My morning started with this. A beautiful thought which make me think about it whole day and It was totally worth it because it helped me realise what I have forgotten. I have read Geeta & Bhagvat Puran. And this small book resonate with those ideas fully. So, I got all those memories back which faded in time of wisdom and life. The way spirituallity and life is interconnected is told here perfectly. And even if it is told again and again I want to say it again; we should not wait to seek spritiuality till old age but start the journey in childhood only. Then only we can live peaceful and happy life which we all ultimately seeking. Instead of regreting in later years of life why didn't we try to find out the answers we were seeking deeply for in our mind whole life. The topics are devided in 3 s

A very sweet nice and yet very emotional 🥺 stories which was unable to make me cry. Tbh I found stories which are unorganic in its creation. It is like you can feel that it is made up story. There are many fictions which you'll find real unless it is told as fiction even if there are unusal things like magic. But characters of these stories were amazing. I liked them all & only due to them I was able to complete the book.  So, in short character creation - Amazing🤩 but story plot and structure - 😒.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

I really liked it. The suspence and twist every time really made me read it as soon as possible.I finished it early just due to that only 🙈. In first few chapters I was kind not connected with the writing style. But then as I learnt more about the story I felt attached and not only connected. I literally thought about the different possibilities of the end while doing other things. That's why I had to complete it fast to get out of thoughts😁. And I must say the end was unexpected and worthy waiting for. Thanks @paperback club for this picking up.
