Book: With The Fire On High

Author: Elizabeth Acevedo

Publisher: Harper-Collins Publishers

Format: PDF

My Rating: 4.2 / 5 ⭐


My Review:

🍳If there's any book that's piqued my curiosity in food, it has to be this one. I have never shown such interest to enter in my kitchen & try out different meal blends. The writer has projected the whole novel in such an elegant way that it also forces its readers to make a leap of faith in their own courses. I have fallen in love with this book & definitely gonna bring it up shortly for a re-read.


🍳This book has a classic combination of all sentiments & makes the readers really feel them. The literature & conversations are so vivid, it makes the complete narrative quite convincing. It's my first novel of Elizabeth & I am especially looking ahead to reading her other works. The author has wonderfully portrayed a teenage mother's predicament amid building her profession & raising her daughter.


🍳'I've had a lot of things to feel ashamed about, and I've learned most of them are other people's problems, not mine.'


🍳Because I enjoyed this book so much, I would want to try the audiobook variant as well. Though I couldn't complete this novel in one session, it's like a perfect rainy day, homey beside a hot cup of cocoa kind of read. I had fun reading this one (yes, I wept as well in some portions :D). Adore the book's cover & the protagonist. I would suggest this book to everyone, a definite must-read!

Everything And Nothing by Nilotpal Kumar Dutta - Book Review

Book: Everything And Nothing Author: Nilotpal Kumar Dutta Publisher: Tara India Research Press Genre: Historical Fiction Format: Kindle My Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars Review: You feel the brunt of a situation when you and your closed ones are, in reality, going through it. That's what precisely happened to Damyanti, our protagonist, from Everything and Nothing. The politics for separatism were embedded by the British for increasing division amongst the Hindus and Muslims to control India peacefully. 'Divide and Rule' said the Outsiders, and politicians seem to live by it even now. Author Nilotpal has splendidly scripted the novel, including all the circumstances and situations that we had only faintly learned in our history lessons. How hard it must have been for the people who had to, in effect, endure it. I have rarely come across a separation narrative that of India and East Bengal. Kudos to the author for doing a noteworthy study on the topic; representation o...

  Book: MI ЯЯЯ O: at TH Ǝ W Ǝ I Я Ɑ WAYWA Я Ɑ Author: Manoj Kumar Sharma Genre: Fiction Format: Kindle My Rating: 4.1 / 5 stars Review: Manoj's debut book 'Mirrro' is a perfect action-packed entertainer with the ideal amount of action, drama, love, and suspense. All that you would definitely find in a Bollywood flick. As I was proceeding, I could see images rolling in my memory, and I really had popcorns throughout the novel. Expressing all the uncanny techniques to resolve India's predicaments is absolutely unheard of and displays the author's creativity. We invariably believe that each New Year, there'll be a New Progressive India. But will that actually be true? Will all the prevailing difficulties that India is suffering be abolished? Will there be further obstacles generated due to all the scientific inventiveness? The author has conscientiously exposed New India with its current problems and how it hits the general people. The vices, i...

Book: Breathtaking Author: Courtney Turcotte Bond Publisher: All The Everythings Publishing My Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars "If you donate your organs, you will certainly enhance someone's life, and most likely, you will save someone's life." Review: Breathtaking, Courtney's debut novel is a marvelous piece that is motivated by real-life youngsters (the real heroes), and I am so glad that I got to read this one. Adam, Cara, and Reid, you are the cutest people, and you'll have grown to be my most beloved personalities. I covet we were buddies in actual as well. Breathtaking is regarding the ties of friendship and affection. There is an elegant fabrication of sentiments of joy, melancholy, heartbreaks, neglect, expectations, and recognition. This book, with its story, unquestionably teaches us a lot about life, nothing is constant. If there's a shadow of tribulation, there's also peace, and all take their course to emerge. This book not just m...
