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…

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 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…

Now You See Her

I love supernatural books. But as I read this one, it felt more like a mills and boons than a mystery or supernatural book. The heroine of the book slowly ( very slowly ) divulges that she has been noticing weird things happening around her.  As she discovers what is actually happening to her she finds herself embroilled with an amazing…

Satin Doll

Though the note at the back of the book is kind of misleading in a ‘ detour sign that fools you ‘ kind of way , Lillian Lewis from Booklist says ” A marvelous tale about not letting the past define one’s future. “ That I totally agree with. The story inspite of certain preconcieved notions of my own turned out…

Professor and Pregnant Nanny

Read a mills and boons kind of book after AGES. And honestly, after almost a decade of break from such light reading, found it very refreshing. The story has decent content with enough cute moments thrown in to keep your attention. Loved the moments with the kids and the interaction between the two. Don’t expect too much from it but…

The Undomestic Goddess

Sophie Kinsella has me hooked. I picked up the book yesterday evening and finished it by morning for I just couldn’t put it down. There is no great murder mystery, and you even know who the culprit is quarter way into the book. Yet, yet – the author’s colorful scenes and funny twists have you wondering what could possibly happen…
