L oving you Twice (Jasmine Villa Book 2) written by Andaleeb Wajid . This book will come under the romantic genre. The book title is simple but also at the same time suitable for the Jasmine Villa series theme, as the title suggests this is the second part of the whole series. The book cover looks absolutely stunning and it gives that cozy 90s and 80s vibe that made me absolutely love this. As I said earlier this book is the second part of the Jasmine Villa series, but you can read this book as a standalone as well and you won't get any unfulfilled kind of feel for sure because the author has beautifully divided its parts in such a manner. There are three sisters Tehzeeb, Ana, and Athiya and this entire series is about each one of these sisters' love story in each book. The book "Loving you Twice" is about the second/middle sister "Ana Hasan" and her love and marriage.    The storyline of this book is so simple and neat. Ana has a crush on  Luqman Ahmed, th

T he Witch In The Peepul Tree written by Arefa Tehsin . This book will come under the suspense and thriller mixed genre.

Behind Latticed Marble: Inner Worlds of Women was originally written in Bengali by Jyotirmoyee Devi Sen, and translated from Bengali by Apala G. Egan . This book will come under the short stories genre. The title was so apt for the stories core presented in this book and also even the title itself creates us the curiosity to read this book. The cover image contains some classic and old vibes in it, which I absolutely love and it matches my taste buds. I always love to read a book that is about East Indian, and West India-based stories, because as a South Indian, I feel like those books will provide me the information about their lifestyle, culture, and idea about their whole life in general, as I was not aware of the same. I got my hands on this book because this book was originally written in Bengali and the author of this book was born in the late 1890s, the stories are also about the life of women and girls of that time. There is one thing that made me surprised about this book, wh
