January 2022 Books vs Moods

The first month of a new year is over! However often I say this, it catches me by surprise every time. It is startling how fast time seems to be moving, with every week just ending as soon as it begins (or so it feels). I hope you have had a chance to check out…

Olga Dies Dreaming by Xóchitl González

I almost gave up on this book a couple of times. It is primarily because of the language used. There is a lot of cursing, which always puts me off. It might be a natural mode of communication among people now, but it distracted me from the ongoing story. It also did not make me…

Night Watch (Discworld #29) by Terry Pratchett

This might just be the year that I work my way through significant Terry Pratchett Books. My library has a sporadic collection, but I have got my hands on digital reprints that are coming out this year. I have finally got into the groove of reading it at the pace that it is best enjoyed.…

The Jasmine Throne (Burning Kingdoms #1) by Tasha Suri

I took time to get through it despite my familiarity with these hurdles.This is probably my first Indian-origin inspired world(That I…

The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking #1) by Patrick Ness

I did not have much knowledge of contemporary books when I was still in school, and this book, therefore, flew under my radar. I saw a tenth-anniversary version at my library and decided that I should give it a shot. I have built up some working knowledge of its popularity since I started blogging.I was…

A Special Cornish Christmas by Phillipa Ashley

Narrated by : Emma Powell I found myself struggling a little to start this review. So much so that I decided to use this as a crutch to begin. It is not because the book was bad, but mostly because there was no specific thing that stuck out for me. That may be because I…
