T he Ex Factor written Harini Srinivasan. This book will come under the contemprory romance fiction genre. The book has a title which pretty much provides us a hint of the story. Now let's talk about the cover image, I absolutely love the image it gives the retro vibe with the girl wearing a choker, and sunglasses, her hairstyle, and the color choice of the cover. The main protagonist of the story is Oindrilla Roy aka Oinks, and along with her, there are a bunch of characters such as Vivek, Dhivya, Ankita, etc. are presented in the book and play an important role in the story. Our lead Oindrilla is working in an NGO and she had a crush/interest on someone long back and also got rejected by that person. Now in the present for her work purpose, she wants to travel to Shillong and there she encounters Vivek again who is that crush. So the story is going to be about second-chance love and romance alone? That's where the author has given us the twist Our lead Oindrilla is funny and ...

 T op 3 Books That Made Me Ugly Cry As a reader, I always prefer fictional novels and that too romantic fiction because those are mostly light reads with happy endings. I also try to switch the genre of my books often to avoid the reading slump from reading romances. On such occasions, I used to read some great books and after reading it would make me emotional, weak, and cry badly. Here are the Top 3 books that made me cry so badly and ugly.  1. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes   This book made me cry within the first few chapters after knowing that the main lead was paralyzed. The bonding between the two main leads is brilliantly presented in this book. The book portrays the love between the main leads from 'Hate to Friendship and then Friendship to Love'. Their movie time, their trips, their first kiss everything was so perfect. But the ending of the book made me cry ugly Why! Why! Why! he chose the Dignitas. Why did he choose suicide? Though the justification he gave ...

 H ow did my book-reading journey started When I was a little girl I used to see lots of regional books filled the entire shelf of my dad's room. He is very generous and will always allow me to touch those books but I was not allowed with the pen or pencil into that room. Of course due to some damage control preservation. Whenever I enter that room the old book presented in that room will give me a warm hug through its dedicated book smell. So whenever I entered that room I used to sniff those book's wonderful smell and will open those books and there I could find the coffee-stained color inner pages. When I go through those books I used to see the small classic old ads for Pond's Powder Tin, Colgate tooth powder, Hamam soap, etc.   The small tiny black letters, the yellow stained pages, and the pencil art inbetween the novels all were purely nostalgic to remember.  Since my 7th grade I started to read my regional novels and then when I hit 9th the public exam pre-coachin...

T he Ambassador's Wife written by  Kristina Stangl . This book will come under the kind of family-based thrilling non-fictional kind of read. The book has the most suitable title for the story. The cover image also kind of looking good for the plot, but if the author used graphic images kind of picture it will even more appealing to the eyes.   The main protagonist of the story is Kate but along with her John and Jennifer also play equally important roles respectively. The story starts with the twins Kate and Jennifer who have nothing in common between them other than their appearance. Kate was interested in reading, whereas  Jennifer was interested in finding Prince Charming.

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. The title of the book was a little scary and quite catchy as well at the same time. The cover image of the book was the perfect match for the story, if you look closely you can see the tree and the window but not the witch yet why? Let's discuss everything in detail in this review. There are many characters in this book such as Dada Bhai of Bohrawadi Udaipur, Ahad, Sugra Bai, Zamindar Rao, Hariharan who is greedy over money, the Peepul Tree, etc.  The story takes place in the year 1950 and it starts in the house of Dada Bhai where he found his daughter Sanaz dead, since that day was a Mahara Sankaranthi the house was filled with guests and neighbors and there were also few other people from various caste and financial background such as Parijat, etc were also presented in the house.
