How I Broke Up with My Colon by Nick Seluk, The Awkward Yeti

This Book is available to request on NetGalley till the 24th of March This collection was not what I expected at all(since I did not pay attention to the tagline)! It is also an infrequent occurrence for that reaction to be followed by actual enjoyment. I follow the Awkward Yeti on Instagram, previously Fb and…

18 Tiny Deaths by Bruce Goldfarb

This book is available for request for another three days on NetGalley. I usually find it hard to read my way through non-fiction in a few days. It takes time and mental investment to keep myself going even if I find the content inordinately interesting. This was probably one of the few books where I…

How to Be a Dictator by Frank Dikötter

In my bid to increase the number of non-fiction titles that I pick up in any given year, I had seen this and found myself interested. I started reading this last year, and it took a painfully long time for me to read. This is not the book's fault since the author has maintained a…

The World at Night: Spectacular photographs of the night sky by Babak Tafreshi

I have always liked the idea of a book of photographs. My (late) grandfather once shared a treasured old copy of black and white photos with me by binding it anew and writing on it in the front flap (as well as censuring a few pics as elders are wont to do when giving kids…

Expeditions Unpacked by Ed Stafford

As an unexpected addition to my participation in Non-Fiction November I am (almost) ending this month with a Non-fiction book that I had forgotten I had a timer on. I have an E copy of the ARC by the publishers (I love the wide range of topics they cover in their publications) which expires tomorrow…

Atlas of Vanishing Places The lost worlds by Travis Elborough

I have reviewed two other 'Atlas' on this blog:    This particular book was different from the previous two Atlas' that I read. This is more of a paced history/geography lesson. It goes in order, introducing us to a place- both as it stands(or doesn't) now and how it used to be. There are pieces…

The Fall of the Wild: Extinction, De-Extinction, and the Ethics of Conservation by Ben A. Minteer

This is a book of (almost) essays. The author is an expert in the field and has been involved in multiple conversations about the status of the conservation and related fields. This may be an abrupt form of starting a review but the book is equally straightforward and jumps right into the heart of the…
