A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

  I have always been a solitary reader, I got my recommendations from people older than me and out of touch with the ongoing trends till I left high school. It would surprise most people who know how much time I spent reading, that I had not even heard of Harry Potter till a classmate…

The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon (No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency #14) by Alexander McCall Smith

I am well and truly settled into this series. I would recommend starting at the beginning and working your way down. The last book was :The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection. You can find the full list in Authors & their books. Once you are embedded in the life of Mma Ramotswe and her assorted family,…

Comfort Food Cafe by Debbie Johnson

The last two and a half days were like a marathon of sorts. Something that I have been able to avoid so far by being very clever, or trying to. I avoid having simultaneous access to books in a series because I tend to go slightly bonkers. In the kindle, I follow the order of…

World After (Penryn & the End of Days, #2) by Susan EE

I have reviewed the first book here. It was and is a very interesting version of a dystopian situation. The world is still under chaos by the time we start this book, and Penryn is a near death situation. As Raffee is also in a seemingly dead-end situation, there does not seem to be much…

I was wrong on both counts. I have been proved…

A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic #1) by V.E.Schwab

I believe I am a little late to be hitching on to this series(Isn't the cover interesting?). But better late than never is a good motto to have in this regard. I finished this book in one sitting. Having grown weary of digital screen, at least for the moment lounging with a relatively new looking…

The Stranger by Kate Riordan

Afterthought:I realized that I mention the blurb a few times in my review but as a habit I do not publish it, in this case I will make an exception. I am posting the description that goes with the book When you're the outsider, who do you trust? Cornwall, 1940. For decades, Penhallow Hall has…

The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie

I am pacing myself with a re reading of all the Agatha Christie's that I can get my hands on.I read them very early in my reading life, and was always under the impression that they were more innocent than some of the others I have read since. I have come to realize while reading…
