Night Road by Kristin Hannah

I primarily borrowed this book to confirm if it was the story that captivated me in The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah or if it was the author's storytelling style. I have come to a conclusion that it might be both. Two books however is a small sample space and this definitely means I will be on the…

The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O’Farrell

This book was the closest I have come to finishing a book in one sitting in quite a while. The story has strong tendrils that reach out and draw you in like one of those venus flytrap plants. I use such a morbid comparison because of the ending. I would have given it four stars…

Second Acts by Teri Emory

This is another book I got a chance to read thanks to NetGalley, it is due to be released in a month or so. The book is the story of three women who were college roommates and are now in their early fifties. That was probably my mistake, since I do not have much insight…

Broken Pieces by Kathleen Long

I feel a little bad having to put this book in the Chick lit category ( It feels like a derogatory term with flakiness embedded in it, but I use it often for good deep books as well). I persist in using the term though because it shows the target audience and succeeds in touching…

Frederica - Heyer, Georgette Genre : Regency fiction ( KIndle unlimited 5 stars!) I wouldn't label this a regency romance per se. Only because of the finesse involved. I was encouraged to…

Jan 22nd-24th

Finding Libbie: A Novel - Sletten, Deanna Lynn  Genre : Drama ( KIndle unlimited, 3 stars) The story is a little like Kuch Kuch Hota hai with a longer married life for Shahrukh and Rani. The writing is good and the story while totally expected is a reasonably good read The Woman on the Orient Express…

January 16th and 17th

Mad Love - Spalding, Nick   Genre: Drama (3 stars read on Kindle unlimited) If the author refrained from using swear words i would enjoy the book more because of a deadly sense of humour and sarcasm. Sarcasm makes me feel slightly smarter when i spot it in writing ( i find it harder to sense…
