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 various events of life. Anybody having a purpose that drives his/her daily life will find this book useful as it has that essence to lift one's energy up.
Besides the content, the writing was very descriptive and I understood the situations that was being talked about clearly. In fact the example incidents were from the very own life of the author and that was interesting. And I really wanted to send my wishes to the author on her success in life. The copy of mine had some jumbled pages at the end and that part accounts to some confusions. Despite that I found the book really cool and motivating.

I am so grateful that I got to read this book. The Daughters of Charchinar by Almas Hussain is a book that everyone should read atleast once in their lifetime. It hit me damn hard in so many ways. This book is about Nafisa and Meher, twin sisters born in the land of Charchinar where the life of women is not at all imaginable. They are raped as punishment for crime committed by the men in their family. They are killed just because they wish to pursue education. Charchinar is a land where girls and ladies are treated worse than a non-living thing. When I did read the blurb of the book, the line "Here, rape is a punishment and not a crime" itself made me feel so much scared and also it was then that I knew this book is a must read. The twin sisters lose their mother during their birth and from then they grew up in the kitchen and taken care by the cook Tuktuk. Their lives are impacted so much by the meaningless and barbaric rituals of Charchinar. The book then follows the life o...

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?

EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED BY JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER Have you read this book? If yes, what is your thought about it? It was the first book of mine in 2019 and believe me I took about a month to complete it. It was a very bad read for me. I literally did not like this one and I don't know why. The writing was humorous I agree!! But a huge NO...This is not my type. I did not post a review because I didn't know wat should I say. And today I came across this in my bookshelf and thought about sharing my experience with you.
