My last such post was October 2020 Books Vs Moods and I have a very exciting month ahead of me to look forward to. This is when I try to make my long lists, my yearly graphs etc. Hopefully I get working on it soon since I have a lot to do in that regard. They… Continue reading November 2020 Books Vs Moods

Sitopia: How to Live Well on a Hungry Planet by Carolyn Steel
I did not participate in Non-fiction November to the extent I wanted to this year. I barely squeaked in an entry for week 1 and the rest of it I never kept track or added to my list, I did not make any further entries. I am just happy to wrap up the month with… Continue reading Sitopia: How to Live Well on a Hungry Planet by Carolyn Steel
Murder in Old Bombay by Nev March
A unique setting and a well-written plot are always welcome. This book is slightly on the longer side, and the central mystery may seem to meander before reaching its conclusion.The location is India in 1892, divided in one way under the British rule and in another, under its complete influence. It begins with a recovering… Continue reading Murder in Old Bombay by Nev March
In My Attic (A Magical Misfits Mystery #1) by Lina Hansen
This is the first in a new series of cozy mystery with a healthy dose of magic thrown in. Even if the name does not give it away, the characters and the not-so-subtle conversations fill in that required information.

I recently loved a collection of historical cozies so I thought I might enjoy this one too. Debating and procrastinating this review held up a… Continue reading Mystery Follows her – Assorted authors
Adventures of a Dwergish Girl by Daniel Pinkwater
I have read and reviewed a short collection by this author previously, so when I saw this book I decided to give it a shot. This is the story of a girl who did not feel at home in her secret community. They have been lost to the fables for the city around them. The… Continue reading Adventures of a Dwergish Girl by Daniel Pinkwater
The Gold Eater (Undertaker # 1)
Once again, I fell into the trap of not noticing that graphic novel I was picking up was the first in a series. As I have no way of getting my hands on the next two (other than buying them), I will have to be satisfied with just this one. That said, I was glad… Continue reading The Gold Eater (Undertaker # 1)
They Came Like Swallows by William Maxwell
I have been missing from the blog for a while. Every time I list out all the books I have to review, I end up not following through. Here's to hoping that I finally complete this month's posts because next month and the end of the year would require a significantly improved involvement and interest… Continue reading They Came Like Swallows by William Maxwell
