Books Vs Moods V

Previous Edition: Books vs Moods IV This brand new edition has a few new angles than the last one. To all who are seeing this list series for the first time ( however far and between you may be), this is a categorization of the books I have read since making the last list and liked…

A Tree grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

The following write-up is being posted as is after thirty-six hours of its initial conception: Once on a journey when I was bored out of my mind, I tore up the paper covers in which the sheets and pillows had been set aside for travellers (This was a train journey and I would have otherwise…

The Secret Mother by Shalini Boland

This is a book I received via NetGalley and completed in exactly one sitting.The first thing to note would probably the fact that the tension in multiple situations was escalated and let to fall a couple of times in that short a time. The ending reveals itself to you in phases so it does not…
