“What is an anniversary? “, my son asked when I told him we will be celebrating our 10th this year. His sister came over to listen. “It’s the day your dad and I got married. ” The confused looks persist. “Were we there?” Hmmm .. I backpedal. “Well, kind of. You know the day you were born is your birth…

Author’s Honest Feedback
Suspended Animation
I honestly knew nothing about Shweta Ganesh Kumar till I got a copy of this book. And as it is with pleasant surprises, I am so glad that I found this treasure chest of tiny jewels that each shine with individual splendor. The title aptly describes each story. You read about every day people, people you may even know or have met over your life…
Lootera, Ranjhanaa, Oz, The Vow
Highlight of the past week has been that I’m in a romantic movies mode. It peaked with Lootera then came a deep LOW with Raanjhana, also saw Oz in the middle but then special effects are just for the ” wow ” factor and then came a nice little pondering with the Vow. Below are the romantic notions the movies…
Broken Prey
It’s been a long, long time since I came across a really good thriller. That has a perfectly twisty storyline and good deduction with optimal reasoning skills displayed with splashes of humor to thrown in. Pick this one up for those depressing days when you want a good brain teaser to keep you on the edge of your seat. Be…
Spying in High Heels
A fashionista searches for her lover when he gets lost, as she deals with the possibility of her becoming a mother even as she races with a detective for clues to fire her search. It’s a fun and light read to keep you entertained and smiling. A sweet and cheesy contribution to chick literature.
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
The third installment of the Hunger Games series of-course comes with the baggage of the level of the past two. In this book we find the ‘mocking jay’ taking up her role seriously understanding what the position entails. She as usual is figuring out her feelings of the two heroes and the politics that’s surrounding her. I personally was a…
The Poet
I loved the Lincoln Lawyer n many other Connely charachters. For me the foreword by Stephen King ruined the experience of reading the book. My expectations soared as the novel lagged behind trying to catch up. The plot of murders of homicide cops was good. The way the clues unfolded was well thought. The characters were beautifully sketched. What lacked…
The Time Traveller’s wife
What a truly beautiful piece of art. Just the kind of book a tired soul needs on a rainy day. The book holds onto you from the first page, carrying you forward into a world where love is magical. Not the I’ll bring the stars for you kind but the ” honey, you forgot to bring milk but I still…
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Takes long time to start n too emotionally stagnant. But as the book progresses the story seems to take off and fly. I personally loved the way emotions of all the protagonist are not limited to whether or not she loves Gale or Peeta, though that got old in the first book itself. The caring and support system that develops…
The Affair by Lee Child
My love for Jack Reacher and his every facet only grow with every read. It’s awesome how Lee Child can come up with such a wonderful concept and story line yet be willing to go against his own creation and choose Tom Cruise to portray the same. But I digress. This story is of the last case on which…
