My Review :
I got this book as a part of an influencer program. When they gave this book to me I cringed. Again a self help book, which will say do this, do that blah blah blah…
But I was wrong. This book is like a workbook for us. At the end of chapters, the author has given DIY taks. And it makes me feel like I'm working on a workbook. I loved that shower power DIY especially.
This book is divided into 4 parts and each part focuses on different concepts. I liked the way the author narrated her stories, experiences and other things.
The language of the book is pretty simple and easy to understand. This book touches various situations which we all would've faced. I agreed with the author in many places. I felt like chatting with a friend after a long time.
And as a feminist, I like the way she talks about the status of women in this society. It is truly the icing on the cake of this book according to me. That particular chapter talks about how a present day woman is a super woman.
Apart from these, there are many things I liked in this book. From this book, I learned,
How to be 'me’. Without guilt and shame how I can embrace myself and love myself.
How to revamp my life!
How to declutter my mind and hear my inner voice!
How to embrace my failures!
What to do when I get fear!
How to find my passion!
How to challenge my mind everyday!
And how I can evolve into me. Without the pollution of others how I can evolve into me.
And coming to the negative part,
I didn't like the different sizes of fonts used in the book! It was quite distracting and it made me to skip some parts!
At certain places, I couldn't connect with the writing style of the author!
After second part, I felt the book started to drag.
That's all I can think for the negative points of the book!
And I'm really glad that I got this book in my early twenties! I'll definitely put to use whatever I have learnt from this book!
My Rating : 3.8/5

ON THE OPEN ROAD
Author - Stuti Changle
Publication- Invincible Publishers
No. of pages - 188 pages
My Review: When this book arrived, I literally fell in love with the cover. Such a beautiful book cover. And I started reading preface, I fell in love with the author's writing. The book hooks the reader right from the first page. When Myra feels frustrated with her job, we also feel frustrated with her. When she want to get out of her cubicle, we feel like encouraging her. And when Kabir wants to start his own business from scratch, we can understand his feeling. And the part where Kabir and Sandy discusses about their start-up, is like a breeze. The author made a great effort to cut the unwanted crap from the book. When these 3 meet and discuss about the start-up, as a reader I feel like arguing with them. The way the characters keeps their point is interesting. And we have a mysterious guy Ramy over there who comes and goes like a full moon! The secret about Ramy is finally revealed at the end of the book which is the main twist of this whole story. Because, Ramy is the person who inspires a whole generation with his blog 'On the Open Road’. But I personally felt that Ramy didn't get a proper closure he deserved.
Long Story Short:
Good Story.
Well paced plot.
Well developed characters.
A beautiful writing style.
Well narrated story.
Pros-
Light read.
Beautiful cover.
Good story and a well paced plot.
Relatable and we'll developed characters.
A good plot twist.
Cons-
Few grammatical errors.
Sometimes I felt the story is disconnected at some point (especially after the presence of Ramy). But it is explained later. Though it could've been avoided.
Would I recommend this book?
Definitely! I would recommend this book as it is a light read as well as a good story. Also, I would recommend this book for aspiring entrepreneurs. It induces the entrepreneur in you.

Minuscule is like a breeze in between the storm. Given a choice I would prefer thick books over thin books anytime. But after reading Minuscule, I will not hesitate to pick up a thin book. I felt like reading a personal diary of the author while reading this book! I liked the little musings in between the bigger part. The musings were small but deep! I totally enjoyed reading those. The way author has framed the book is amazing. Though, microfiction is not my favourite, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. And I totally loved the very last part of the book. Right from the cover to the musings, the book is a complete package.
Would I recommend this book?
Hell Yeah! This book is a light read and I actually finished it in an hour. If you want a wonderful short read, you can pick up this book.

It is a real delight to read this book. When you are an Indian and watching Tollywood and Bollywood movies are your favourite thing to do, then you will enjoy this book definitely. The story is divided into 3 parts. Each part has a theme. The first part is a typical first 60 minutes of a movie where the hero goes all lovey dovey and by the end of it the conflict will be introduced. The second part is the song part. Where the hero after a conflict will reach heights in a single song! The third part is the last 70 minutes of a movie where after the song the hero faces sudden conflict and again he'll work to rise.
I liked the way, the characters are projected. But in some places, I felt the writing was too descriptive for my taste.
Their idea of start-up was so novice and it'll be great if that happens for real. I hope this will inspire entrepreneurs to open a start-up in this line of service.
Though I compared it with movies, the book is a fantastic read. I enjoyed the book thoroughly (of course without using logic).

'Saroja’ is a well written book with well developed characters. The book is divided into 3 parts. The first part is about how Saroja is brought up in his early years and how she succeeded in her love life. The second part is about how she overcame the tragedy which shook her totally. The third part is about how she finally overcame everything and succeeded in her life.
To be honest, I liked the cover of this book more than anything. The characters are well developed and well executed in the book. This story beautifully portrays a life of a girl who faces lot of struggles and the way she overcame it. From my personal point of view I liked the protagonist very much.
But, at some places I felt the description was little too much for my taste. Also few places were filmsy for my taste. And there were few grammatical mistakes which author could've avoided.
Overall, it is a wonderful read.
Would I recommend this book?
Definitely! I would recommend this book to everyone I know just because of the story and the style with which it's written.

Letting Her Know by Pranit M.
My Review - This book is like reading a diary of two teenagers who are in love. And these two are not your typical teenagers. They are little weirdos and they are madly in love with eachother. So, what happens to their love life and what struggles they have to overcome is beautifully woven into a story. Though I liked the story, at certain points I can't help but roll my eyes. It's a typical YA novel about indian teenagers. So, at certain points you can easily relate with them. And at some places, I found the story to be little dreamy. There were few grammatical errors which the author could've avoided. But overall, it's a nice and short read.
Would I recommend this book?
I would totally recommend this book for the story and cute little poems in the story.
My Rating - 3.4/5

The blurb of this book made me to accept the review copy from the author. And I'm so glad that I accepted it. The book has 6 SciFi short stories. Each and every story has its own essence and flavour. The book is a short read and it is easy to understand. The language and writing style of the book is simple and classy. Including Hindu mythology and science is a master stroke in this book! Just loved all the stories and I'm expecting more books of this kind from the author.
Would I recommend this book?
Definitely a Biggg yes. Everyone should read this book.

◾Are you a person who likes to read unusual stories or stories with pessimistic narration? Then this book is for you. This book is a collection of diary entries of a 25 something girl who observes world in a negative point of view. ◾Though I mention it as negative point of view, the negativity stops there. The book left me amazed. I connected with the book swiftly right from the prologue. ◾Certain parts of the book left me thinking for a very long time. While reading things like molestation or human - the tainted species or parenting, I couldn't help but agree with the author. ◾The book is one of the best I read recently. The book is so thought provoking and I literally can't start another one. ◾The flow of story, the style of writing, the use of language is engaging as well as captivating.
Would I recommend this book?
◾Yes! This book is a perfect short read you need for an evening journey or any kind of short journey

My Review
I picked up this book only because of the blurb. Such a captivating blurb. To be honest, first few chapters were slow as well as confusing. We know that something's wrong with Anna but we don't know what's that. First few chapters were dragging and too descriptive for my taste. The real story starts somewhere near middle of the book. Once the book starts to pick up the pace, we can see a wonderfully woven story. The story plays hide and seek with you. And it actually gets little predictable at the end! But nevertheless, I loved the book and the protagonist. This book beautifully portrayed the struggles of a person with mental disorder as well as their denial after they lost their loved ones!
Would I recommend this book?
Definitely! Though it's a bit predictable, I would recommend reading this book to all thriller and mystery lovers.
