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…

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.
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…
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
After Harry Potter and Twilight series I believe this is another hit for the same genre. Loved the main character, specially her love for her sister. That truly had me till the end, maybe coz I could relate. The twists in the story and the peppering of characteristics of the various players in the fame thrown in make for…
Whiteout by Ken Follet
Read this last week and after ages found a different style of writing. It’s my first Ken Follett book and I was pleasantly surprised. The descriptions of scenarios and relationships are vivid and real. You don’t feel like skipped through paragraphs to get to the real stuff. The story’s characters, without going into extreme detail of psychology are thick.…
Absolute Power
Okay, so I’m way behind on my reviews but I Am making a note of all the books I’m still reading so some day soon, I’ll catch up. Here’s a short one on the above. Read this one last week. David Baldacci doesn’t fail to impress but it takes patience upto the 250th or so page to finally realize that…
The Pretend Wife
What a refreshing read!! Most of us spend our whole lives figuring out what Love and Marraige is all about. And we never know till we experiment with love and never know till we finally get married. Both can be exclusive and inclusive, depending on the individuals in question. This book brings forth questions that most of us carry around…
61 Hours
I am senselessly in love with Jack Reacher. I just love his sense of honour, honesty and all that’s wrong with the world. I love the way Lee Child puts across the tale from beginning to end, keeping you tied up in each scene and dialogue. Didn’t enjoy this outing as much as the others though, as the suspense is…
Small Town Odds
I picked this book up on a whim and what a whim it was. It’s incredible how some books can teach you a lot about life without actually preaching about anything. As I stayed up late night and today morning finishing this book, I was continuously amazed by the subtle nuances of life shown and the humor portrayed in the…
