I can't write books so I review them instead
Among my literary friends, Sandra Brown was a popular author. I would always hear of some book by her in passing and would be urged to read it. This time, instead of promising to read it in the future, I decided to actually pick up one of her novels and read it. So here is…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I embark on a search for the latest fantasy series to get into, I am always very cautious. Quite often, I will start the book with high expectations and find myself let down. Let me just tell you…
I’m the kind of person that doesn’t like traditional historical fiction novels. What I mean to say is that there comes a point when you get tired of reading about the same incident from the same perspective.

When I see a novel that has anything to do with India or Hindu mythology, I cannot resist. I have very strong ties with my religion and culture and I am always interested in how authors of Indian or non-Indian descent will portray aspects of it. You may have seen that I have read books…
There are two things that immediately appealed to me about this novel: it had the most awesome cover design EVER (in my opinion, at least) and it was based on a classic novel, Jane Eyre. I love classics but Jane Eyre has always been one of my favorite novels and I have read it countless times. The…

My first experience reading a novel about vampires was Twilight. At first, I got swept up in its popularity but I soon found myself hating it. After that, I didn’t think I could ever get into that theme again. But then this novel came along. I didn’t really expect too much from it if I’m…
When I turned 12, I found myself experiencing Japanese culture for the very first time. All of my friends and peers were interested in manga and anime, and everywhere I went in school, I would hear people say random phrases in Japanese. Naturally, I got caught up in the hype and I soon became a…
I borrowed this novel on a whim. I have a bunch of books to read but I decided not to read them and to stick with this one instead. Don’t ask me why, I have no idea. I sat down and just went at it for a whole day. All I’m thinking now is how…
