A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World by C.A. Fletcher

There is a short story behind my getting my hands on this book. In my usual eagerness to jump on books that look interesting, I requested a version on NetGalley before I found out that I was being granted access to a sampler! What would I do with a part of a dystopian novel and…

They Call Me the Cat Lady by Amy Miller

This book was not what I expected, in a good way. It was a relatively fast book with such an enchanting cover and that title that I expected a particular type to repeat itself. I settled down this rainy afternoon and before I knew it I was crying with it! Nancy Jones is introduced to us as…

The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia

Translated by Simon Bruni Once in a while, I hope to stumble upon a book that surprises me at different stages of its reading making sure I am paying attention to the fact that it is not exactly going the way I thought it would. At such times, I also hope to enjoy the experience…

Clock Dance by Anne Tyler

I remember seeing a lot of interesting reviews for this book last year and the year before that and when I saw it on my library's recently procured list, I reserved it immediately. It is a very quick read for a book of its size and simple in its message. It is about the life…

Fallen Mountains by Kimi Cunningham Grant

I have not been in the mood to write reviews the past couple of days but I think I have the mood back and it might just improve as I go deeper into the post. It does not reflect badly on the books that I did read in the meantime, just that I have finally had a…

Adequate Yearly Progress by Roxanna Elden

I do not know what prompted me to download an advance copy of this book via NetGalley but I did. It was published in august of 2018, and a surprisingly great read. I say surprising because I went in blind and the beginning of the story was interesting but I did not realise I would…

The Two Hearts of Eliza Bloom by Beth Miller

  The reason I put up a very shady looking picture of the cover is because when I was given access to the advance review copy it looked like this. Now that the time has come for the release it looks like the girl with the umbrella which does not match the book's emotional quotient.…
