ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE BY GAIL HONEYMAN


 This book was the one in hype for so long and I was super excited in reading this. But unfortunately I didn't get the hype that all others got but yes it is really a very good story .
It was totally a very deep story which someone will be living somewhere right at the moment and the thought of this forms a lump in my throat . Yes, the life of Eleanor Oliphant is tragically sad yet it is narrated in humorous way. I was laughing at many places.
This book talks about Eleanor Oliphant in her thirties who had a tragic childhood and is the brave survivor of it. She lives a completely isolated life and her loneliness completely sucks. One could in no way imagine such a life. She meets a singer and in first sight finds him to be the one made for her and to bring her out of her own life. Will Eleanor be able to come back to a normal life like others?The story unwinds her journey of dealing with the past and getting ready to face the future.
The writing of the story is so good. The level of humor is correctly portrayed and showed the sadness as well. The characters are only a few and is wonderfully plotted. Raymond of all is my favourite. The book was indifferent until the last where something unexpected appears and that was when I got to understand the intensity of what Eleanor was undergoing. Trust me it is worth reading.
The language was easy and had a very good flow for reading. The story gave me a message that I realize was that people deal with things that could be anything beyond our imagination. A single smile could be miracle in someone's life. The book was a very different experience for me not like those that I get crazy on but was a gentle read on the whole.

SIX  O F CRO WS BY LEIGH BARDUG O To begin with, it is th e collector's edition and the copy of the book is very much appealing to read. The plot of the story lies in a country called Kerch.

My January TBR pile

  Hey all! Its another year and I am super excited to read diverse genres and titles. Also, there are so many interesting books coming out this year and I have a list of releases that I can't wait for (which I will let you all know in the next week probably). Besides that, my tbr pile is ever growing and I have decided to jump into ten of them in the month of January. I am usually the one who picks up random books to read then and there but this year I've decided to set a dedicated to-read list each month. So let me give you a glance of my January reading plan. Hippie by Paulo Coelho   The first book that I've already started reading this month is Hippie by Paulo Coelho. I've heard mixed reviews abut this book considering the other works of the author and to be noted is that this book is my first experience with Coelho.  Hippie is an auto-bigraphical novel which talks about the journey that Paulo takes up from Brazil to Amsterdam which destined him to meet Karla.

BOOK SERIES REVIEW

THE CURSEBREAKERS SERIES BY BRIGID KEMMERER Reading has always been an inevitable hobby since my childhood and being that way, fairy tales are always special. Who doesn't love escaping what we know as reality and living in a magical land with mysterious and interesting creatures, witches, characters that we dream about, superpowers and what not? The Cursebreakers series has one such fictional world called Emberfall with totally lovable characters. I binge read this series last month and have been trying to post a review which is finally happening. For people who haven't heard of this series, it is a retelling of the Beauty and the Beast. I am going to share my thoughts for each book separately so that I can let you know as much as possible of my entire reading journey. There are going to be spoilers but I've marked the start and end of spoilers below so that if you don't want to be spoiled, you can skip those parts. Let's get started!
