That Book I Love

NEVERMOOR : THE TRIALS OF MORRIGAN CROW  by   JESSICA TOWNSEND PUBLICATION YEAR: 2017 GENRE: Children’s Fantasy PAGE COUNT: 371 FORMAT: Paperback AVAILABLE AT:   amazon   “ A miserable lonely girl who is loathed by everyone around finds out that she has some kind of magical powers . She is soon taken to a magical land to learn some magical skills which would help her in the ultimate fight between good and evil ”   That is what the main plot of NEVERMOOR revolves around.  It may seem like a story of Harry Potter with a female protagonist but this book is so much more than that. It has its own charm.    But I find it impossible to write a  review of this book  without mentioning HARRY POTTER a couple of times.  Hence a Disclaimer-“ This review is filled with Harry Potter references” 😉   Synopsis- The story follows a girl named Morrigan Crow . She was born on this day called the Eventide and it is believed that whoever is born o

The FINAL EMPIRE by Brandon Sanderson is the first book of the MISTBORN trilogy.         PUBLICATION YEAR-2006   GENRE- FANTASY   PAGE COUNT- 643   FORMAT- Paperback    Available at Amazon       While I was in my reading quest of exploring new genres, I came across something called epic fantasy or high fantasy .

That is how   I came across   “ The Final Empire ” by Brandon Sanderson .  I was hugely intimidated by this book at first. It to

My reading experience was limited to studying for academic purposes . Once in a year or so , I would pick up a Chetan Bhagat or Durjoy Dutta book to read during vacations or while travelling for a family trip on the    train.   My   true   love for reading started when I finished my education and I started getting bored with my life. I tried a couple of jobs here and there but realized that I don't necessarily enjoy them . I remember teaching in a school but constantly waiting for the day to be over so that I can go back home and do something that I love. At first , it was binge watching all the TV  shows , but soon even that interest   faded . Then I started watching cooking videos on YouTube as I love cooking. That interest sustained for a little while until I somehow stumbled upon a video where t
