One Arm Shorter Than The Other by Gigi Ganguly

The unexpectedness of the book is what set this book apart for me. When I first started reading it, I encountered the eponymous man with one arm shorter than the other who was doing repairs in Delhi. The time changes over the next few books, but the man is in all of them.After the first…

To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara

I do not know why I finished this book. It might have been the author's skill in writing a story, but the story's content did not hold me the way I hoped it would.It is a tome of a book, or at least felt that way. It is the primary reason for my not enjoying…

The Truth and Other Stories by Stanisław Lem

Translated by: Antonia Lloyd-Jones I read this book a few months ago but with the reviewing break, I took, its review got pushed. I then wanted to talk about each short story briefly to give a better picture of the entire collection (as I usually do). This time, however, there was the slight issue that…

I listened to and reviewed Scythe (Arc of a Scythe #1) on this blog earlier. I listened to the first book a long time ago. The popular series was somewhere on the blogosphere at all times, and I kept watch for access to it at all times. I do not usually buy books in this…

The Blue Book of Nebo by Manon Steffan Ros

I have been offline for quite a while. A family member staying for a week followed by some work that needed getting done (helped with a huge dollop of lethargy) meant I have been offline longer than I like. I have also not been reading as many books as I was earlier in the year,…

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…

When The Sparrow Falls by Neil Sharpson

Dystopia takes many forms. This one is highly technical while also questioning the sense of self or identity itself.It took me a while to get to grips with the content or the world. Unlike other dystopian scenarios, this does not look like it's based on the American continent. The world-building is not exactly unique but…
