BEARTOWN BY FREDRIK BACKMAN


Done with this and yayyy!!! Long read it was. I always wanted to sit for long and read this book but I was struck with something else and was travelling as well. I happened to read from just some 40 pages a day at maximum... to the least of single page a day. Such was my reading progress for this book unfortunately. Yeah! I know its bad. Yet, worth it folks!! .

Alright, I knew that Fredrik Backman is not going to disappoint me and he didn't. Though I was not spellbound as I did when reading The Man Called Ove, this book is another obvious testimony that Fredrik is a master writer and OMG!! I just love him for his writing. I have never read such casual books as his. So this book is about a town called Beartown where hockey is everything the town depends on. Its in the outskirts and is not recognized at all. So the people is beholden with hockey to make the town popular and well known. The story is so simple and contemporary to an extent that I could imagine it happening somewhere in the real world. No drama, no chaos but trust me the story just binds you with it. Its all about true feelings of different people. It helped me discover new perspectives of life from the eyes of the characters that are diversified. Peter, Amat and Ramona are my favourites of all for their characters that I had witnessed. There are certain pages where I was slowed down a bit but soon caught up with it. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for some gentle, casual and a relaxed read. Go for it!!

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?

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!

TURN THE TABLES BY PRIYA KUMAR First of all it was quite a different experience for me to read self help kind of book. But it was entirely not like how I have made an assumption about it. It was a good experience. There was no overflowing emotions that I find difficult to control while reading something fictional, although I love them. This was a very relaxed read for me. I read slowly, grasping every single sentence in it. And truely it was so inspirational. If you feel down or lack that quick pint of boost that is required at times to stay on track I will surely recommend this book. It was not entirely throwing mere motivational statements but was thought provoking with real time incidents described. This way I found it more engaging than I have expected it to be. The best part that I completely loved about this book is the set of questions that follow every chapter. It helped me greatly to relate the stuffs and to know myself deeper. I came to know new perspectives on vari...

WILD WORLD BY DEEPAK ARORA I am contented that I actually read this book and didn't miss it. Prior reading I had a perception that it is some sort of children's adventure. But this is a book that everyone of us must read. It is about a jungle called Wild World which also acts as a place for people who come for wildlife safari to spend some time amidst the peaceful life of the jungle. The tigers in the jungle are being reduced in number by the poachers until only Raja and Rani, a couple tigers exists. Of them Rani was taken to the city zoo and the forest life cycle is in complete danger. The jungle is in the verge of destruction. What will happen to the so rich beauty and resource of the nature? Will it survive the human greed that knew no bounds? . The story is so captivating and impressive. The narration is simple but trust me everyone will love it. A very strong and much needed message is conveyed through so gentle and beautiful story. I will surely recommend it to...
