Book - Seven Colors of Love: Love Conquers Author - Pramod Rajput' Publisher - Notion Press Genre - Romance, Fiction Format - Kindle No. of Pages - 324 My Rating: 3.2 / 5 ⭐ My Review: Love is a sentiment that we all want from our chosen people & that vital person in our life, who we desire as our better half & settle with for the remainder of our beings. Sometimes, people fall in love at first sight, others never have the guts to display it to their crush, while some progress by converting from rivals to buddies to mates. Pramod's novel is all about various sorts of love that a person faces in their lifetime. This book is adapted from its Hindi version & provides us a glimpse into the world of the hero Raj & all the love that he has met. The initial 50% reminded me of the opening half of the Marathi film 'Sairat' or its Hindi version Dhadak. The book's writing is quite simple & conversations so lucid, it gives the narrative a true-to-life feeling...

Book: Twice Born : Spiritual Insights from Real-Life Stories - Finding Myself, Guiding Others Author: Sahar Gharachorlou Publisher: The Browser,  2nd edition Genre: Self Help, New Age Reinacarnation Pages: 166 My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Review: Have you ever entered a time in life where you question 'Why Me?' Has there occurred a life-altering incident when everything in your life has changed? If your response to those questions is yes, then I am sure that 'Twice Born' is the ideal book for you. We have lost ourselves so much in this ambitious & materialistic world that we tend to neglect our spiritual calling, or put in more simplistic words, our intuition. This book is all about spiritual understanding & opening up that profound part of us that we constantly overlook. For me, it turned out to be an eye-opener. There are several phases that I never presumed had an origin in the first place. For instance, Sahar has shared her clients' as well her self-experiences of...

Book: Orange City (Book #1) Author: Lee Mathew Goldberg Publisher: Atmosphere Press Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction Format: NetGalley My Rating: 4.2 / 5 ⭐ My Review: Frankly put, this work is as addictive as a bottle of soda! I bet everyone's gonna crave more (of the writing & the soda) as this is only the first installment of the series! An excellent cover picture, aptly depicting the plot & the basic idea, is so eye-catchy. One glance at the blurb & you get this dystopian touch. Any further reasons required to start the unusual plot-driven novel?! Like the orange soda that leaves a tingling sensation on one's palate, this dystopian futuristic story has that precise identical feel once finished reading it. I loved the author's work amidst various colors to explain the varying moods in different situations. Ain't it valid in our present world as well; we use diverse hues in our everyday activities to emulate our emotions. The narrative was developed ...

Book: Shepherd's Warning (The Elder's, #1) Author: Cailyn Lloyd Genre: Horror Format: BookSirens Pages: 432 My Rating: 4.1 / 5 ⭐ My Review: Do you believe in apparitions or demons or life after death? Have you ever envisioned yourself held in such a state? What would your response be? I especially prefer novels based on sorcerers or spirits & I am happy I got accepted for an ARC of this novel. The book's cover got me interested, plus the blurb blew my mind off. I never thought I could get caught in a story where I continue pondering even when I have completed it. The writing is a wee bit overpowering in the first few episodes, as the writer has attempted to put in all the data at one go. With that hiccup & later glancing at the book's length, I doubted myself if I did the best job choosing the book. So I resolved to regroup my attention & jot stuff down to retain everything. That certainly bettered ordering the novel later on with the whole family tree j...
