Thirteen Reasons Why - Book Review

Being a bookworm is something that I cannot give up at any cost. It’s a craze one cannot end. My life is all about going to a bookstore and coming out with loads of books and never feeling sorry for it cause this is what I was born to do LOL. So when I started to hear about a novel by Jay Asher which is based on a girl who committed suicide, to be honest, I was not impressed. I’m more of a romantic novel lover and I am not exactly into stuff like suicide and investigative stories, which I thought this novel was about. Few time later I heard there’s a TV series coming based on the novel “Thirteen Reasons Why” and I was curious, I wanted to know what’s so interesting about this book and so you might have just guessed what I did. Yes, I bought it. I cannot sum up the rush of emotions I felt while reading it and yes I totally remember that I said I was not impressed by the plot it was based on but to be very straight, sometimes I do judge a book by its name or cover, although this is ...

Looking for Alaska Book Review

- The obsession of Miles with last words made me believe that a person's last words do have some kind of meaning. Alaska Young, always being moody, self-destructive, rebellious, reckless somehow finding distractions from her inner struggles & always looking for a way out of the labyrinth. Her death was tragic indeed. She left many mysteries behind. - The love that Miles had for Alaska made it more worse for him to forget that he let her go alone that night, drunk & messed up. Alaska truly didn't find her way out of the labyrinth but she did write it 'Straight & fast'. 'If people were rain, I was drizzle & she was a hurricane' - John Green ❤   

Eleanor and Park Book Review

Eleanor & Park is the story of two star-crossed lovers written by Rainbow Rowell. Rainbow Rowell is one of my favorite writers. The magic she does with words is what every reader craves. She knows how to make her reader connect with the story and make them live it. The story is all about finding your first love and letting yourself get lost in the pleasure of being consumed by it. Rowell in an interview said "I've always, always wanted to write first love story. I feel like, when you're 16, you've the greatest ever capacity for romantic love. You fall in love with every cell of your body. But at the same time, at that age, you've so little to offer the person you love. You don't belong to yourself quite yet - you still have school & your parents, your own space - and you also know that what you're feeling probably won't last. First love usually doesn't. There's a built-in tragedy to falling (truly) in love when you're 16.It's ...
