Three Stories and Ten Poems by Ernest Hemingway
The Kindle edition is poorly edited. It took away all the essence of reading even though a short one, I had to spend some time to join the disorganized parts. Also, I didn’t find the stories interesting. The last one ‘My Old Man’ still had something going on but the other two were just notes…

Bedtime Stories for kids by Alex Fabler
It has everything for sure, dragons, unicorns, fairies and everything fantasy but it needs a lot of work and polishing to be presented as a book. Some nice illustrations would be a good feature to be added to a children’s bedtime book. Also, a few stories end with just a parent narrating a story and…

Magical Stories for Children by Ruskin Bond
What is the best part of Ruskin Bond’s stories? They are realistic and relatable. A point that he mentions in this book as well is that his stories are based on observations. If you are far away from nature this book will help you connect with it. If you are nearby nature this book will…

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
This is that kind of book, where you say – one more chapter, again and again, and again. You will be pushed to pull an all-nighter as it will keep you on the edge. The story starts with Millie who is out on parole looking for a job. Luckily she finds one at the Winchesters…

Sad Cypress by Agatha Christie
This is my first Poirot book and I am a bit disappointed considering all the good words I have heard about the series. The book is in 3 three parts, the first part is where the murder happens, the second is the investigation where Poirot enters, third is all court drama. The first part felt…

Rumours Of Spring by Farah Bashir
This is one of the most disturbing reads I have had in the recent past. Having grown up in a free environment with friends and family, celebrating festivals, we were able to go to school every day, meet people, live and laugh. But when I read this book from a Kashmiri teenage girl’s perspective, I…

Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney
Has it ever happened that you are reading a book and question yourself- why why why, and then you suddenly realise – that’s why. To the point that you have to close the book and the whole story starts replaying in front of you and you scratch your head thinking what you have been reading…
