Rating: 4 Stars The Secret History by Donna Tartt is a curveball that comes and hits out of nowhere! I was not ready for the impact of this story at all. This book is considered a classic, and it is rare to find a bad review for this book. All the reviews that I have […]
Some things in life are so profound that they leave behind a permanent mark. When you are a bookworm, the same is true for some books. Over the years there have been many books that have left me speechless with wonder. Here, I’m listing down those books that have stayed with me for years, even […]
Rating: 3.5 Stars The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is one of those books that lie around for years, ignored and unread. I got this book way back when it was first published. Back then there were no signs of it being part of a trilogy! Unfortunately, during the last few years, my threshold for […]
Rating: 3.5 Stars The Whisper Man by Alex North is a good thriller, but not as terrifying as everyone claims on the back cover. The story and the setting are chilling enough, and anything that involves children is always uncomfortable to read, but calling it thriller of the year is going a bit far. After […]
Rating: 3.5 Stars Another great thriller by Shari Lapena. Though she hasn’t been able to recreate the chilling atmosphere of The Couple Next Door in her later books, she still manages to pack enough in The End of Her to satisfy her readers. Stephanie and Patrick are parents to newborn twins, exhausted and sleep-deprived like […]
Rating: 3 Stars The Other People is a decent book, but it doesn’t match up to the earlier brilliance of The Chalk Man. It is unfortunate that C.J. Tudor set the bar so high for herself with The Chalk Man. Gabe has spent the last 3 years looking for his daughter. Everyone says his wife […]
Winter break. A time when everyone and their neighbour feel it’s their duty to travel. At least they did, until the world was hit by the Coronavirus, and it became prudent to stay put wherever you are. Thankfully, I have never claimed to be very prudent. And so it was that we decided to go […]
Rating: 4 Stars JP Delaney has done it again! The Perfect Wife is the perfect thriller. It keeps you on the edge and waiting to see how it all concludes. Technically, this book can be classified as a sci-fi thriller, but only because it revolves around Artificial Intelligence. The blurb of the book is so […]
Rating: 2.75 Stars So, so disappointed with this book by Ruth Ware. One by One goes into the forgettable category of The Lying Game by the same author. It reminded me of so many books that I have read previously, I thought I had read it before! The theme of stranded-in-a-house-with-a-murderer-on-loose has been done to […]
Rating: 3 Stars I started reading The Geometry of God by Uzma Aslam Khan, without any idea what it was about. I’m always looking for good Pakistani authors, so when a book club I follow started reading this book, I decided to join in. I wasn’t disappointed. The Geometry of God is the story of […]
