The Book Thief written by Markus Zusak and published in 2005 is story of a little 10-yr old girl named Liesel, narrated by death... Continue Reading →
Slaughterhouse five had been on my must read list for a few years, because it earned its well-deserved place in plenty of To-Read lists.

If you know anything about her life and her writing, it’s going... Continue Reading →
The silent patient has raving reviews all over the cover and internet and everywhere. So it instinctively fell in the next to-read book. I could order limited books here from a local store some days back and it’s one of them. I’m on the last one now, need to ask these people if they can... Continue Reading →
Checked another box from must-read-books list. And I wish I had done it at least 15 to 20 years back. But no, maybe I would have hated it if I read it under an obligation rather than to mentally isolate myself in a group quarantine situation. To kill a mocking bird by Harper Lee has...
