Catching Currents by Kari August

Sagas come in different forms. This one had its own meandering and scenic route(literally and figuratively). I must say that the author's note at the end is a must-read because it elevates the content to a different level. We begin at the late teens of our protagonists. We have multiple main characters to focus on…

Once Upon a Time I Lived on Mars: Space, Exploration, and Life on Earth by Kate Greene

I was intrigued by the topic around which the book revolves. It is about a scientific study which involved people mimicking the life they would lead if they were stationed on Mars. Recently, I have come across many videos of this concept in the media and thought this would increase the information I have about…

This is a brand new cozy-series with a retired teacher at the helm, or at least she hopes to be post-retirement.

I have read and reviewed the previous two books in the series earlier on the blog : here. Despite mentioning several times that the writing style was not for me, I was lured into trying out this book just to see where the storyline for Kitty's mother would go and on that front, I was…

The Gentle Art of Tramping by Stephen Graham

In my quest to read a variety of books, I picked this one out when it was available. I was sitting on it for quite a while before I actually opened it up. Once I started, though, it was easy going. Not the quickest read but that is almost the point of it all!This is…

Death at the President’s Lodging (Sir John Appleby #1) by Michael Innes

It took me a long time to read this slim volume. It was a hectic time that I tried to squeeze this in, and it is not meant to be read in the speed that I did. I know this for a fact because there were times when I slowed down and realised I was…

The Lady Vanishes by Ethel Lina White

This is one of the books suggested to me which I listed in Books I was recommended. It was one of the last batch of books I got from the HK library. I had not heard of this book or seen it on the screen in any form. The start of the book was slow going.…
