My Review!

Thank you author for the review copy. The book is a collection of 13 short stories from different parts of India. All of these are rarely known. The title totally justifies with the stories. The stories are simple. I am not a huge fan of love stories but I really liked the book as it didn't have any sugar coating. The book travels through different timelines with different people. The stories are small, which makes it an easy and quick read. The stories are unique as they are hardly known to anyone. The stories are about people who struggled for their love or even were killed for their love. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone who likes to read romance genre. I don't like love stories a lot so, I gave it 4 stars.

Pizza Religion Book Review

Title: Pizza Religion Author: Khushwant Singh Pages: 112 Publishers: Kharag Warya’s Publisher Genre: Non-fiction I was eager to read the book because of the cover ( I am not the only one who judges a book by the cover , so don’t judge me :p) Pizza Religion is the future of religion because it understands youth, and our youth are way smarter than we ever were, they don’t have any double standards, they don’t take bullshit in the name of religion, they believe in humanity and they practice humanity. Pizza Religion is for the people who are innocent at heart, it is not the religion for cunning people who do every possible sin under the grab of religion. So be the part of the living religion that believes in practicality of life The book discusses a new religion in which we don’t just blindly follow what we have been taught and think we have committed a sin by doing a certain thing. The book explores a new religion where eating joints are the temples as we cherish being here an...

Turtles All The Way Down Book Review

Title: Turtles All The Way Down Author: John Green Pages: 286 Publisher: Penguin I got the hardcover of the book and it is amazing! It contains the best quotes from John Green's books Sixteen-year-old Aza never intended to pursue the mystery of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Russell Pickett’s son, Davis. Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts. The fault in our stars Paper Towns Looking for Alaska An abundance of Katherine Will Grayson, Will Grayson And many more!! Review This was the first books I read by John Green and I truly fell in love with his writing. The portrayal o...
