NAME OF THE AUTHOR: Neha Singh

YEAR OF PUBLICATION:2019

GENRE: Romance

     "The language of the book is simple. The writing style of the book is really good. The best thing about the book is how the characters and the emotions they are going through are portrayed well.
      This book starts with Kalindi, going through a really tough time after her breakup,which is getting worsened by her Mom's constant comparison and complaint rituals, fight with her best friend Aanya,Her poor scores,his disinterest on the subjects she was taking up in college. Suddenly things started to fall in place after Sameer entered her life.
         This story not just about romance. Its more than that. It goes deep into the feelings and behaviours,her anxiety post breakup. It was really heart breaking to read the struggles of Kalindi. This book deals with stuffs which are relatable to everyone in one situation or the other. But towards the end it was heartwarming. Still I felt like somethings were abrupt like while meeting each other,both Sameer and Kalindi they felt like they knew each other before or something like that and also Sameer seemed to know more details about Kalindi. I expected some kind of explanation to these. Overall it was really a good read."

YEAR OF PUBLICATION:2019
GENRE:Fiction

The language of the book is really difficult for me and also the writing style is quite complicated. Most like of the characters in this book were odd and complex, especially in the beginning.As you go on,you'll get used to it.
This book follows the life of Nakin,a Philosophy professor and Grace,who is more than what everyone sees her & Thamin and Winter.Layla  was Nakin's dead girlfriend and I really found her character a blur.I couldn't able to understand her much.But her character reminded me of "Athena" from "The Witch of Portobello".This book was quite confusing, especially at the beginning parts and where new characters were introduced but then it was clear. One really need to focus while reading this to grasp what is going on. At times it also gets philosophical and has Mythological references.I didn't like the Character of Erisha.Thamin and Winter is my Favourite!
RECOMMEND:No,if you are a beginner.Yes,if you enjoy reading difficult language.

NAME OF THE AUTHOR:Paulo Coelho
YEAR OF PUBLICATION:2007
GENRE:Fiction
PLOT:This book follows the life of Athena,originally named Sherine Khalil,her learnings and teachings of who she really is and The MOTHER,not her birth or adopted mother but the Mother you come to know once you read the book,her spirituality and her death.

               "Starting from the cover,it is such a pretty cover and at the beginning itself it is mentioned that instead of putting it like a biography,Athena's life events were described from different people's perspective.That style of writing was really good and it really helps the story to move in a flow.The writing style in this book ended up more in the philosophical side,So you'll really enjoy the book if you love reading philosophical writings.I felt like that is because i took more time to complete the work and it totally worth it.
                The character of Athena and her beliefs and practices were well written.We get to know about her every phase of life,Birth,Adoption,Marriage,Motherhood,Learner,Teacher,Leader till her death and the best thing about the book is that every page would have something to teach you or make you think about something you could've never thought .Seriously,every word in this book is a gem,for example,the answer given by Athena to the question, What is Happiness will make you question what you thought of happiness all your lives and after you finished reading this book,you would definitely love to Reread this book again♥️"

PLOT:This Novel revolves around the four generations of McGregor eventually changed to Blackwell family and their business Kruger-Brent Ltd , also the lives of the family members as Kate Blackwell being the centre.
        
  "The title definitely do justice to the storyline.It starts with young, talented, aspiring Jamie leaving his hometown in  search of diamonds and how he established his own company Kruger-Brent Ltd.Then his daughter Kate, Married to a very determinant And tirelessly working young woman with her never ending love towards Kruger-Brent Ltd,who married a Blackwell.Then it talks  about her son Tom and then about his twin daughters.
             I personally liked the prologue of this book, making me who are those characters and what was she talking about,which as the story goes on will be revealed.One of the bizarre things about the book is that whenever you started hating a character,there would be another character,you would hate more.But the more you hate the characters the more you love the book at the end(to understand and experience ,this have to read this book).It also touches upon the  racial discrimination and violence happened at that time.It's not so much of a thriller but definitely a great read.Finally this book would teach the readers, how far one could go for revenge or to fulfill their passion and how much this extreme passion can affect one's life."
               "We are what we do and we will be what we did"
RATING:⭐⭐⭐⭐
FUN FACT:It also has one sequel mistress of the game by Tilly Bagshawe,which continues with the children of Eve and Alexandra,the Blackwell twins.
RECOMMEND: Yes
QOTD:Is there any book where you hated the characters but loved the book?

GENRE:Fantasy,Thriller
PLOT:  Luwan,a simple,village boy and his sister Meg starts their journey to escape from village officials for not paying tax , which take its pace when they are chased by Dark forces, for things which both Luwan and Meg are unaware of.

"Starting from the cover,' A burning pendant' perfect for this novel ,also a Quote from the book makes it more apt.At the back of the cover, a map showing entire Region of Inkredia and the Towns and Villages in it,makes  it interesting for the readers and helps in understanding the context and regions mentioned later in the book.The writing style of the book is simple but elegant.This makes the readers hooked on to the book and making it a perfect page turner.It is among one of the books which can be read in one sitting and feeling sad that it ended so soon and waiting for the next book to come out.
From the prologue to epilogue,every chapter has its magical element.Being it a magical book or magical beings they will amaze the readers. Luwan obviously is a brave young lad but his sister Meg was so brave and her lover for his brother was so amazing.Their journey with different friends introduces the readers to new characters whom everybody will love.  Entirely this book was one amazing fantasy filled adventure by an Indian author.This book is perfect for every age group and everybody will love this book.This book don't have any romance in it,since it is unnecessary for the plot and I appreciate that so much because romance was not stuffed on the book just so it will have some romantic element."

PLOT:This Books revolves around the journey of Tracy Whitney,a soft,beautiful,intelligent,young woman who transformed into a strong and intelligent woman after being tricked and jailed by a gang,responsible for her mother's suicide and left by the man she loved.

"Starting from the cover,i can't resist telling that it is such a beautiful cover.The two rolling dices depicts the unexpected tragedies happened in Tracy's life.The title,I think no other title would able to be this perfect for the plot.We never know what tomorrow will bring and what tomorrow will have for you,This title explains it all.The writing style is so good.The characters were well written with its twists and turns. Right from the page one,it will make the readers wonder what was going to happen and to wish Tracy luck in whatever she does.
The tragedies she faced in the jail sometimes made me slightly uncomfortable and then the transformation would definitely amaze you and leave a smile on your face.I  can go on and on about this book.This one was my absolute favorite from Sidney Sheldon.It is definitely a page turner,apart from the fact that  its 500 pages long it was worth single sitting finish."
