The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

My Rating : 4/5 Families are complex. We always seem to have a love–hate relationship with our parents. We may not agree to everything that they do, but mostly we believe that they have our best intentions at heart. Sometimes, though, even though they think that something that they’re doing would be good for us…

And then There were None by Agatha Christie

My Rating : 4.5/5 Hands down, this one is the absolute best Mystery novel I have ever read. I always read Christie when I am confused about what to do, read, binge-watch movies or when I’m about to fall into a reading slump. Quarantine is difficult and therefore I picked this off my TBR shelf.…

Tell the Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

My rating : 3.5/5 Stuck at home during this Quarantine season, I am picking random books off my TBR shelf and reading them. Tell the Wolves I’m Home is, to be honest, a little weird with a beautiful narration. Although I found the story quite weird, oddly enough I did like it. Everyone needs to…

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

My Rating : 5/5 I have a thing for psychological thrillers especially if it is well written and is totally unexpected. Sharp Objects had been on my wishlist ever since I watched Gone Girl. And now that I have finished reading I’m wondering why it took me so long to read this masterpiece. The children…

The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare

My Ratings : 4.5/5 During my grad-school I came across The Witch of Blackbird Pond when me and my friends wrote a paper on Witch trials. Since then I had decided to read this book which I finally did and now this book has become one of my favorites. People are afraid of things they…

I Am, I Am, I Am : Seventeen Brushes with Death by Maggie O’Farrell

Memoir : Autobiography I don’t really read memoirs or auto-biographies; rather I don’t read non-fiction books at all. This book was a gift from one of my best friends; otherwise I suppose I would never have decided to read it. The thing that captivated me about this book is the subtitle “17 brushes with death”.…

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

My Rating : 3.5/5 Little Fires Everywhere received the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction in 2017 and has been on my TBR list ever since. This is the first Celeste Ng book that I read and I genuinely enjoyed reading it. The book captivated me right from the beginning. Although it didn’t meet my high…

The Witch Doesn’t Burn in this One by Amanda Lovelace

My Rating 3.5/5 I had read The Princess saves herself in this One by Amanda Lovelace last year and I loved it. The Witch Doesn’t Burn in this One has been on my TBR list for a really long time and I finally read it. My honest opinion is that the previous book was much…

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

My Rating: 5/5 Where the Crawdads Sing is one of the best books I have ever read. Delia Owens is wonderful and I am absolutely in love with her writing. This book left me in tears. I would recommend everyone to read it as this has become one of my favorite books. The story is…

4:50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie

My Rating : 3.5/5 "Mrs. McGillicuddy remained frowning and vaguely unsatisfied. Would the ticket collector report her statement? Or had he just been soothing her down? There were, she supposed vaguely, a lot of elderly women telling around, fully convinced that they had unmasked communist plots, were in danger of being murdered, saw flying saucers…
