That Book I Love

It is that time of the year when one reflects on the year gone by and starts making New Year Resolutions. I feel like 2018 is the year when I truly enjoyed being a reader/ bibliophile. I started getting more and more involved in the bookish community and my love for books amplified. According to my goodreads account , I have read a total of 54 books this year. This was way beyond my expectation.   You can check  out my good reads account ( here ) to see the ratings I gave to all these 54 books that I consumed last year. Below I am going to list out some favourites of mine which made a huge impact to my reading life. TOP 5 FAVOURITE BOOKS Following consists of my favourite books that I read in the year 2018. 1.         Harry Potter series by JK Rowling – It may sound insane but this year, I read Harry Potter for the first time. As a kid, I had watched a couple of harry potter movies and enjoyed it. Reading these books as an adult was extremely enjoyable. Except for

TITLE: The Way of Kings   (Book 1 of THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE   series) AUTHOR: Brandon Sanderson PUBLICATION YEAR: 2010 GENRE: High Fantasy PAGE COUNT: 1252 FORMAT: Mass Market Paperback AVAILABLE   AT : amazon It took me almost a month to finish this mammoth of a book “ The Way of Kings “ by Brandon Sanderson . It was a huge commitment and   I enjoyed every bit of it. At first glance, you may feel a bit intimidated but I urge you to give it a try. It is totally worth your time. Throughout this whole month , I was so immersed in this story and its characters that I was constantly thinking about it even when I was not reading the book. I might have made atleast a million theories and multiple predictions about the story . Honestly, I have never been so involved in a story to this extent. This post may seem less like a review and more like me singing praises for this book. I am going to cite out reasons why you should give t

TITLE: The Knife Of Never Letting Go (Book 1 Of CHAOS WALKING series) AUTHOR: Patrick Ness PUBLICATION YEAR: 2008 GENRE: Young Adult Science Fiction PAGE COUNT: 479 FORMAT: Paperback AVAILABLE   AT : amazon   Ever since I read and loved   The Monster Calls ( see Review here ) by Patrick Ness ,I have been trying to read more of his books . The Chaos Walking Series is the one that everyone seemed to be recommending.   Also if I am not   mistaken   there is a movie coming up starring Tom Holland based on this series   next year. So I bought the first book The Knife of Never Letting Go to try and see if I like it   so that I can continue on with the series. The story follows a boy named Todd Hewitt who is believed to be the last boy in this strange town called prentisstown where exists no women.   It   is   more or less like a dystopian world where men are able to hear each other’s thoughts . At the beginning of the story, he is

TITLE: More Happy Than Not AUTHOR: Adam Silvera PUBLICATION YEAR: 2015 GENRE: Young Adult Contemporary, LGBT PAGE COUNT: 293 FORMAT: Paperback AVAILABLE   AT : amazon   I have seen this book feature in the favourite LGBT Book list of most Book Tubers . I have also seen it being applauded by people who don’t necessarily like reading Contemporaries. So when I decided to read an Adam Silvera , I chose this one to read first. Adam Silvera is a popular Young Adult writer who is known to have written a lot of gut wrenching sad stories that could make even a heartless soul cry. I didn’t end up crying but it definitely shook me – not because it was depressing but because I never thought the narrative would take such an unexpected turn towards the second half of the book. But let me say this out loud- I absolutely hated the first 170 pages of this 300 page book. I don’t know what got into me to continue reading a book that I clearly ha
